Match review, odds Chelsea vs Crystal Palace in round 19 of the Premier League taking place at 02:30 on December 28.
Prediction of the match between Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
In the 19th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will face Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. The match is expected to be a hard-fought victory for the home team, as they have more advantages than the away team.
Chelsea are showing a lack of consistency in their playing style, defeating Tottenham, Brighton, drawing with Man City but losing bitterly to Everton, MU and most recently Wolves. They can play very well in big matches but are lackluster when facing opponents of equal or weaker level. A ticket to next season's Champions League is gradually out of reach for The Blues.
In this match, coach Pochettino and his team will return to their home field to welcome Crystal Palace. This is a good opportunity for Chelsea to regain the feeling of victory. This is relatively feasible when their opponent is in a period of crisis in form and in the previous 5 encounters, Chelsea won all.
On the other side of the field, Crystal Palace is also going through extremely difficult days, when in the last 7 consecutive matches they have not known what victory is. The defensive and counter-attacking style of play that any team must be wary of is no longer there, but instead is a disjointed and easily defeated team.
Draws against Brighton and defending champions Man City could give Crystal Palace some confidence heading into their trip to Stamford Bridge. However, it will be difficult for them to cause a surprise against Chelsea at this point, a draw would be a huge success for Roy Hodgson's team, let alone a win.
