Chelsea - Crystal Palace match score prediction: Stamford Bridge power

(NLDO) - Stamford Bridge witnessed a fierce competition when Chelsea and Crystal Palace faced each other in the London derby at 8:00 p.m. today, August 17.

Chelsea performed brilliantly to win the Club World Cup last month and with good performances in two consecutive friendly wins against Bayer Leverkusen (2-0) and AC Milan (4-1), 3 points in the opening match of the new season is worth considering.

Good start and new recruit integrates quickly with Chelsea

It should be noted that names like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Darrio Essugo, Estevao, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez joined the Stamford Bridge team in the summer transfer window. And the interesting thing is that they all integrated quickly and showed their roles. That factor gives Chelsea a formidable strength and is difficult to predict.

On the other side, the Eagles are full of confidence after their Community Shield win over Liverpool. However, Palace have lost eight of their previous nine meetings with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is perhaps the main reason why pundits are putting their faith in Enzo Maresca's side. Eddie Nketiah, Cheick Doucoure and Matheus Franca are all sidelined through injury, while Japan international Daichi Kamada is unlikely to feature for the visitors.

Prediction: Chelsea - Crystal Palace 3-1

Chelsea used to beat Crystal Palace often, but the two times they met last season, the score was 1-1. That's why many people quickly bet on the underdog when the market listed Chelsea's handicap at 1 goal, for choice. As of this morning, Chelsea's price is increasing, showing that the market is slightly leaning towards the underdog. Choosing the home team is more fun because Chelsea is used to winning at Stamford Bridge.

The most popular score is still 2-1 with a 1 to 8 bet, while the score of 1-1 is also priced at 8.3 (because the last 2 meetings have had this score). Gamblers predict the score will lean towards a home win when 1-0 and 2-0 both have 1 to 9.2 bets, while 3-0 and 3-1 are both priced at 12. People also predict that the match will have 81 goals, so the score of 0-0 is unsold with a 1 to 18 bet, while 2-2 is only priced at 15.
