West Ham vs Crystal Palace Match Prediction and Odds - August 4, 2024
Among the large number of control meetings scheduled for August 4, it makes sense to pay attention to the confrontation between West Ham and Crystal Palace. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for this confrontation.
West Ham
"Hammers" this summer are not impressive results, the team won only one match out of three, and beat 1:0 opponent from the fifth English division. In addition, West Ham played 2:2 with Ferencvaros, and in the last match lost to Wolverhampton with a score of 1-3.
Last season, the team finished only ninth in the championship, so will not play in the European cups. "Hammers" often set themselves ambitious tasks, with a stable game and a share of luck can fight for the top-6 in the next season of the APL.
Crystal Palace
"Glassmen" in the summer also played three matches, in which they won two victories and once played a draw. In the first match, the team failed to beat the representative of the third division Charlton - 1:1. Then they played against Koruli from the fourth division, winning with a score of 6:3.
Only in the last match Crystal Palace played against the representative of the elite Wolverhampton, here they managed to win with a score of 3:1. The team can not "grow out of the pants" mid-table, although the current level is very solid, given the serious competition of the EPL.
