Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Chelsea Form

Chelsea are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Servette FC by 2-0, before beating Wolverhampton by 2-6. The winning streak came to an end against Servette FC, who ran out 2-1 winners. Chelsea showed little mercy in their past six matches at Stamford Bridge, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 19 times, while letting in six themselves.

Chelsea enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace collected one win from their last three matches, as Brentford won by 2-1. West Ham were too strong as well, winning 0-2, before Crystal Palace won 4-0 against Norwich. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Crystal Palace won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying six goals conceded and seven scored.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Chelsea a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

We'd be flabbergasted to see Chelsea waste away a win against Crystal Palace, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
