Hammers to claim London bragging rights
Crystal Palace and West Ham have both edged towards Premier League survival over recent weeks and a win for either at Selhurst Park on Saturday would all but guarantee they will be playing top-flight football again next season.
Palace had been firmly dragged into the relegation battle before Roy Hodgson’s return to the club as manager last month, but the former England boss has overseen three wins in his five matches in charge to ease fears of the drop.
West Ham have also improved recently, winning two of their previous four in the league, while they will be chasing a third successive away win in the top flight when they head south of the River on Saturday.
Supporters of Palace and West Ham have been able to breathe a little easier of late, with the Eagles having pulled eight points clear of the drop zone and the Hammers five, while David Moyes’s men also have a game in hand on all their relegation rivals.
Despite the easing of their respective fears about playing Championship football next season, this is still a potentially pivotal game for both Palace and West Ham. The visitors will be especially confident about collecting three points, as they have won on their previous two visits to Selhurst Park.
Palace won their first trio of matches after Hodgson’s second spell in the dugout, but they have picked up just one point from their two games since and have had only one home league victory since October.
By contrast, West Ham are unbeaten in four on the road in all competitions and have won their last two away fixtures in the league, against Fulham and Bournemouth – a third successive top-flight win on their travels could well be on the cards.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham tip 1: West Ham to win @ 7/4 with Betfred
A game with a history of goals
These two sides have certainly not been among the most prolific scorers this season, but they both tend to find their shooting boots when they face each other.
There have been over 2.5 goals in six of the past seven meetings between the two sides and in each of the previous four, a sequence that includes back-to-back 3-2 victories for West Ham at Selhurst Park.
The Hammers have also scored 11 goals in their previous four fixtures in all competitions, including netting four in their most recent away victory over Bournemouth.
Palace have not been as consistent in finding the back of the net, but they are capable of turning on the style when required, as they showed with the five goals they produced at Leeds this month.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham tip 2: Over 2.5 goals in the match @ 6/5 with Betfred
Paqueta to be among the scorers again
Given the likelihood of goals in this match, including both teams to score as part of a #PickYourPunt could prove shrewd, especially when you consider each side have found the back of the net in all of their past 11 meetings – a run that dates back to January 2017.
One man that looks particularly likely to get on the scoresheet is West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who finally appears to be finding his feet at the London Stadium after his summer move from Lyon.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has scored in each of his last three appearances for the east Londoners, more than doubling his tally for the season. He has also taken over penalty duties recently, which will further enhance his chances of finding the net on Saturday.
