Football Predictions
Last weekend, Crystal Palace faced a challenging defeat of 4-1 against Brighton, with fans expressing dissatisfaction towards manager Roy Hodgson and the decision-making at the club. The loss was compounded by the injury of star winger Michael Olise, sidelining him after he played during the defeat. This comes as Palace enters a match against Chelsea, having lost three of their last four games, while Chelsea comes off a significant win.
Chelsea, under Mauricio Pochettino, found relief with a 3-1 FA Cup replay win against Aston Villa, a positive shift amidst pressure from recent losses. Despite the victory, Chelsea’s defense has been porous, failing to secure a clean sheet in their last 10 away matches and conceding eight goals in the last two league games.
The upcoming match at Selhurst Park is anticipated to be high-scoring, given both teams’ defensive struggles. Crystal Palace and Chelsea have a combined total of 79 goals conceded in 23 games. The trend suggests a likely scenario where both teams score, especially with Palace’s recent home game statistics and Chelsea’s offensive capabilities.
Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea, with goals in his last two league appearances and a notable scoring record, is highlighted as a key player to watch against Palace’s vulnerable defense.
