Crystal Palace
Contents
- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 3rd December 2023
- Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
- Venue: London Stadium
This weekend, Crystal Palace aims to secure their fourth Premier League away victory as they travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United.
In recent weeks, West Ham United has had numerous reasons to rejoice. The team, managed by David Moyes, faced a tough period between September and early November, managing to secure only one victory in seven league matches. However, they have bounced back to the form that saw them clinch the Conference League title last season. As they head into this weekend’s match, the Hammers are on a winning streak with four straight victories. They have also managed to keep two clean sheets during this period.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace was teetering on the edge of relegation from the Premier League last season, only saved by the return of seasoned manager Roy Hodgson in his second stint at the helm. The Eagles have had a sluggish beginning to the 2023-24 season, sitting just ten points above the relegation zone. This struggling performance has largely been attributed to injuries, yet despite the return of most of their star players from these injuries, Palace suffered losses in their last two matches.
West Ham vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips: Both teams to score
The attacking prowess of West Ham United has been evident this season as they have managed to score in 12 out of their 13 Premier League games. However, their defensive capabilities need considerable improvement. This season, under David Moyes, they have managed only one clean sheet in the league. Additionally, only two out of their thirteen games have resulted in lost bets for BTTS — Yes.
Recent match-ups between the Hammers and Palace have consistently made headlines due to their high entertainment value, with over 2.5 goals scored in each of the last five games. Additionally, bets on the “Both Teams to Score &— Yes” option have been successful in all five of these games.

West Ham team news
David Moyes, the manager of West Ham United, will once again not have Michail Antonio available for play, who has been absent from the last two games due to a knee injury.
The Englishman, Jarrod Bowen, has also been absent from the last two games because of a knee injury, but he may recuperate in time for this weekend’s match against Palace.
This season, Alphonse Areola has been the top choice for the Hammers in the Premier League. The 30-year-old is anticipated to take Lukas Fabianski’s place as goalkeeper on Sunday. In the defense, Kurt Zouma might step in for Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Crystal Palace team news
Eberechi Eze was replaced during half-time in Crystal Palace’s loss to Luton Town last weekend because of an injury. His participation in Sunday’s game is uncertain.
Cheick Doucouré is unlikely to play in this weekend’s game due to an injury that required him to be stretchered off in the previous game. Dean Henderson, who is dealing with a thigh injury, will also join Doucouré on the visitors’ treatment list.
