Selhurst Park

Chelsea is set to travel to Selhurst Park to face a struggling Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Tuesday. Chelsea finds themselves 11th in the League table with 31 points from 23 games. A win for Chelsea could take them up to 9th place if other results go their way. A loss would see the teams below significantly narrow the gap. Crystal Palace on the other hand find themselves 15th on the table with 24 points from 23 games. A win could take them as high as 12th place with other favourable results. A loss could see them fall to 16th place if the teams below them win.

Crystal Palace in their last game travelled to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion. They were rocked in the first half by an energetic Brighton side as Lewis Dunk scored as early as the 3rd minute. Quick-fire goals in the space of 60 seconds by Hinshelwood and Buonanotte took the game away from Palace. The Eagles all game had nothing to show attacking-wise. They did get a consolation goal through Jean-Philippe Mateta. The bigger blow however in this game was their loss of Olise through injury.

Chelsea welcomed Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge in their last Premier League game. It started perfectly for Chelsea as Cole Palmer was brilliantly slid through by Caicedo to score the opener. It however went all downhill from there on as Wolves looked dangerous on every counterattack. Wolves got two of their goals before halftime both through Chelsea player deflections with the 2nd goal massively going down as an own goal by Disasi.

Chelsea was wide-open in midfield and defence. They did get punished as Cunha won a penalty after Malo Gusto fouled him in the box to score his third of the night and drown Chelsea. Thiago Silva did get a consolation goal for the home team but that in the end did not matter as Wolves held on to pile more pressure on Pochettino and his team. Chelsea however responded in their last FA Cup against Aston Villa at Villa Park. Goals from Gallagher, Jackson and Enzo capped off a dominant display which made Villa look poor at their home stadium. Chelsea will look to keep this momentum up against a team that they have not lost to in quite a while.

Facts:

  • Crystal Palace have lost each of their last 12 games against Chelsea in the Premier League. This is the longest run of defeats Crystal Palace have faced to any opponent in their footballing history.
  • Chelsea has an amazing record of winning 12 games in a row against Palace but the Blues in their entire history have never won 13 games against any opponent. If Chelsea win on Tuesday it could be a new record for them in the Premier League.
  • Both of Crystal Palace’s last two wins came with them scoring 3 goals in each of those games. They last won 3 continuous games at Selhurst Park way back in October 2022. Palace have never also in their top-flight footballing history scored 3 goals in 3 continuous home games.
  • Chelsea have lost both of their last 2 games in the Premier League by conceding 4 goals. They have however never lost 3 consecutive games by conceding 4 since December 1989.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head record between these two sides is one of the most one-sided as it can get with the away team performing far better. In the last 22 games between these two sides in all competitions, Crystal Palace have won just 4 games, no games have ended in a draw with Chelsea winning a mammoth 18 games in total.

It is going to be a difficult evening for Palace, especially without their key players Olise and Eze. Palace lacks the cutting edge when those two are not available. Due to them attacking less, there is more pressure on their defence and hence they end up losing games. Their attackers will need to put more pressure on this Chelsea side if they want to end up getting something from this game.

For Chelsea, they needs to be consistent. We all know that they have the personnel in their squad to perform like they did against Aston Villa. However, they could also slump like their performance against Wolves. A win like they did against Villa should surely provide them with the confidence to go into the game at Selhurst Park as favourites.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Predictions and Betting Tips

According to the majority of the bookies, Chelsea goes in as favourites to win this game at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. Chelsea’s last performance in the FA Cup has significantly raised some eyebrows and has made them clear favourites going into this game. Palace with injuries to their key players make them massive underdogs going into this game. We do back the bookies in this game and could say that the odds projections perfectly reflect the state of the two clubs going into this.

Crystal Palace have not had the best of forms when it comes to playing at home this season. They have won just 27% of their games at Selhurst Park this season. They have scored just 1.27 goals from an expected goals ratio of 1.19. Chelsea have not had the best of forms when they play away themselves. The Blues have won 36% of their games away from home. They have a better scoring record than Palace averaging 1.64 goals from an expected goals ratio of 1.45.

Based on this we easily predict Chelsea to score 2 or more goals in this game. Palace have conceded 1.45 goals on average at home this season hence we see Chelsea amongst the goals. Palace have failed to score in 36% of their home games this season. Chelsea meanwhile has kept a clean sheet in just 18% of their away games. We predict that Crystal Palace will get a goal in this game. Chelsea’s defence is unpredictable and they have conceded at least a goal in 5 of their last 6 games.

In terms of scoring both Chelsea and Crystal Palace have had a poor record going into this game. Both have similar numbers but Chelsea slightly edge Crystal Palace out in this aspect. Chelsea have scored 1st in 9 of their 23 games. Crystal Palace have broken the deadlock in 7 of their 23 games.

We can see Chelsea opening the deadlock especially if they start the way they did in their last 2 games in all competitions. Both Chelsea and Palace also have an identical record when it comes to halftime form, especially in terms of winning and drawing. Both teams have however drawn 73% of their first halves this season hence we predict that the first half in this game should be level.

In terms of scoring for Palace, we back Odsonne Edouard to score in this game. Edouard has just returned from injury but should be set to start in this game. He is Crystal Palace’s joint top scorer with 6 goals to his name. He could also be on penalties in the absence of Eze and Olise. If Edouard does not start, we back Ayew as our 2nd option.

In terms of scoring, we once again have to back Cole Palmer in this game. Palmer continues to play central which makes him a more suitable option in this game. Nicolas Jackson has been playing a wider role. Palmer being on penalties is once again a big bonus. Cole Palmer goes in as the favourite to score in this game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Chelsea

We easily back the oddsmakers in this game and predict that Chelsea will easily overcome Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday under the lights. Palace go into this game having won both of their last 2 home games.

That however was with the likes of Olise and Eze who have been crucial to their results. Olise and Eze have both missed 6 games together for Palace this season. The Eagles have ended up winning just 1 of those 6 games, drawing 1 and losing 4. Eze and Olise are key to Palace’s success and their missing straight away makes Chelsea the favourites.

What makes Chelsea high favourites was their impressive display against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Chelsea was brilliant in possession of the ball and looked like a team with incisiveness. The contrast in form between the Wolves game and the Villa game was monumental.

Cole Palmer remains to be their difference maker and they now also look solid in midfield. Hence, we expect Chelsea to comfortably win this game also due to their brilliant record against Palace. Our prediction is a 3-1 Chelsea win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.
