Crystal Palace FC - Arsenal FC

Today we have a good game to watch (well in my case I have this game and the Bayern one, and as a Bayern fan I will have to watch the Bayern game for a few minutes and then this game for a few minutes, and I come back to Bayern and then I go back to the arsenal game, it will be a very difficult task and tomorrow it will be more difficult because there are many games at the same time).

Crystal palace - comes to this match as a team that conceded a lot of goals in the last friendly matches and didn't do well in the matches they played against premier league teams, I'm talking about the matches they played against manchester united, Liverpool, leeds, But many news outlets are giving Arsenal the upper hand because last season they played 6 games at home without losing, but they are forgetting that last season's performance should not be a metric for the current season.

arsenal - well arsenal did very well in friendly games, with the recent or good signings of players they have made they managed to score a lot of goals and did very well in the game against premier league teams and beat strong teams like sevilla and chelsea

My bet:

The Premier League is finally about to be underway this evening! I have really missed this league especially because it a league that has the biggest competition among all leagues in Europe. The opening match is going to be Crystal Palace - Arsenal as you know. Arsenal are quite highly the favourite side to win this. They have improved their lineup so much that they are expected to be much more competitive in this season. Their last match against Crystal Palace here wasn't good but this time I expect Arsenal to win.

I agree Arsenal should be favourites but it's a bit strange to see odds in the market @1.85 for Arsenal isn't this weird?
Try to watch until the match starts if odds for Arsenal keep changing + going up there is a possibility that the market doubts Arsenal will win
I personally am not in a hurry to bet on this match worry about traps.

probably the reason why bookmakers are giving this high odd to the arsenal is because:

It is the first game of the premier league and as last season the cristal palace had no defeats in the last 5 games at home, the bookmakers are in doubt whether history will repeat itself or not
