Command Analysis
Crystal Palace
EnglandCrystal Palace once again finished the past season in the middle of the league table, there was no progress in the game and results of the Londoners, only periodic bursts. Oliver Glasner's charges are preparing for the start of the new championship at a high level - there was not a single defeat in three friendly matches. They drew with Charlton (1:1), after which they won Crawley Town (6:3) and Wolverhampton (3:1). It is impossible not to note the high performance of the "glaziers", which is not always typical for them.
West Ham United
EnglandWest Ham finished only ninth last season and failed to secure a place in European competition. The Hammers enter the new season under the leadership of Julen Lopetegui . While the Londoners' results do not inspire much confidence, the team is clearly looking for a game. In three friendly matches played, there was a draw with Ferencvaros (2:2), a modest 1:0 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge and a defeat to Wolverhampton (1:3).

Crystal Palace are traditionally an awkward opponent for West Ham. In the last four head-to-head encounters, the Glaziers have not lost to the Hammers, and have won three of them. West Ham are clearly still in the process of building a new team under Lopetegui, while their opponents have warmed up and look very solid in friendly games.

Bet on total
In face-to-face encounters, the rivals regularly delight with a productive game. Thus, in six of the seven previous personal meetings, more than two goals were scored. It is unlikely that today in a friendly sparring, which is largely commercial in nature, there will be a closed game in the London derby.
