Crystal Palace host Premier League champions Arsenal on the final day of the season, with both clubs also looking ahead to major European finals next week. Palace are preparing for their maiden UEFA Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, while Arsenal will soon turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League final against PSG.

Although the league stakes are limited, Arsenal will want to end their title-winning Premier League campaign with another disciplined performance before lifting the trophy. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, may rotate and manage minutes, which could reduce their attacking sharpness.

With Arsenal in excellent defensive form and Palace struggling for wins, the best betting tips today point towards Under 2.5 goals, BTTS No, Arsenal to win, and a 0-1 correct score prediction.

Match News and Current Form

Crystal Palace can finish no higher than 14th in the Premier League, so their main focus is likely to be squad management ahead of next week’s UEFA Conference League final. Outgoing manager Oliver Glasner has already suggested that he must manage player minutes, which could influence both the intensity and selection for this final-day fixture.

The Eagles are winless in their last six league matches, drawing three and losing three. However, their home form has remained competitive, as they have not lost a Premier League match at Selhurst Park since February, recording two wins and three draws during that run.

Palace also have a strong historical trend on the final day when playing at home, remaining unbeaten in such fixtures in the Premier League. Still, facing a title-winning Arsenal side with defensive momentum is a difficult test.

Arsenal arrive as confirmed Premier League champions after Manchester City’s draw with Bournemouth sealed the title race. The Gunners can now enjoy a pressure-free final league match before receiving the Premier League trophy.

Mikel Arteta’s side will still want to maintain rhythm ahead of the Champions League final against PSG. Their recent form has been outstanding, with four straight league wins without conceding. Another clean sheet victory here would underline their defensive strength and keep confidence high before their European final.

Team News

Crystal Palace are dealing with fresh defensive concerns after Chadi Riad and Chris Richards picked up injuries against Brentford. With the UEFA Conference League final coming shortly after this fixture, Palace may also rotate or reduce minutes for key players.

Arsenal will be without Mikel Merino, Jurriën Timber and Ben White. Despite those absences, Arteta still has enough depth to name a strong side while balancing the need to protect players before the Champions League final.

Head-to-Head Record

Arsenal have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning eight of the last nine head-to-head meetings and drawing the other. The Gunners have also won on each of their last three visits to Selhurst Park, keeping clean sheets in two of those matches.

That strong H2H record supports the Arsenal win and BTTS No selections.
