LiontipsCrystal Palace vs Chelsea. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 1, 2022).
Command Analysis
Crystal Palace had a good 2021-2022 season. The team enjoyed an amazing performance in the FA Cup and reached the semifinals of that competition, where the Glaziers lost to Chelsea. Patrick Vieira's side finished in 12th place in the Premier League, which is a decent result for the team.
In the summer, the club signed Abdoulaye Doucouré from Lens (22.6 million) and Chris Richards from Bayern (12 mln). In the new edition of the Premier League, Palace recorded one victory and three draws and currently occupy the 16th line in the table. In the last two rounds, the team drew against Brentford (1:1) and Newcastle (0:0).
Butland, Tomkins, McArthur, and Ferguson are all sidelined through injuries.
Last season, Chelsea surrendered the title of the European champions as they lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The team reached the finals of both the League Cup and the FA Cup, but in both finals, the Blues lost to Liverpool on penalties. In the Premier League, Chelsea finished in 3rd place. These results and a slow start to the season cost Thomas Tuchel his position as head coach.
Graham Potter became the new manager for the Blues and it is up to him to put Chelsea back on the winning. The team only picked up one point in the first two Champions League games and is currently 7th in the domestic league. The attacking line has been particularly disappointing - the Blues scored only eight goals in six Premier League games. In the last round, they beat West Ham (2:1).
Mendyand Kante are out injured and won't be able to help their team against the Glaziers.

Tip and bets
Graham Potter has a chance to end his personal losing streak against Crystal Palace - the manager has never defeated the Glaziers in his career. Chelsea have a better team on paper and shoud win confidently.
Our prediction — Chelsea to win
The Blues have a very powerful line-up and in theory they should have no problems against Palace on Saturday. Vieira's side has a terrible losing streak against Chelsea, and even though the hosts will put up a fight, we doubt they will be able to overcome the West Londoners.
Second bet — Chelsea to win by 2 goals
