Prediction Arsenal vs Crystal Palace 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 26/10/2025

Arsenal look to extend dominant run at the Emirates

Arsenal arrive at the Emirates Stadium in bullish fashion, riding a wave of convincing results that has reasserted their status at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners have crafted an imposing sequence of performances: a 4-0 Champions League statement against Atlético Madrid only days ago sits alongside a string of domestic wins that have them perched first in the standings with 19 points from eight matches. Home form has been particularly authoritative, with five clean sheets and just one defeat in the period under review; the side’s attacking numbers underline the threat they pose, registering a healthy 15 goals overall and averaging more than seven corners per game at home. That balance of clinical finishing and defensive solidity will make Arsenal heavy favourites in front of a 60,704-capacity crowd at Highbury House.

Palace’s resilience and recent fightbacks provide spice

Crystal Palace arrive with plenty of resilience and a knack for grinding out results. Their most recent Premier League outing produced a dramatic 3-3 draw with Bournemouth after overturning a two-goal half-time deficit, a performance that showcased the team’s character and attacking unpredictability. Palace’s season includes three wins and four draws from eight matches, and they have shown they can frustrate and hit opponents on the break. Their form line reads as a string of stalemates and narrow margins, and while they have been hard to beat—only a single loss recorded—their defensive record is leakier than Arsenal’s, conceding eight times compared to Arsenal’s three.

Tactical angles and historical note

The recent head-to-head memory between these two sides suggests a fixture that can spring surprises: their April meeting ended in a 2-2 draw, demonstrating Palace’s capacity to find goals at Arsenal even when the Gunners are strong. Nevertheless, current metrics favour the hosts heavily. Arsenal’s volume of shots and dangerous attacks dwarfs Palace’s figures, and the home side’s superior clean-sheet record and recent high-scoring win against Atlético Madrid point to momentum that is hard to halt. A slightly nervous Palace tends to draw often—five draws in their last ten across competitions—but breaking down Arsenal at the Emirates will demand a near-perfect road performance.

Betting suggestion

After weighing form, recent results and bookmaker pricing, the clearest value lies with the home win on the 1X2 market. Arsenal are priced as the overwhelming favourites and arrive in red-hot form, making a straight-back of the hosts the most sensible single-market play. Bet: Arsenal to win (1) — backed by dominant home stats, recent attacking displays and a defence that has been difficult to breach.
