Chelsea - Crystal Palace betting tips and odds

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Chelsea and the 5.40 odds given to Crystal Palace to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

The Blues losing their previous Premier League appearance went against most betting odds and predictions – though they weren’t exactly hard favourites, either. Still, they were given a good shot to score an away win, but instead ended up losing 2:1 after spending almost the entire match playing from behind.

Not even the most ardent of The Eagles supporters had much hope that the squad will manage to win in the previous round, with bookies pricing that outcome at 2.20. The tie score at halftime and the home-field advantage gave them some hope at first, but they ended up recording a 0:4 defeat by the end.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Crystal Palace lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Chelsea played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

With Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Christian Pulišić, Armando Broja, Raheem Sterling all out of the picture, The Blues’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.88.
