West Ham United vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Palace are unbeaten in their last six Premier League trips, winning three of their last four
• West Ham have lost three of their last four
• The Eagles are unbeaten in their last five visits to West Ham

Eagles gaining momentum

Crystal Palace haven’t quite hit the heights they reached at the end of 2024/25, but Oliver Glasner clearly has them back on track. The Eagles head into the weekend unbeaten in five, with their midweek win at Leicester taking them eight points clear of the drop.

Palace are impressing on their travels, as they’re unbeaten in six Premier League trips. The Eagles have won three of their last four on the road and they’ve had plenty of joy at the London Stadium in recent years.

Hammers look vulnerable

West Ham won 3-2 against Fulham as Graham Potter made his return to the Premier League, but the former Chelsea boss still has issues to deal with at the London Stadium. His side lost the shot count 21-4 in that victory, while they lost on Expected Goals for the third Premier League game running.

The Hammers have lost three of their last four and they are looking short on numbers in the final third. They were struggling to create openings against Fulham and Crystal Palace will be a tougher side to break down.

Sarr can lead Eagles to victory

Crystal Palace are unbeaten across their last five visits to the London Stadium and they can build on that fine record this week. Glasner’s side are happy to play without the ball and take their chances on the break, which should hurt a West Ham side who lack a focal point in attack and pace in midfield.

Palace can build on their good recent return on the road, while Ismaila Sarr is well-placed to trouble the hosts. The winger has scored three of his four Premier League goals this term on the road, while he has had a shot on target in six of his last seven league games.
