Bitesize Prediction: Crystal Palace vs West Ham – 21/04/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Crystal Palace win

Odds: 11/10 @ 1xBet

Looking to secure back-to-back Premier League victories on Sunday afternoon, Crystal Palace will welcome West Ham to Selhurst Park.

Starting with the hosts, putting in a famous performance away at Premier League title chasers Liverpool last weekend as they left Anfield with a 1-0 victory, Crystal Palace will be desperate to use that display as a platform to build on. Making the decision to appoint new boss Oliver Glasner back in February, the Eagles have gained plenty of recent plaudits. Skyrocketing themselves away from a potential relegation scrap, the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss will be smelling the chance to secure back-to-back Premier League wins here. Despite winning just one of their previous four appearances at Selhurst Park, they will be excited by an eye-catching record against Sunday’s guests. Snatching a 1-1 stalemate when they travelled to the London Stadium for their reverse showdown on December 3rd, Palace have collected seven points from their last three Premier League showdowns against the Hammers. Likewise, it should also be noted that they grabbed an action-packed 4-3 win when they welcomed West Ham to south London last season.

As for the visitors, while West Ham might have signed off 2023 in the midst of a real purple patch, the Hammers have come crashing back down to earth. Watching their Europa League adventure come to an end earlier in the week as they suffered a 3-1 aggregate defeat against newly-crowned German champions Bayer Leverkusen, David Moyes has found a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. With it expected that the one-time Manchester United boss will leave the London Stadium at the end of the season, Sunday’s guests have recorded just a single win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Last seen in Premier League action putting in a nightmare display on home soil as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, West Ham have also shown some extended issues on the road. Losing three of their previous four showdowns outside of east London, we are expecting a home victory this weekend.
