Chelsea is coming into this match with a recent trend to the over in their Premier League matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 league matches. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches there in the Premier League. Their attack has also been much stronger there as they have scored 9 goals in their last 3 league matches at home, but their defense has not been great as they have also allowed 6 goals in that span. They are going up against a Crystal Palace side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and they have scored 4 goals in that span while allowing 5 goals. Crystal Palace has been playing much better in their last 2 matches as they have drawn both, including a 2-2 draw with Man City in a much they came back in, and they are going to have some confidence here now that they have some key pieces to their lineup in Eze and Olise back healthy for this match. Crystal Palace does not have a win in their last 7 matches but they have been playing much better and will be pushing for the win here with Chelsea falling out of form again, but Crystal Palace has also been conceding a lot of goals recently and this Chelsea attack has been very potent at home recently. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
