Crystal Palace – Chelsea : Preview & Prediction
Crystal Palace, 12th overall, is with 38 points very close to confirming its retention in the elite of English football. Hodgson’s roster is 12 lengths ahead of the relegation zone and is not in danger in the standings. Zaha’s partners (9 goals) have taken only 6 points out of 15 at stake in the last 5 days but remain on 2 good results against West Bromwich Albion (1-0) and Everton (1-1) on April 5 . Crystal Palace, which has only won once in its last 4 receptions, will have to be at 200% to beat a Chelsea team which remains on 2 wins (1-0 and 3-2) in its last 2 visits at Selhurst Park. The Blues, who lost their place in the Big Four, are down to 5th place 1 unit from West Ham, 4th and must win this weekend to put pressure on the Hammers. The Blues reacted well after their defeat at home against WBA (2-5) on the last day of the Premier League by taking a big step towards the 1/2 finals of the Champions League after a success in Seville against Porto ( 2-0) in the quarter-final first leg this Wednesday. This is the third victory for the Tuchel players in their last 4 outings. The London club, at ease far from Stamford Bridge, has been undefeated away from home for 8 games (6 wins and 2 draws), in all competitions and arrives at Crystal Palace with full confidence.
