Crystal Palace take on Chelsea looking to halt a troubling run, but given their negative record against the Blues, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Eagles have struggled for form of late, securing just 0.40 points per game overall and failing to win any of their last five matches. At Selhurst Park, Palace’s home form remains underwhelming, with 0.60 PPG, and they concede 1.40 goals per home match. Their 60% BTTS rate indicates frequent defensive lapses, while expected goals (xG) sits at 1.26, highlighting their attacking inefficiency. Pacey winger Ismaila Sarr returns from international duty but is unlikely to start.
Chelsea have been in a better form, earning 1.50 points per game overall, with solid away numbers (1.60 PPG) and an average of 2.40 goals scored per away match. Both Cole Palmer and Estevao are expected to return, while Tosin Aderabioyo should be fit. Historically, Chelsea dominate this fixture, winning 19 of the last 26 encounters with over 2.5 goals scored in 58% of meetings.
This matchup favors Chelsea’s experience and attacking depth, with Palace vulnerable at the back. As Chelsea are leading the H2H record, Away Win should be considered, alongside Over 1.5 (73% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (58%).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 25 January 2026 at 14:00.
