Friday Games
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal
Coming in off a season where they fell just two points short of qualifying for the Champions League, Arsenal is no doubt on a mission in 2022. If their recently friendly performances are any indication, they should be just fine in this opening game on the road at Crystal Palace.
In their past five games in the lead-up to this season opener, Arsenal has won all five with a goal differential of +16.
As for Crystal Palace, last season, they finished #12 on the table and will look to improve this season with what they see as a bolstered roster. Over their last five games this summer, Crystal Palace is 3-1-1, with their last win coming on July 30th against Montpellier 4-2.
Looking to not start this season with the way they did the last one, with a bad loss to Brentford, look for the Gunners to come out of the gates strong here, led by new signing Gabriel Jesus.
Pick: Arsenal -125
