Chelsea vs Crystal Palace: Premier League Prediction Match Details
The third round of the English Premier League actions will see Chelsea face Crystal Palace in their second home game of the season at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London on Sunday afternoon. Both teams are seeking early-season dominance
Chelsea Preview & Form
West Ham United had a slow start to their new Premier League campaign as they were defeated 2-0 in the opening Premier League match against defending champions Manchester City at the Blues home stadium. However, Enzo Maresca’s side bounced back with a 2-0 win over Servette at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the Europa Conference League qualification round. The Blues in the second round fixture showed their stunning performances as they defeated the Wolves 6-2 away from their stadium, with Noni Madueke scoring a hatrick in the match. However, in the second leg of the Europa Conference League qualification, Chelsea suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat to Servette.
However, Maresca will be hoping his side bounces back and secures their first Premier League home win in front of their supporting fans. Chelsea’s home form towards the end of last season was exceptional, as they were unbeaten in their last seven home games, recording six wins and one draw.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace have endured a poor start under Oliver Glasner in the new season following his success at the club last season by finishing unbeaten in his last seven games. Palace began their opening Premier League encounter with a 2-1 London derby defeat against Brentford away from their stadium. They continued their poor form against West Ham United last weekend, with the game ending 2-0. However, they were able to bounce back during their midweek Carabao Cup as Palace defeated Norwich 4-0 in the game, and this should boost their confidence in their pursuit of their first win of the season.
Under Oliver Glasner last season, Palace was unbeaten in their last five away games, with four wins and one draw. Glasner will hope his side can continue this form in the new season.
