LiontipsChelsea vs Crystal Palace. Prediction (odds 2.25) and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Taking into account the Conference League qualifying matches, Chelsea have already played four official matches and there is no stability or logic in the results. They lost to Manchester City without a chance. They won away against Servette, but lost before and advanced to the final part of the European Cup. Between two matches on the international stage, they had a bright match away against Wolverhampton, where they achieved a crushing victory 6:2. What to expect from the "aristocrats" in the next game and what bets to choose? - it is very difficult to predict.
It is obvious that the squad, or rather the core, on whom Maresca will rely throughout the season, has not yet been determined. So far, it has been possible to more or less "clean" the squad, getting rid of players who are currently unnecessary for the coach. It should be noted that the issue with Lukaku has been resolved, Kepa has gone on loan to Betis, Anjorin has been sold to Empoli. The other day, information appeared that they managed to formalize a deal with Manchester United for Sancho.
In the tournament table, Chelsea is in 12th place after two matches played. A victory today will allow them to get closer to the top 5. The opponent is very suitable for gaining three points - in 14 previous face-to-face matches they managed to beat their fellow countrymen from Crystal Palace.
Disqualifications and injuries
James and Lavia are out with injuries, while Sterling and Chilwell are suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have lost only once in their previous four matches due to fouls
- Chelsea have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight Premier League games
- In four of the last five games of the "aristocrats" in the Premier League, the bet was on both teams to score
Probable line-up : Sanchez - Gusto, Fofana, Colville, Cucurella - Caicedo, Fernandez - Madueque, Palmer, Neto - Jackson.
Current form
Crystal Palace delighted their fans at the end of last season, winning six of their final seven games. However, we are far from the same team we had just a few months ago. In their first two league games, the Glaziers lost to Brentford (1:2) and West Ham (0:2). They are not doing much in attack, and it is no coincidence that they signed Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal for £25 million at the very end of the transfer window.
Despite the failures in the championship, Oliver Glasner's charges left no chance for Norwich in the League Cup (4:0). Perhaps this success will give confidence to the players, who will try to please their coach, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday.
It should be noted that there are clearly still some problems with the centre of defence at https://www.cpfc.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal Palace . Anderson has left, and Chadi Riyad was injured in the League Cup. On the eve of a match against an inconvenient opponent, such problems are a cause for concern.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Fransa and Riyad will not be able to help their team today.

- Crystal Palace have not scored more than one goal in their last seven Premier League encounters at Stamford Bridge
- Crystal Palace players have not received more than two yellow cards in six of their last eight away Premier League games

1.68Tip and bets
Chelsea is not particularly stable, but overall the team has huge potential, which Wolverhampton has already felt. Crystal Palace had a hard time entering the season, and they are not even close to being the same as they were at the end of the last championship. In addition, it is impossible to pass when choosing the bet on the total advantage of the "aristocrats" in personal meetings. Perhaps not without problems, but the hosts will score three points today.
Our prediction is Chelsea to win at odds of 1.62
Bet on total
Both teams are experiencing problems in defense and it is unlikely that we should expect a goal drought today. Moreover, the last derby saw a 3:1 victory for Chelsea. We do not rule out a scenario in which one goal will open the game.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 2.25
Bet on corners
Chelsea have won six of their last eight games on corners. It's clear that the "aristocrats" will spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal today and confirm their statistics on corners.
Prediction: Chelsea win on corners with a handicap of (-1.5) with odds of 1.60
