Match prediction for Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

The teams Crystal Palace and Chelsea will face off at Selhurst Park in a match for the 23rd round of the Premier League. In the last encounter between these teams in this competition, on August 17, 2025, the result was a draw (0-0). At this stadium, the head-to-head record is favorable to the visiting team, with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches. However, the last time they met at this stadium was on January 4, 2025, in a Premier League match that ended in a draw (1-1). The goals in that match were scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta (82′) for Crystal Palace and Cole Palmer (14′) for Chelsea. In this match, the home factor might play an important role, as Crystal Palace has shown significant differences in results at home compared to away.

Crystal Palace Analysis

After 7 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses, the home team is in 13th place with 28 points. In their last match, they lost 2-1 to Sunderland away, after previously drawing at home with Aston Villa (0-0). Interestingly, this team has been stronger away than at home, registering 7 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches; compared to 3 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses at home. In the league, Crystal Palace has secured 11 points out of 30 possible, with 2 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they have not won at home in 6 matches. In their home games, the most frequent scoreline at halftime has been 1-0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, having conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Their home games tend to have fewer goals, as 7 of their last 11 matches in the league ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. In 22 matches in this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never managed to come back to win.

Crystal Palace comes into this match off a loss, 2-1, during their visit to Sunderland, marking their seventh consecutive match without a victory in the Premier League: the only goal for the team was scored by Yéremy Pino. The home team typically plays in a 3-4-3 tactical system, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the flanks. In this formation, the three furthest forward are Jean-Philippe Mateta, Brennan Johnson, and Yéremy Pino. It’s worth noting that when they push forward, they prefer to channel their attacks down the left side, leveraging the depth provided by full-back Tyrick Mitchell. Missing from this match are Daichi Kamada, Rio Cardines, Cheick Doucouré, Caleb Kporha, and Daniel Muñoz, all due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: Dean Henderson, Maxence Lacroix, Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Will Hughes, Justin Devenny, Adam Wharton, Jefferson Lerma, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Brennan Johnson, Yéremy Pino.
Coach: O. Glasner.

Chelsea Analysis

After 9 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses, the visiting team sits in 6th place with 34 points. In their last match, they won against Brentford at home (2-0), after previously losing to Fulham away (2-1). This team is less affected by the home factor, showing similar results at home and away; they have recorded 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, scoring a total of 29 goals and conceding 20. At home, they have achieved 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 29 goals and conceding 15. In their last match for the UEFA Champions League, they won against Pafos FC at home (1-0). In the last 10 away league matches, Chelsea has registered 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, earning 13 points out of 30 possible. The team has allowed goals to opponents in 7 of their last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been scoring regularly, having found the net in 9 of their last 10 matches in this competition. In 22 matches in this competition, they have only managed to come back and win once in the 8 matches in which they conceded the first goal.

Chelsea heads into this encounter with a victory, 1-0, over Pafos in the Champions League. In their last Premier League match, the visitors won against Brentford 2-0. Guided by coach Liam Rosenior, the Londoners are expected to maintain their usual 4-3-3 formation, with João Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho, and Pedro Neto forming the attacking trio. The build-up for offensive plays tends to favor the right flank, where full-back Reece James adds depth and dynamism to the attack. Missing from this match are Levi Colwill and Roméo Lavia, both due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: Robert Sánchez, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Josh Acheampong, Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer, Moisés Caicedo, João Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho, Pedro Neto.
Coach: E. Maresca.
