Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction (04.01.2025)

Crystal Palace shows some improvement and has moved away from the relegation zone. They have lost only once in the last eight rounds, although heavily with 1:5 at home against Arsenal. They now face a quite uncomfortable opponent, against whom they have not won in 15 consecutive matches. They even had 14 consecutive losses against Chelsea, but earlier in the season they stopped that with a 1:1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

After a strong period and a series of victories, Chelsea suddenly stopped their ascent. The dreams of the title ended after three consecutive setbacks, all against teams that seemed beatable. The most surprising and recent setback was the away game against the newcomer Ipswich, lost 0:2. This was the second consecutive visit for Chelsea without scoring a goal in the Premier League, and in the last three consecutive away games in the championship, they did not score in 2019 under the guidance of another Italian coach - Maurizio Sarri.

Crystal Palace faces an uncomfortable opponent, but earlier they took a point as a guest from them. Now they have stabilized a bit, while the guests are on a decline and I think it is possible for Chelsea to also stumble here.
