LiontipsCrystal Palace vs Arsenal. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 19, 2021).
Command Analysis
Crystal Palace had a very bleak season. The Glaziers were eliminated from the FA Cup at the stage of the round of 32, letting Wolverhampton advance to the next stage (0:1). In the Premier League, the London team also did not have any global tasks, often making mistakes, which prevented Crystal Palace from claiming a place close to the European competition zone.
Having avoided relegation, Roy Hodgson's team was just playing out the season. In April, Crystal Palace suffered three defeats in a row, losing to Chelsea (1:4), Leicester (1:2), and Manchester City (0:2). The most recent victories of the team were earned in the games against Aston Villa (3:2) and Sheffield United (2:0), between which they lost to Southampton (1:3).
Defenders Nathaniel Clyne and Mamadou Sakho, as well as midfielder James MacArthur, will not play for the hosts due to injuries.
Arsenal did not live up to the expectations of their fans either. But the club's board decided not to say goodbye to the manager Mikel Arteta, who will continue to lead the Gunners next season.
Having lost all the chances to compete for a place in the Top-4, Arsenal bet on winning the Europa League. But the Gunners lost in the first leg of the semifinal against Villarreal (1:2) and a home draw was not enough to get to the final (0: 0).
Two rounds before the end of the season, Arsenal are ranked ninth with a total of 55 points. Despite the lack of real chances to end the season in the Top-6, the Londoners have shown the best results in the last three rounds, beating Newcastle (2:0), West Bromwich (3:1), and Chelsea (1:0).
Defenders David Luiz and Hector Bellerin have injuries. Midfielder Granit Xhaka will also miss this game.
