Crrystal Palace is coming into this match not playing in the best form in their recent matches. They only have 1 loss in their last 6 matches but they have only won 2 matches in that span. When playing at home, they have lost 2 of their last 3 matches with 1 win in that span and their win came the last time they were at home. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight matches and in 4 of their last 5 but they had gone over 2.5 goals in 5 straight matches prior to those. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches and in 7 of their last 10. They have scored 32 goals in 24 matches this year and they have allowed 35 goals, averaging over 1 goal per match for both. When playing at home, they have scored 21 goals in 12 matches averaging close to 2 goals scored per match but have allowed 15 goals in those 12 matches averaging just over 1 goal per match at home this year.

 

Chelsea is coming into this match in much better form than Crystal palace has been in and Chelsea have a lot more talent at every position. They have won 4 straight matches and are coming off of a win in the Club World Cup, now being the Champions of the entire world after winning the Champions League last year. Crystal Palace have not been playing well recently but they are at home here where they have been better this year and Chelsea has a Champions League match coming up this week so they may not have their best lineup out and may not even give their best effort in this match. Chelsea have also been struggling in away matches recently as well, they have not been losing matches but they have drawn more over their last 7 matches than they have won. Considering the circumstance, Crystal Palace will give a very good effort at home here knowing that they may not be getting the best Chelsea team as they rest for their midweek Champions League match. Crystal Palace is not good enough to run over Chelsea's great defense here but they could keep their attack at bay here and come away with a draw.
