Crystal Palace vs West Ham

West Ham will be looking to maintain their push for survival when they travel to Crystal Palace for a Monday night English Premier League fixture.

Meanwhile, the Eagles return to domestic action after a successful week in Europe and are eyeing a place in the top 10. Both teams need a result in this one and could be set to serve up a thrilling contest.

Crystal Palace News

Crystal Palace come into this clash after qualifying for the semi-final of the UEFA Conference League with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Fiorentina. Oliver Glasner's team were beaten 2-1 in Italy on Thursday, but a 3-0 home victory in the first leg already put them in control of the tie.

Thursday's defeat in Italy was the first in seven matches for Crystal Palace, who have taken the lead in their last eight fixtures and are just four points off the top 10. They are also unbeaten in their last six home matches across all competitions, a run that includes a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United last time out in the Premier League.

The goals have flowed freely for Crystal Palace lately, having scored in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of the last eight matches in this run, while five of those eight fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

West Ham News

West Ham claimed a vital 4-0 home victory over Wolves in their previous Premier League fixture. They were comfortable throughout the contest, with Kostantinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos scoring a brace each.

That result means West Ham are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions and now sit two points above the relegation zone. Nuno Espitrito Santo's team have also picked up some good results on their travels and are unbeaten in four of their last six away matches across all competitions.

West Ham have also shown some attacking quality lately, scoring in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of the last eight matches in this run, while three of the last five fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Crystal Palace have eight wins while West Ham have been victorious four times, with six draws in the last 18 matches. The Eagles claimed a 2-1 away victory in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Crystal Palace v West Ham

Both teams are showing some good form lately, but Crystal Palace will be keen to put on a show in front of the home fans. The Eagles have taken the lead at some point in eight of their last 10 matches, and a similar pattern could be in the cards.

It is always an open encounter between Crystal Palace and West Ham, and with both teams scoring in eight of their last 10 matches, a repeat is expected here. All eight fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome could be considered in this clash.
