Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction

Arsenal did not have much time to think about their defeat to Bayern in the UEFA Champions League. They have not been close to winning the title race since 2010, but they quickly refocused on the English Premier League title race after the Aston Villa match. Their 2-0 victory at Molineux stadium last weekend put them at the top of the table, while rivals Manchester City played in the FA semi-finals. Arsenal must now extend their lead in this London derby against Chelsea, as City could easily overtake them with just one point behind. The Gunners need to avoid losing points in the remaining five games to maintain their position. Therefore, this match against Chelsea is crucial for Arsenal’s title hopes.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team returned to their usual form in their latest game. Even though they won convincingly by 6-0 against Everton, Chelsea didn’t play as well as they did in the FA Cup semi-finals against City. The team managed to create many scoring opportunities, but Jackson and Palmer’s poor form meant that many of them were wasted. Even though they had more shots on target than their opponents, they struggled to score, and Silva’s late goal resulted in Chelsea’s defeat. Currently, 9th and 3 points behind rivals Manchester United, Chelsea hopes to improve on last season’s performance and climb the table. This match could extend their unbeaten away run to six games.

The Gunners had an impressive home record until they lost 2-0 against Emery’s team, ending their 7-game unbeaten run at home. Hosting the Blues could be a good opportunity to regain their dominance at home. Meanwhile, the Blues suffered a recent 1-0 defeat on the road, ending their fifth unbeaten away match. Both teams seek redemption, but for the hosts, losing is not an option if they want to stay in the title race, unless City and Liverpool make mistakes. We are banking on Chelsea with a +2.5 handicap in this match as they have not lost by more than two goals in their last two meetings.

The 20 meetings between these teams have seen an average of 3.05 goals per match, with their most recent encounter resulting in 4 goals. As Arsenal prepares for this fixture, they will need to pursue more goals while aiming for a victory. Despite their previous low-scoring game, this match will be crucial in their pursuit of the title.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s frontline delivered a disappointing performance in the FA Cup, following a convincing win in their last EPL game. Despite their exit from that competition, they will approach this game cautiously, aiming to score goals.

With Chelsea’s recent improvements, we expect them to outperform Arsenal and give them a tough challenge. Therefore, we are for both teams to score and playing with the Paripesa market.

Prediction 3: Any time goal-scorer Palmer

Palmer has been crucial in their recent games, despite his quiet performance in the FA Cup match. The young talent made history by scoring 4 goals in the Everton victory, making him the first Chelsea player to score in 7 consecutive home games.
With such form, he could spark a similar performance in important matches and continue his scoring streak, as evidenced by his goal in the previous 2-2 draw from a penalty kick. Select any time goal-scorer Palmer with the high odds of 1win.
