LiontipsWest Ham vs Crystal Palace. Prediction and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
West Ham sacked Julen Lopetegui, who had not lived up to expectations at all. He was replaced by Graham Potter, whose debut as head coach was unsuccessful - the Hammers lost to Aston Villa with a score of 1:2 in the cup game. However, in the next game in the Premier League, they managed to beat Fulham on their home field in the London derby (3:2). In some ways, they were lucky in that match - three shots on target and all were accurate. There is another home game ahead against another representative of London. It should be noted that West Ham has been performing well on their home field this season, having scored 14 out of the total 26 points at the London Stadium. In the standings on the eve of the start of the 22nd round, the team occupies a modest 13th place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fullkrug, Bowen and Antonio are all out due to injury, while Summerville and Todibo are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in seven of West Ham last nine Premier League games
- West Ham have not lost in the first half in three of their last five matches
Probable line-up: Fabianski - Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson - Alvarez, Rodriguez - Kudus, Soucek, Soler - Paqueta.
Current form
Crystal Palace have confidently overcome the slump that has been there since the start of the season and are getting closer and closer to their usual role as a solid mid-table team in the Premier League. With 24 points, the glaziers are in 15th place, while they have already created an eight-point handicap from the relegation zone. In the four previous rounds, the Eagles have not suffered a single defeat - two draws and two wins. It should be noted that Oliver Glasner charges know how to succeed precisely in matches against opponents from the lower part of the table. Their last two victories in the championship were against Southampton (2:1) and Leicester (2:0). In recent transfer news, we note Chalobah return to Chelsea. The player was on loan at Crystal Palace.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wharton and Franca will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Three of Crystal Palace last five matches have ended in a draw at half-time
- Crystal Palace have conceded more than one goal just twice in their last nine Premier League games
Probable line-up: Henderson - Lacroix, Richards, Guehi - Munoz, Hughes, Doucouré, Mitchell - Eze, Sarr - Mateta.

9.80Tip and bets
West Ham, led by Graham Potter, have secured their first win in the Premier League and will clearly try to build on their success today at home. It cannot be said that the Hammers' opponent is too formidable, in terms of the level of the squad, rather, the hosts have a slight advantage. We expect that, on a decent emotional upswing, West Ham is capable of winning their second victory in a row.
Our prediction is a West Ham win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, we recommend starting from the statistics of personal meetings, after all, we are facing the London derby. In the last ten face-to-face confrontations, there was only one time when there was no exchange of goals scored. It is unlikely that any of the opponents will manage to play to zero today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.67
Betting on yellow cards
Please note that in six of the seven previous head-to-head meetings in the Premier League on their home field, West Ham players did not receive more than two warnings. Based on this, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - West Ham total yellow cards under 2.5 with odds of 1.57
