Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Crystal Palace have scored in six of their last seven games while Chelsea have scored in twelve of their last thirteen games. Hence we expect both teams to score at odds of 2.00 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Romelu Lukaku scored the match winner for Chelsea in the semis and the finals of the Club World Cup. With him back in form, betting on him to score at odds of 2.87 (betway) is a safe bet.
We expect a high scoring match with both teams having a stronger attack and a weaker defence, therefore betting on more than 2.5 goals being scored at odds of 2.00 (bet365) is another safe bet.
Quick Rich
Timo Werner was rested throughout the Club World Cup and is expected to start in attack, therefore betting on him to take over 5 shots at odds of 3.25 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Chelsea are favourites to win the game and we predict the final scoreline to be 2-1 at odds of 9.50 (bet365) or 3-1 at odds of 15.00 (bet365).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea will be high on morale after winning another trophy and have much better quality and squad depth than Crystal Palace. Betting on Chelsea to win at odds of 1.66 (betway) is another safe bet.
Bet During the Match
If Ziyech starts the match in attack betting on him to have over 2 shots on target at odds of 2.62 (betway) is a safe bet.
