Match Preview

Crystal Palace are in solid form, increased by their run to the Conference League semi finals. Not minding losing 2-1 to Fiorentina in the second leg run up, they already conceded a 3-0 victory that got them to the qualification, to face the Shakhtar Donetsk.

Crystal Palace are playing both in the league and European games, they are now 13th in the league table. They are not completely safe from danger, but they are still close to the European qualification. Their last form has been strong, securing seven points from their past 3 games, including a 2 – 1 win over Newcastle. At home, they have been strong without a loss in their last 6 games at Selhurst Park and allowing only one goal.

However, West Ham pays more attention to staying in the league. A solid 4 – 0 win over Wolves which took them two points clear of the bottom three. However, not being steady is still a concern because that win came after losing in 3 games straight. Let us be positive, the away form has improved, with four wins in their last seven games.

Head To Head: West Ham won this match 2-0 last season, but Palace have won the last 2 goals at London Stadium. Making the match look hard & tight to predict.

Team News

Prediction

Crystal Palace have been on the solid side when at home and coming into this game, they are on a good momentum. However, their European fixtures & injury concerns could have a way of affecting their performance.
