West Ham v Crystal Palace betting tips: Hammers face bogey side

Palace are 11/2 to win at West Ham, while the draw is available at 3/1 in the West Ham v Crystal Palace betting tips.

West Ham v Crystal Palace head-to-head

West Ham won 3-2 in their last Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace, who have been something of a thorn in their side in recent season. Only once before have they won consecutive matches against the Eagles in the Premier League (2016-17).

Palace have lost just two of their last eight visits to the Hammers in the Premier League (W3 D3) and are 6/4 to win or draw the game on the Double Chance market in the West Ham v Crystal Palace betting tips.

Both teams have scored in each of the last eight Premier League meetings and it is 20/23 that this trend continues.

West Ham v Crystal Palace key battles

Two late goals from West Ham’s Michail Antonio put a sheen on their win over Leicester, but there is no denying the striker’s threat.

Palace defenders Joachim Andersen and Marc Guehi boast an excellent passing range and are a massive boost to their side’s creativity, but how they cope with Antonio will go a long way to determining the outcome.

The former Nottingham Forest man has been involved in 10 goals in his last nine Premier League appearances (six goals, four assists), including five in two games this term, and is 11/8 to score at any time against Palace and 7/2 to score the first goal.
