Match description
The favorites in this match are the visitors — Arsenal — therefore I back them to win. This season Arsenal have scored 69 goals and have 25 wins, while Crystal Palace have 40 goals and 11 wins, indicating a clear advantage in offensive efficiency. Defensively Arsenal are significantly better: 26 goals conceded this season and an average of 0.83 goals conceded away versus Palace’s 49 conceded and 1.17 at home; in the last 5 matches Arsenal have conceded only 1 goal, while Palace have conceded 11. Quality-of-chance metrics are similar (Arsenal xG away 1.55 vs Palace xG at home 1.5), but Arsenal produce more shots on target (4.72 vs 4.00) and have a higher conversion rate (12% vs 7%), as well as greater possession (56% vs 48%), giving the visitors control of the game. Considering form (Arsenal 4 wins in the last 5 vs Palace 1) and the goal-difference disparity (+13 away for Arsenal vs -3 for Palace at home), I assign a higher probability to an Arsenal victory.
