We say Chelsea to win 3-1 

Chelsea enter this match with very high morale and confidence after winning their last seven games. After the Club World Cup success, the Blues had two friendlies against AC Milan and Leverkusen and won them both.

Since 2017, Chelsea have gone undefeated against Palace (W14, D2). Last season, both home and away matches ended in 1-1 draws.

Prediction: Both teams to score yes

For our second prediction, we anticipate that both teams will score in this game. Given that five of the previous six meetings between these two teams ended with goals scored by both teams, it’s safe to say that Chelsea and Palace are both capable of producing a memorable performance.

Match Preview: Chelsea vs Crystal Palace

Even though they may still be recovering from a hectic summer that saw them win the CWC in the US, Chelsea will be looking to win the Premier League for the first time since 2016/17. Chelsea’s 2024/25 ended just as others began their pre-season preparations, and Enzo Maresca’s Blues have had few chances to rest after finishing fourth and winning the UEFA Conference League last season.

After Palace won just one of their first 13 league games in 2024/25, Oliver Glasner led the Eagles to their first trophy win in 119 years with a 1-0 FA Cup final win over Manchester City. Off-field issues cost Palace a Europa League spot, but they beat Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield, the perfect warm-up as they try to improve on a run of three losses in their last four season-opening Premier League games.
