Crystal Palace vs Chelsea predictions
As you might expect, Chelsea are seen as heavy favourites here. In fact, betting on the Blues would only see you given odds of 13/20, which isn’t overly appealing, so we’ll look elsewhere for our first Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction.
This time, we’ve decided that the best value comes in the first goalscorer market. There are various Chelsea faces in the running, including Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech, while the most fancied Palace player, according to bookies, is Odsonne Edouard. However, we’re ignoring them, because bet365 have given a fantastic bet boost to one Chelsea player.
We’re going to be betting on Romelu Lukaku to score the first goal in this match. We know he hasn’t had the best time at Chelsea recently, but he looked decent in the Club World Cup, scoring twice as Chelsea won the competition. We simply can’t ignore the odds of 11/2 being given by bet365 on the Belgian scoring first.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea betting tips
If you’re looking for a different Crystal Palace vs Chelsea betting tip, we’ve got one below, which should appeal to more conservative gamblers.
This time, we’re going to look at the BTTS market, which always gives a decent chance of winning. We’ll start by saying that we expect Chelsea to score at least one, and probably more, so they don’t need much thinking about.
Instead, we need to consider whether Palace will manage to get on the scoresheet against a team that’s only conceded 18 goals in the league this season. Palace haven’t been firing recently either, which only decreases their chances of scoring further.
After looking at Palace’s recent form and assessing the strength of their attack, we think that the likelihood is that they won’t score. So, we’ll be choosing to say both teams won’t score in this match-up, which gets us rather decent odds of 19/20 over at bet365.
