Crystal Palace are heading into this match in poor form. They have lost two of their last five games and drawn the other two, with only one win in that run. Their recent matches have also been quite high-scoring, with four of their last five games seeing three or more goals. Chelsea, on the other hand, are in even worse shape. They have lost four of their last five matches, with just one draw and no wins. Their away form has been especially shaky, and their most recent games have also tended to involve a few goals.

Looking at the history between these two sides, goals have been common. In their last five meetings, four have seen three or more goals, including two wins for Crystal Palace (one at home and one away) and three draws. This suggests the match is likely to be an open, competitive game where both teams can score. Given Chelsea's current struggles and Palace's slightly better recent record at home, Crystal Palace look the more likely side to come away with a win here. A draw is also possible, but a Palace victory is the most probable outcome.
