H2H

Chelsea have a 38-12 advantage against Crystal Palace, alongside 18 draws.

Crystal Palace Rarely Keep Clean Sheets

Crystal Palace’s recent form has tailed off following a 10-match winless run. Palace have conceded 18 goals during that streak.

Oliver Glasner’s side have lost three of their last four games. A 2-0 defeat at Newcastle came before a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa and a 2-1 loss against Macclesfield.

The Eagles’ downturn in form continued with a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland. Yeremy Pino opened the scoring and Palace allowed 1.71 and conceded in each half.

Chelsea See a Lot of Away High Scorers

Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League and just two points off the top four. Liam Rosenior’s side are winless in five consecutive league away games, conceding eight and scoring five.

The Blues’ recent form has improved following three wins in four fixtures. Victories against Charlton 5-1 and Brentford 2-0 came either side of a 3-2 EFL Cup loss to Arsenal.

The West London side also beat Pafos 1-0 at home in the Champions League last time out. Chelsea dominated with 1.85-0.14 XG and Moises Caicedo scored a 78th-minute winner.
