Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction with expert betting tips and latest odds as the London rivals clash in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace must try to put aside their growing on and off-field issues if they are to end their winless run against Chelsea.

Palace have now gone 10 matches since last tasting victory, and among their seven defeats are a Carabao Cup quarter-final exit and a humiliating FA Cup loss to sixth-tier Macclesfield.

If that was not enough, they have also seen captain Marc Guehi sold, key striker Jean-Philippe Mateta signal his desire to leave, and FA Cup-winning coach Oliver Glasner announce he will be departing in the summer, while also firing a shot at the club’s owners.

It is testing times for the Eagles after a historic 2025, but our opening Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction is for the spoils to be shared @ 13/5.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview

A run of three straight draws in this fixture suggests another tight affair could be on the cards at Selhurst Park , particularly given Crystal Palace’s current struggles.

Chelsea arrive with renewed confidence under Liam Rosenior, but local derbies have often proved unpredictable for the Blues in recent seasons.

Palace held high-flying Aston Villa to a goalless draw in their last match at Selhurst Park, but that is a rare positive result over the last four weeks.

Since that match, they have been on the receiving end of arguably the biggest FA Cup upset in history and also saw Sunderland fight back for a 2-1 win last Saturday.

That left Crystal Palace 13th in the Premier League on 28 points and no doubt hugely thankful the bottom three are so far adrift.

The last three meetings have all resulted in draws, and, looking at the Crystal Palace vs Chelsea odds, that’s the way we think it will go again, with BTTS @ 7/2.

Chelsea made it three victories in four games under Liam Rosenior in midweek but needed a late Moises Caicedo winner to see off Champions League minnows Pafos.

With the Blues now on the verge of a spot in the last 16 in Europe, they will turn their attention back to the Premier League top-four battle.

Rosenior , whose opening six domestic matches as Chelsea boss are all London derbies, rested star striker Cole Palmer against Pafos due to a minor thigh issue, but he should be available for the trip south of the Thames.

The England forward has only scored five times in an injury-hit campaign but is 13/8 to net this weekend.
