Competition: Premier League
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport
While they might not be able to welcome fans back into the London Stadium on Wednesday night, West Ham will host crosstown rivals Crystal Palace in midweek.
Starting with the hosts, while West Ham might have suffered a 3-1 defeat against Manchester United on home soil earlier in the month, the Hammers managed to make an eye-catching immediate return to winning ways over the weekend. Despite falling 1-0 down after just two minutes away at Premier League returners Leeds on Friday night, David Moyes’ men eventually managed to leave Elland Road with a 2-1 win to show for their troubles. Largely shocking almost everyone across England’s top-flight after opening the 2020/2021 campaign with back-to-back defeats, the former Manchester United boss finds his side open the midweek fixtures sat sixth in the table and some in their camp even dreaming of mounting a European charge. Collecting 12 points from their last five Premier League contests, the Hammers will be confident of extending on their purple patch this week.
As for the visitors, putting on a rugged display on home soil over the weekend, few would argue that Crystal Palace were not deserving of their late 1-1 draw against title-chasers Tottenham on Sunday. Managing to keep the mood in their camp at a recent high after landing a 5-1 romp away at West Brom when opening December, it is also worth keeping an eye out for attacking MVP Wilfried Zaha in midweek. Including bagging himself a brace away at the Hawthorns earlier in the month, the Ivory Coast ace has notched himself seven Premier League strikes so far this season. Now sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half of the table, the Eagles should also be boosted by what is an eye-catching record against Wednesday’s hosts. Picking up back-to-back 2-1 victories when they faced off against the Hammers last season, we’re backing a similar lively meeting at the London Stadium.
Bet: Both teams to score at West Ham vs Crystal Palace 4/5 for Wednesday’s Premier League matchup @ 888sport
