Crystal Palace vs West Ham: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Crystal Palace will host West Ham United in the second-round fixture of the Premier League at Selhurst Park in a London derby match on Saturday at noon. Both teams suffered defeats in their matchday one game.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Oliver Glasner experienced his first opening Premier League defeat last weekend after a successful 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions stretching back to last season and preseason games. Palace suffered a controversial 2-1 defeat on their trip to the Community Stadium against Brentford last weekend, with Eberechi Eze’s controversial free-kick disallowed. The Palace attackers, led by players like Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Japanese player Daichi Kamada, looked brilliant during their opening match, with 14 goal attempts and six shots on goal. They were also dominant in terms of possession during the game.
Notably, Palace have an impressive home record under the Oliver Glasner era, winning their last four home league matches in the 2023–24 season.
West Ham Preview & Form
New Hammers coach Julen Lopetegui began his Premier League coaching debut with a home 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa at the weekend, with former West Ham United transfer target Jhon Duran scoring late for the Villans. The defeats continue West Ham poor run of form during the preseason games, as they have now only recorded one full-time win in their last six matches in all competitions.
The Hammers fans will be desperate that Julen Lopetegui can end their poor away form, as West Ham rounded off the 2022–23 campaign with four successive away defeats, conceding 15 goals in total. The fans will be eager to see their summer signings step up and perform better in their away clash.
