The 2024/25 season is challenging for Crystal Palace as they certainly didn't expect to spend so much time in the relegation zone. However, after a good stretch of games in the last month and a half, Oliver Glasner's team propelled themself five points ahead of the drop zone. Crystal Palace lost only two of the last nine matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Glasner's team won 2-1 at home against Southampton. Fans probably expected more as the opponent was the worst team in the competition, but in the end, all three points stayed home.
After a few bad seasons, Chelsea returned among the top four teams in the Premier League. However, they are currently in the worst stretch of the season, as Enzo Maresca's team won only one point in the last three matches. In the last game in 2024, Chelsea shockingly lost 2-0 on the road against Ipswich. The guests finished the match with 76% ball possession and 11 shots on the goal more, but the home side's efficiency was enough to pull up a valuable victory.
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea pick: Under 3.5 goals
Crystal Palace scored only two goals in the last two matches. On the other hand, Chelsea scored only one goal in the previous three games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in the upcoming match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
