Our Predictions
West Ham’s at home and desperate for points. Odds favor them slightly. Since the last match was goalless, a tight 1-0 or 2-0 win is plausible. Both teams are wary of losing, so under 2.5 goals and no BTS make sense.
Recent form and head-to-head show a tendency towards draws. A high chance both teams score, and over 2.5 goals could happen if the game opens up late.
Palace has been decent on the road and may catch West Ham napping. Both teams scoring is likely, and a 1-2 or similar game is a real possibility.
Welcome to Extratips, where today we give you the lowdown on upcoming Premier League action! This Saturday at 2 p.m., West Ham hosts Crystal Palace at the London Stadium. West Ham's been solid at home, with a perfect record so far—two wins, five goals scored, and only two conceded. Palace, meanwhile, has shown resilience on the road, with one win and a recent 1-1 draw. Their head-to-head history is pretty dull—last encounter ended 0-0, so don’t expect fireworks. The odds favor a tight contest: bet365's prices suggest a slight edge for the away side (2.45) over West Ham (2.75), with a tasty 3.50 for a draw. West Ham sits in 16th, just above the relegation zone, but they’ll be eager to cash in on home advantage. Palace is 8th, riding some decent form with three draws in the last five. Their contrasting styles—West Ham's gritty approach vs. Palace’s tactical flexibility—set the stage for a fascinating clash. Expect a game with few goals but plenty of heated moments. A draw seems most likely, but West Ham might just steal it if they tighten defensively. Here are my predictions:
