On March 19, the Emirates will host the match of the 28th round of the English Premier League, in which Arsenal will meet with Crystal Palace. The start of the fight is scheduled for 16:00 Kyiv time.
Arsenal
The club played the previous match on Thursday. But that was the Europa League, which clearly does not belong to the priorities of Mikel Arteta and his wards. No, I wanted to go further, but with little bloodshed. It is noteworthy that against Sporting after 2-2 in Lisbon, the Spaniard released the players – and those, having opened the scoring, eventually lost on penalties after 1-1. Here in the Premier League – a completely different approach, there is a stubborn struggle for the title. Several times almost in a row, Zinchenko and the company had to show the mentality of a real winner, pulling out victories over Aston Villa and Bournemouth in 90+ minutes – with the latter they bounced back from 0-2! And only Fulham was beaten comfortably, 3-0.
Crystal Palace
The team has gone too far on their losing streak. Incredibly, a strong middle peasant, who was considered almost a contender for European competition after a successful last season, could not win even once in any of the tournaments after 2-0 with Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve. It is clear that they were eliminated from the glassworkers’ cups, and in the standings of the championship they fell lower and lower. Yes, there were enough draws, and the Eagles lost, as a rule, minimally. As was the case with Manchester City last weekend – there Holland scored the only goal from the penalty spot in the 78th minute. But so the departure zone is approaching more and more actively. Having also lost to Brighton this week, the capital club are now within one win of the outsider.
head-to-head statistics
Last season, Crystal Palace took 4 points out of 6 possible with a status neighbor. But then there was a confident 2-0 victory for Arsenal in the new championship.
Forecast
Bookmakers are confident in an easy victory for the Gunners. But both clubs played poorly this week, spending a lot of effort. So let’s focus on the proposal in the form of a total score of less than 3.0 goals with a coefficient of – 1.65.
