Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Predictions

Both sides have failed to impress in December, but Chelsea have a great record against the Eagles. I don’t expect them to be super-dominant, but I will back the Blues to win this duel. Home win & BTTS is value.

Head to Head

Chelsea have a 29-6 advantage against Crystal Palace with 9 draws in 44 matches.

The most recent head to head encounter was won by Chelsea 1-0 in January.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the Premier League in the last couple of rounds, winning six points from their last five league encounters.

The Blues suffered an unexpected 2-1 loss at Molineux on Monday to Wolves as Cristopher Nkunku’s late goal was not enough to claim at least one point. Chelsea had 69% possession, 16 shots and 1.94-1.39 expected goals but still lost the duel.

One round before that Mauricio Pochettino’s side defeated Sheffield United at home 2-0 with Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson hitting the target in the second half.

The Blues are currently sitting in 10th place with 22 points, which is far away from the Top 4 race. They can hardly be called good hosts, earning three wins, three draws and losing three games in nine appearances at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Marc Cucurella and Robert Sanchez are injured.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace’s team spirits are also low after being winless for seven Premier League games in a row. That run includes four defeats and three draws.

The most recent appearance was at Selhurst Park last Thursday against Brighton which ended without a winner 1-1. The Eagles broke the deadlock through Jordan Ayew in the 45th minute but couldn’t keep their net intact.

Crystal Palace’s last EPL victory was secured in early November at Turf Moor where they beat Burnley 2-0 with Jeffery Schlupp and Tyrick Mitchell hitting the target.

Crystal Palace Injuries & Team News

Cheick Doucoure, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Dean Henderson are injured.

Verdict

Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Chelsea won their last twelve matches against the Eagles, and won their last two duels at home. Crystal Palace can score here, but are unlikely to avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge.
