The eagles from south London slowed down the leaders of the Premier League last day. The punk win against Spurs was by no means surprising, after all, Crystal Palace celebrated an impressive away win abroad on match day before. The next London derby for head coach Roy Hodgson’s team is on Wednesday evening.

Crystal Palace is a guest at the Hammers and, according to the best bookmakers, is a slight outsider. For a home win by West Ham against Crystal Palace, odds of 2.14 are paid, while a tip on the Adler is rewarded with betting odds of 3.80.

The start of the season has been impressive so far for the hosts from east London. After twelve matchdays, West Ham United is in sixth place in the table. Only two points separate the Hammers from an international starting place. It is therefore all the more important to win the home derby against the eagles from south London.

 

West Ham – Statistics & Current Form

West Ham United say hello from the top third of the Premier League. David Moyes’ team are out for redress this season after only finishing 16th in the table last season. Especially in the last few weeks the Hammers showed strong performances and made up eight places in the table.

Since losing to Liverpool, where West Ham slipped to 14th place, Moyes’ side has won four in their last five games. Only the home game against Manchester United (1: 3) was lost. Last weekend West Ham United celebrated a 2-1 away win over newly-promoted Leeds United.

Are the Hammers continuing the current run?

If the sixth in the Premier League follows the latest form, West Ham vs. Crystal Palace makes a prediction for the home side quite obvious. Above all, the otherwise fragile defence of the East Londoners has made a positive impression in recent weeks. In two of the last five games, even the clean slate was preserved.

In the six home games of the current season, a record of 3-1-2 was recorded. Before the recent home defeat against Manchester United, West Ham remained unbeaten six times in a row in the domestic Olympic Stadium.

No major changes are expected in the Hammers’ starting XI at the London Derby. Only two players will miss the home game against the South Londoners. If West Ham prevails against Crystal Palace, odds of 2.14 are paid out for tip 1.

The probable team of West Ham:
➤ Fabianski – Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell – Rice, Soucek – Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals – Haller

Crystal Palace – Statistics & Current Form

After the runaway victory at West Brom, Crystal Palace caused the next surprise in the Premier League last day. At the home derby against Spurs, currently, leaders in the English House of Lords, the Eagles from South London won a well-deserved point. For a long time, Crystal Palace was an equal derby opponent.

That form should now be underpinned at the next derby. In a foreign country, Palace currently has a record of 3-0-3. An average of 3.33 goals per game was scored in away games with the Eagles involved. So it is quite possible that West Ham vs. Crystal Palace pays off a prediction on a high-scoring encounter.

Will Palace win the second away derby in a row?

The Eagles from South London have not won two away derbies in a row since the 1997/98 season. After the away coup had already been successful in Fulham, Palace now senses the chance to book the second away derby victory in a row after the strong performances in recent weeks.

Roy Hodgson will have to complain about some failures on Wednesday evening. There are currently five players at the Adler hospital. There are no changes compared to last week’s squad.

Offensive player Jordan Ayew was on the bench in the last Premier League game, but will definitely be able to count on a game against West Ham United. After all, the Ghanaian has already scored four goals against the Hammers in his Premier League career. With his last two goals, Ayew led his team to victory against East London in the round two of the 2019/20 PL season.

The probable lineup of Crystal Palace:
➤ Guaita – Clyne, Kouyate, Cahill, Van Aanholt – Schlupp, Riedewald, McArthur, Townsend – Zaha, Benteke

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Betting Odds and Predictions

Last season, the Hammers were busy with the relegation battle for much of the season. Although the 16th place in the table in the final table was disappointing, but at least the relegation was secured.
