West Ham United vs Crystal Palace Predictions
- West Ham have lost four of their five competitive games this season, conceding three or more goals in each of them.
- Crystal Palace are unbeaten in eight competitive matches this season.
- Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored both goals in a 2-0 win here last season.
Misery builds for troubled Hammers
West Ham got off the mark for the 2025/26 season against Nottingham Forest before the international break, but their celebrations were short-lived as they were brought crashing back down to earth in their all-London affair against Spurs last weekend.
The Hammers were beaten 3-0 by their capital rivals, marking their fourth defeat in five competitive matches this term, and Crystal Palace could be the next London club to inflict a defeat upon the beleaguered side.
Defence first for in-form Eagles
The Eagles required a penalty shootout to beat Millwall in the EFL Cup in midweek, but they remain unbeaten after eight competitive games this season and look good value for three points on Saturday.
Oliver Glasner’s side have already lifted the Community Shield and have taken points off three of last season’s top seven sides, including a stunning 3-0 win at Aston Villa at the end of August.
They have conceded just twice in seven competitive games since the Premier League began, and that defensive resilience could play a big part against a West Ham side that have failed to score in two of their three league games this term.
Mateta to strike in Palace victory
Backing Palace to win appeals at odds-against, and a small punt on a 3-0 scoreline looks worth a shout. West Ham have conceded three goals in three of their five games this season, two of which ended 3-0, and that was the scoreline when Crystal Palace visited Villa Park a few weeks ago.
Jean-Phillipe Mateta could be one of the Eagles’ players to get on the scoresheet. The Frenchman enjoyed his best-ever season last term and has scored three goals this season. He scored both goals in Palace’s 2-0 win here last season and looks good value to add to his tally.
