Prediction published on 8/17/25, 5:56 AM by Carlos Zabala in Premier League Picks

Two teams with significant successes in the last season face off at Stamford Bridge: Chelsea, the Conference League and Club World Cup champions, defeated PSG, and Crystal Palace, the reigning FA Cup holders and Community Shield winners, defeated Liverpool on penalties.

Betting sites published odds suggesting clear favoritism for the Blues to beat Crystal Palace on Sunday for the start of the 2025/2026 Premier League. Marezca's team embarked on a shortened preseason of just two matches, due to the Club World Cup final having been played as recently as July 13. But in those warm-up matches, they once again looked good, pressing high, and were able to beat Leverkusen 2-0 and AC Milan 4-1 in London. In that match, the team's new signing, Liam Delap, from Ipswich Town, scored a brace in his first major performance with the London side.

Meanwhile, the ever-opportune Senegalese Ismaila Sarr scored the equalizer at Wembley against Liverpool, forcing a penalty shootout, where Henderson excelled to snatch another title from the Reds.

Our Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Prediction

It seems unlikely that Chelsea will lose in their debut; they did so last season against Manchester City on Matchday 1, but they haven't lost back-to-back Premier League matches on the opening day in two years for over 20 years. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have almost always managed to finish mid-table in the English league, but their FA Cup triumph meant they were unable to compete in the Europa League due to a legal issue. That's why they'll have to play two Confederations Cup qualifying matches after their Premier League debut. Our prediction for Chelsea vs Crystal Palace is: Under 2.5 goals.
