Crystal Palace vs Arsenal: Best odds, stats and betting tips

Ace Football Team previews the Premier League round 1 match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal who meet up this coming Friday. The pre-match analysis includes the latest team stats, match history and the best betting tips.

Arsenal will visit Selhurst Park on Friday for a Premier League fixture with home side Crystal Palace.

A top-half finish is the dream for Crystal Palace, but neutral spectators have them down for a season at the lower end of the league table. While a title race is perhaps too optimistic a long throw, a podium finish does not look beyond Arsenal, should they catch some strong early momentum.

The way we look at it, both Crystal Palace and Arsenal will aim to do their best to prove to their fans that they are the better team on the pitch. We are bound to see an exciting game on Friday.

Position in the Premier League standings: Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Since it is the first round of the Premier League, both teams are yet to grab their first points this season.

The visitor team Arsenal might as well do their best to start recording points right in their first game of the season. One way or the other, it will be interesting to watch these two sides fight for their first points in this campaign.
