Crystal Palace take on the visitors West Ham in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 29th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace have been pleasing their fans since changing their head coach. The team has had an impressive run and is now closer to the middle of the table, with an eight-point gap from the relegation zone. Yes, in the previous round, the "Eagles" relaxed and lost away to Wolverhampton, ending their streak of four league games without a defeat (three wins + one draw). I think we should not expect another loss from Roy Hodgson's team. In their last five home matches, Crystal Palace has only lost to Manchester City (0-1).

West Ham have also gathered momentum towards the end of the season and is not losing to anyone in a row, alternating successful matches with unsuccessful ones. As a result, the team is only three points behind the "Eagles" in the table. However, even with two consecutive away victories, away matches remain the main weakness of the "Hammers." It is unlikely that they will win the third match in a row on foreign soil, especially since the opponent is also on the upswing. Moreover, just a few days before this away game, West Ham had a very tough match against Liverpool, in which they lost 1-2.
In my opinion, the probability of a draw in this match is very high. Moreover, a point-sharing will be a reasonably acceptable result for both teams. Therefore, I think that either team could win, but I will choose the hosts since the home field advantage is particularly important in decisive matches of the season. Despite their good run, West Ham remains one of the worst teams in the Premier League in away games. In 15 matches, they have only achieved three victories. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has only lost once in their last five home matches. In the first round of this season, the "Eagles" even beat the "Hammers" away 2-1. I think they will not lose at home at least. The bet is 1X.
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace not to lose (1X).
