Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction (25.01.2026)

For seven consecutive rounds, Crystal Palace has not won, and excluding Burnley, this is the team with the second-longest current winless streak in the Premier League. At the same time, they have gone ten consecutive matches across all competitions without success. Oliver Glasner announced that he is leaving the club at the end of the season. Marc Guéhi has already done so, and the other star Mateta will likely follow suit, so the situation for the team definitely remains poor.

Chelsea went five rounds without a win, but with their new coach Liam Rosenior, they won at home 2-0 against Brentford in the last round. They also defeated Paphos 1-0 during the week, and it seems Rosenior has started to emphasize improvement in defense, as Chelsea has conceded quite a few goals lately, and their last six away matches in all competitions ended with goals/goals.

The situation at Palace is clearly not good, while there is optimism and signs of improvement at Chelsea following the coaching change. There seems to be improvement in defense for the guests as well. Palace has had only one home match this season in the league with more than 3 goals, so under 3.5 is my first prediction for the match.
