West Ham continue their hunt for a European finish in the Premier League this weekend when they travel to Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace will be looking to record a second straight success after a famous win over Liverpool last weekend.
Premier League Preview
It promises to be an exciting race for European qualification in the Premier League over the final month of the season. West Ham will be looking to achieve that target, but they come into this round after dropping to eighth in the standings. But, a return to winning ways in the competition on Sunday could see them end the round in sixth.
It has been a challenging period for the Hammers in the league, as they have landed just a single victory over their last five matches in the competition. Over that period, they have suffered two defeats, and have played out two draws. West Ham come into this weekend following a disappointing 2-0 defeat at home against Fulham in their previous fixture. That defeat means that they are now winless in their last four home matches in the Premier League, which is their longest wait for a success since 2019.
Crystal Palace’s status in the top-flight looks assured following a famous victory at Anfield in their previous fixture. That success leaves them sitting 14th in the standings, and they now boast an eight-point advantage over the relegation spots with six rounds of matches remaining in the competition.
It was a much-needed success for the Eagles last weekend, as they had gone four matches without a victory in the competition. The winning effort at Anfield was netted after just 15 minutes by Eberechi Eze, but Palace had a number of chances to extend their advantage.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham Head to Head
Palace are unbeaten in their last three matches against the Hammers, winning on two occasions over that period. However, West Ham have won on two of their last three visits to Selhurst Park. But, the Eagles landed a dramatic 4-3 success in this exact fixture in 2022-23.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham Prediction
West Ham will only have a few days to prepare for this fixture after playing in the Europa League on Thursday. Therefore, it could be worthwhile to side with the Eagles to maintain their fine recent record in this fixture by landing maximum points at home.
