West Ham vs Crystal Palace Predictions & Tips - Palace to Pounce on West Ham Woes
Crystal Palace are predicted to secure a vital victory over West Ham at London Stadium, taking advantage of West Ham’s poor home form and defensive struggles. Palace have a strong recent record in matchups, scoring two or more goals in most of their encounters with West Ham, and are unbeaten in 16 competitive fixtures. With West Ham missing key player Tomas Soucek due to suspension and leaking multiple goals in recent matches, the visitors are poised for another positive result. Action points: Expect Palace to win and score at least twice.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Predictions
Crystal Palace have a strong recent record in this fixture, and with the Hammers in poor form, could claim a vital road victory.
I'm banking on the visitors to score two goals or more and pick up the points at London Stadium.
Stats
- West Ham lost 4 of their last 5 matches
- West Ham conceded 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 matches
- West Ham lost 4 of their last 6 matches against Crystal Palace
- Crystal Palace scored 2+ goals in 7 of their last 9 matches against West Ham
Head to Head
West Ham and Crystal Palace have met on 24 occasions in the Premier League since 2012. Crystal Palace won nine of those games, while West Ham picked up eight victories.
Palace have had the better of recent meetings at London Stadium, winning three and drawing three of their last six visits to this venue.
West Ham Form
West Ham's largely dismal start to the season continued last weekend with Tottenham emerging as comfortable 3-0 winners at the London Stadium. Three goals conceded in a disastrous 17-minute spell at the start of the second period ensured a fourth defeat in five for Graham Potter's struggling side.
Aside from a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest at the end of August, the Hammers have struggled badly this season, leaking 14 goals in defeats against Sunderland (3-0), Wolves (3-2), Chelsea (5-1) and Tottenham (3-0).
A rotten record at the London Stadium remains a big issue for Potter's outfit. West Ham failed to win any of their last seven home Premier League games (D3, L4), while their only success in 10 previous league games at the London Stadium came in a 2-0 win against Leicester last February.
West Ham Team News
Beleaguered boss Potter will be forced into at least one change from the side that fell to Tottenham last weekend. Tomas Soucek misses out after his dismissal for a nasty challenge on Joao Palhinha.
Scottish midfielder Andy Irving could earn a recall in place of the absent Czech midfielder.
Crystal Palace Form
Crystal Palace make the short trip to East London after making hard work of their EFL Cup clash against Millwall earlier this week. After a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park, the Eagles eventually emerged victorious via spotkicks (4-2).
Unbeaten since a 5-0 defeat against Newcastle in April, the Eagles have enjoyed a brilliant year, including FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs at Wembley. Oliver Glasner's tough-to-beat have not lost any of their last 16 competitive fixtures.
Particularly strong on the road, the Eagles scored an impressive 3-0 win at Aston Villa in their most recent away fixture. Palace also picked up a point against FIFA Club World Cup champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Crystal Palace Team News
Head coach Glasner is likely to name the same side that was held to a goalless draw against Sunderland last weekend. Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah, Caleb Kporha and Ismaila Sarr are likely to remain sidelined on Saturday.
Verdict
Palace are in decent form, and will be confident of taking advantage of a Hammers side that has struggled badly at the London Stadium this year.
I fancy the visitors to win and to score two goals or more this weekend.
