Match Preview

Just one place and two points separate the London rivals featured in today’s West Ham vs Crystal Palace preview and for both the threat of relegation from the Premier League remains high. Both clubs have had relatively recent managerial changes with the vastly experienced David Moyes and Roy Hodgson being drafted in to steady the respective ships.

Our partners: Trusted, credible, and accessible – those are the three things that come to mind when discussing free money no deposit casino 777Spinslot.

Moyes has had a particularly impressive start to his rein and the Hammers are unbeaten in seven heading into today’s West Ham vs Crystal Palace betting tips. The appointment of Moyes had felt like a strange one given his dreadful record in management, but his coaching has solidified the West Ham defence and he seems to be getting the best out of talented attacking duo Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic. Both players are set to miss this match through injury, however.

Crystal Palace are on a run of just two wins in seven and they were taken apart in their last fixture at the Emirates against Arsenal. The Eagles were four down after twenty-two minutes and it will be interesting to see if they can recover enough confidence to avoid another defeat this week. Hodgson’s side have won just twice from twelve away Premiership matches in 2017/18, which is a poor record for a team with so many players suited to counter attacking football.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Prediction and Betting Advice

Moyes’ well-drilled outfit are tipped to win in the first of our free West Ham vs Crystal Palace bets. The Hammers are in great shape having gone unbeaten for seven matches. When playing in front of their own intimidating supporters, they are almost equally as formidable. They have lost just once at the London Stadium in their last seven outings there.

Up until quite recently, the Eagles were the worst away team in the Premier League from a statistical standpoint and though they have shaken off that tag in recent weeks, their record of just two wins from twelve on the road is something that cannot be easily dismissed.

In addition, CPFC haven’t beaten their London rivals in any of their last five meetings with them. In that quintet of contests, the Hammers won three and drew the other two, including the early season meeting between the pair at Selhurst Park. The latest Premier League football odds for a home win at Betway are of tremendous value – you won’t find more lucrative prices anywhere else.

The much-maligned David Moyes has brought a clear improvement in the Irons defensive organisation since taking over from Slaven Bilic. The Hammers have conceded just four times in six games, a stat that gave us plenty to think about ahead of today’s West Ham vs Crystal Palace predictions.

In attacking areas, their numbers are less impressive and they have scored one goal or less in four of their last five matches. They did break lose to score four at Huddersfield Town, but that result was an anomalous one in what’s been a regular pattern of low attacking output. All told, there has been under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings. The absences of Lanzini, Arnautovic and Carroll through injury are sure to be hard felt next week too.

For the Eagles, regular goal getting has also proven an obstacle – they have averaged less than a goal per game in the EPL this term and they have found the net just seven times in their twelve away games. The data available paints quite a clear picture and we should expect few goals when the teams do battle next week in East London. We discovered some brilliant odds to match the final entry in today’s English football predictions at Ladbrokes. You won’t find better value at any of their competitors.
