Crystal Palace

The Londoners ended last year with a home victory over Southampton (2-1). Before that, the team drew away with Bournemouth (0-0). It is also worth noting that the club has lost only once in their last eight league matches (3 wins and 4 draws). Thanks to these results, Oliver Glasner's side has climbed to 15th place, but the gap from the relegation zone is only five points.


  • Both teams scored in 6 of Crystal Palace's last 8 Premier League games.
  • The club has won only once in the first half in their last 10 home Premier League matches (5 draws and 4 losses).
  • No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of the last 8 home matches in the league.

Chelsea

Enzo Moresca's side ended the past calendar year poorly. First, the club drew with Everton (0-0), then lost to Fulham (1-2) and Ipswich (0-2). This is the first such winless streak in the Premier League since September 2023. It is also worth noting that in the last three Premier League matches, the Londoners have scored only one goal. As a result, Chelsea has dropped to 4th place and holds only a 3-point advantage over the nearest rival outside the Champions League zone.


Forward Mykhailo Mudryk continues to serve a suspension due to a failed doping test.


  • No more than three goals have been scored in 11 of Chelsea's last 13 Premier League games.
  • The number "1" appeared in the final score in 9 of Chelsea's last 13 league matches.
  • The club has suffered only one second-half defeat in their last 13 away Premier League matches (7 wins and 5 draws).

Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction

In the first round, the neighbors drew at Stamford Bridge (1-1). However, before that, Chelsea had a 13-match winning streak in league encounters against Crystal Palace. After a poor end to December, Enzo Moresca's side needs a victory to regain confidence and return to the Premier League title race, despite a significant gap from Liverpool.


Crystal Palace is not as strong at home. In their last 10 home Premier League matches, the team has only defeated Southampton and Tottenham. Meanwhile, Chelsea performs better away than at home, having the second-best away record among all league clubs. In their last 12 away Premier League matches, the team has won 8 times, losing only twice. Therefore, considering all the above, I favor the visitors in the London derby. My prediction: Victory for Chelsea
