Two English Premier League teams in good form clash at the London Stadium this Saturday. West Ham United hosts Crystal Palace, aiming to secure back-to-back wins in the league.
For bettors on this match offers a thrilling opportunity to analyze odds and predict outcomes.
Recent Performances
West Ham enters this fixture off a dramatic 3-2 win against Fulham at home. Goals from Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek, and Lucas Paqueta sealed their victory. This triumph marked manager Graham Potter’s first Premier League win with the Hammers.
Despite this win, Potter admitted the match was stressful, especially with several key players injured. Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, and Niclas Fullkrug are all sidelined.
Yet, West Ham remains confident. They’ve scored in their last 21 EPL matches against Crystal Palace, their longest scoring streak against any opponent.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, beat Leicester City 2-0 on Wednesday. Goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi ensured the Eagles extended their unbeaten start to 2025.
They’ve now gone six English Premier League away games without defeat, a run last achieved in February 1992.
Head-to-Head Statistics
Crystal Palace hasn’t lost in their last five away visits to West Ham. Their longest unbeaten away streak, however, remains against Tottenham.
The Eagles have struggled in London derbies, winning just one of their last 22 away league matches in the capital.
West Ham seeks their first league double over Crystal Palace since the 2016-17 season.
But with 14 of the last 15 meetings seeing both teams score, another thrilling encounter is expected. Historically, these clashes often feature plenty of goals.
What to Expect
Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses heading into this match. West Ham has shown resilience at home, scoring consistently even when facing injuries.
Crystal Palace’s solid defense and unbeaten away form make them tough opponents.
However, the Eagles’ inability to consistently win in London derbies could haunt them. West Ham, buoyed by recent success, might exploit this weakness.
Predictions for West Ham vs. Crystal Palace
This game promises goalmouth action, with both sides likely to find the net. Fourteen of their last 15 league meetings featured both teams scoring, and this trend may continue.
A draw seems like the most probable result. West Ham and Crystal Palace are evenly matched, with little separating them in form and quality. An entertaining scoreline like 2-2 or 1-1 could be on the cards.
