2025's first weekend of EPL action is nearly upon us. From the several fixtures taking place on Saturday, the one between Crystal Palace and Chelsea is quite eye-catching from a betting point of view. The visitors went into the busy Christmas period as title challengers, but after a couple of disappointing results, they now find themselves no less than 10 points behind the league leaders, so it's time to improve for Enzo Maresca's men. For the hosts, there was improvement last time out, with the Eagles winning on home soil. Can Oliver Glasner's men now build on that and put together a pleasing run? We'll find out at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace - Chelsea Key Points

  1. The hosts have scored two or more goals in two of their last three home EPL games.
  2. The visitors come into this game having conceded two or more goals in each of their last two fixtures.
  3. The hosts have scored goals against big teams this season, scoring two or more against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Man City.
  4. The Blues have kept just one clean sheet in their last five away games (in all competitions).

Our Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction

At the end of the day, this isn't going to be easy for the Eagles, and just because they've suffered a couple of damaging defeats, we shouldn't simply assume that the visitors will continue to struggle. However, given the odds, betting on the hosts to score a couple of goals is tough to resist. Let's face it, we know that this Palace team can be a threat on the break in this sort of game, while with players like Eze and Mateta, they've got the tools to do serious damage, as the likes of Villa, Arsenal and Man City have found out this season. Factor in the current defensive form of the Blues and odds of +155 become worth taking. Our Pick: Crystal Palace to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
