Chelsea enters the new season with great form. They won the Club World Cup after beating PSG 3-0 in the final against all expectations. They were absolutely dominant in that match and more than deservedly won the trophy. After that, they played two more friendly games, against Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, in which they recorded victories. After a turbulent last season, Chelsea are showing serious signs of recovery. With the arrival of Maresca on the bench, their game improved significantly. There is no doubt that Cole Palmer is the main player of this team, but unlike a good part of the previous season when he was expected to do everything by himself, it is evident that this season will be different. Chelsea have done a good job in the transfer window and they can really put themselves in line for the top flight. The team included Hato, Estevao, Gittens and Joao Pedro, who confirmed his quality at the Club World Cup, as well as with 2 goals in friendly matches. The midfield with Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo and Pedro Neto seems really good and there is no doubt that it will be interesting to watch Chelsea games this season.On the other hand, Crystal Palace fans certainly have reason to be happy over the past few months. After many years without a trophy, they won the FA Cup and the Community Shield, which will certainly boost their confidence before the new season. Since the arrival of Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace has been playing football based on fast counter-attacks, which has brought them success in the aforementioned two finals. It has been known for a long time that they are a team that does not concede a large number of goals, and with the new way of playing in the offensive, Crystal Palace will certainly pose a problem for the big clubs in the league this season as well. I believe that we will not see Chelsea dominating this match, but due to the current form of the entire team, as well as the form of individuals, first of all Palmer and Joao Pedro, I have to give the advantage to Chelsea in this match and I think they will open the new season with a victory.

切尔西以良好的状态进入新赛季。他们在决赛中出乎意料地以3比0击败巴黎圣日耳曼，赢得了世俱杯冠军。他们在那场比赛中绝对占据统治地位，理所当然地赢得了奖杯。在那之后，他们又打了两场友谊赛，分别对阵米兰和勒沃库森，他们都取得了胜利。在经历了上个赛季的动荡之后，切尔西正在显示出严重的复苏迹象。随着马雷斯卡的到来，他们的比赛有了明显的改善。毫无疑问，科尔·帕尔默是这支球队的主力球员，但与上个赛季的大部分时间不同，他被期望独自完成一切，很明显，这个赛季将会有所不同。切尔西在转会窗口做得很好，他们真的可以进入顶级联赛。这支球队包括哈托、埃斯特沃、吉滕斯和若昂·佩德罗，后者在世俱杯上证明了自己的实力，并在友谊赛中打进2球。由恩佐·费尔南德斯、卡伊塞多和佩德罗·内托组成的中场看起来真的很好，毫无疑问，观看切尔西本赛季的比赛将会很有趣。另一方面，水晶宫的球迷当然有理由在过去的几个月里感到高兴。在多年未获奖杯之后，他们赢得了足总杯和社区盾杯，这无疑会增强他们在新赛季前的信心。自从奥利弗·格拉斯纳到来后，水晶宫一直以快速反击为基础，这也为他们在上述两场决赛中取得了成功。长期以来，人们都知道水晶宫是一支不会丢很多球的球队，在新的进攻方式下，水晶宫肯定会给本赛季的联赛豪门带来麻烦。我相信我们不会看到切尔西在这场比赛中占据统治地位，但鉴于目前全队的状态，以及个人的状态，首先是帕尔默和佩德罗，我必须在这场比赛中给予切尔西优势，我认为他们将以一场胜利开启新赛季。
