Crystal Palace vs West Ham: Premier League match prediction
The opening matches in the Premier League have been unsuccessful for the upcoming opponents. Crystal Palace failed to take points away from Brentford, while West Ham failed to cope with Aston Villa at home. Today, in the London derby, the Glaziers and Hammers will try to get their first points. How will the game on August 24 go and what are the best bets to choose?
Command Analysis
Crystal Palace
EnglandCurrent form
During the last season, Oliver Glasner took over as head coach at Crystal Palace, under whose leadership the game improved noticeably, and so did the results. With the Austrian at the helm, they lost only three of 14 matches, and at home, the “glaziers” distinguished themselves by scoring goals in every match.
There were certainly expectations that the Londoners would pick up at least one point in the first round of the new Premier League. However, in the away derby with Brentford, a 1:2 defeat was recorded. The Glaziers themselves made six shots on target, but failed to score – an own goal from the opponent helped to distinguish themselves.
It looks like they will still have to learn to play and score in attack without Oliseh. Of course, they signed good Ismaila Sarr from Marseille and Daithi Kamada from Lazio, but it still takes time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Midfielder Matheus Franca will not play in the upcoming derby due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Crystal Palace have scored goals in nine Premier League games
- At least three goals have been scored at home in eight of the Glassmakers' last ten games
Probable line-up : Dean Henderson - Marc Guehi, Joachim Andersen, Chris Richards - Tyreke Mitchell, Adam Wharton, Will Hughes, Daniel Munoz - Daichi Kamada, Eberechi Eze - Jean-Philippe Mateta.
West Ham United
EnglandCurrent form
West Ham entered the season with new coach Julen Lopetegui . The experienced Spaniard's debut was unsuccessful. At home, the Hammers lost 1:2 to Aston Villa. According to statistical indicators, the game was equal, but the Birmingham team took better advantage of their chances.
Undoubtedly, the fans expected more from the team. In the summer, we recall, more than 120 million were spent on transfers. The Londoners' lineup was replenished with defenders Wan-Bissaka, Todibo and Kilman, and defensive midfielder Rodriguez. The attack was taken by winger Summersville from Leeds, talented Brazilian Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras, and Niklas Fulkrug from Borussia. It seems that Lopetegui needs time to find the best combinations in all lines, fortunately, the Londoners have a huge choice now.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no losses in the West Ham squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in 12 of West Ham's last 14 Premier League games
- The Hammers' previous six league matches have seen at least three goals scored
Probable line-up : Alphonse Areola - Emerson Palmieri, Max Kilman, Vladimir Coufal, Konstantinos Mavropanos - Tomas Soucek, Guido Rodriguez - Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen - Michale Antonio.

Bookmakers give the Glaziers a significant advantage in the upcoming match. Undoubtedly, they have the home field factor on their side, and the fact that they have won four of the previous five derbies. However, we would not discount the renewed and significantly strengthened West Ham . In the opening round, the Hammers did not demonstrate their full potential, but the team has enormous potential and is certainly capable of at least not losing today.
Our prediction is West Ham not to lose at 1.76
Bet on total
It is impossible to ignore the statistics of the latest head-to-head encounters, which regularly pleased with high scoring. Thus, only twice in the last 10 matches the London clubs failed to score more than two goals, and the bet on the exchange of goals has been consistently successful since 2017 for 15 matches.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.71
Bet on the first half
Let's note another promising trend in the first half. In four of the last five matches, West Ham drew with their opponents in the opening 45 minutes, which we do not rule out this time.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.32
