Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting tips
This Saturday there at Stamford Bridge a nice London derby on the program: namely leader Chelsea receives Crystal Palace.
Chelsea :
It rains rumors about Chelsea. Antonio Conte has now of course an excellent selection at his disposal, but next year should recover somewhat. Chelsea then in fact plays its matches in the Champions League and it is therefore more than requested by the selection. Wednesday came out to Conte Alexis Sanchez Arsenal high on his priority list, and it is – given the recent performance of Arsenal – may well Sánchez sympathetic to the departure to Chelsea.
Chelsea had to do it two weeks ago without Eden Hazard, but that proved no problem for the team of Antonio Conte. Although, Chelsea managed only 87 minutes of the match to the winning goal. Despite dominating Chelsea deserved the full game and the victory. This was partly thanks to Diego Costa, physically often had to give Martins Indi and Ryan Shawcross, but the two defenders have kept constantly busy and created space for his teammates.
Probable lineup Chelsea
Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Fabregas, Kanté, Alonso, Pedro Costa, Hazard
Crystal Palace :
Sam Allardyce seems to be the cops again: save a relegation candidate for relegation. The Eagles have won three games in a row and that seems to be related to the arrival of defender Mamadou Sakho. Since it is primarily Palace has earned his pots in the heart of the defense. This has ensured that they have climbed to the sixteenth place and four points and have a game credit to the competitors.
Two weeks ago Crystal Palace scored his third victory in a row. In-house was won 1-0 to Watford, while Palace did not solve a single shot on goal. This Palace is only the fourth team since the 2003/2004 season which knows how to win a game without shooting at goal. The only goal was scored by Troy Deeney who outwitted his own goalkeeper. Palace arrested at this time especially points thanks to a strong defense, which also held against Watford convincing position.
Three wins in a row is very handsome, but a good offense starts with a good defense. We have of course seen what it can do defensive uncertainty to a team in the Dutch national team. Sam Allardyce is a coach who really bet on that defensive security, and that Palace so all delivered at this time. Whether it is sufficient to Chelsea, remains to be seen.
Probable lineup Crystal Palace
Hennessey, Ward, Tomkins, Sakho, Schlupp, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Zaha, Puncheon, Townsend, Benteke
