Crystal Palace is ranked 14th in the English Premier League standings. Glaziers have one point after two rounds. And they have not gained victories in official matches yet. In the first round of the Premier League, the Eagles played against Chelsea in London, where they lost without a chance with a score of 3-0. After that, the team from South London hosted the newcomer of the elite division, Brentford. Crystal Palace kept a goalless draw, although the Bees looked preferable. On August 24, Vieira's footballers played against Watford in the English League Cup away. Crystal Palace spent the entire match in the attack but failed to score a single goal. In the end, the Glaziers lost 0-1 to the Hornets, conceding the only goal in the 86th minute.
The teams are now in different weight classes. West Ham, which was close to qualifying for the Champions League in the previous season, has confirmed its ambitions with two bright victories in the new championship. After the arrival of Vieira, Crystal Palace is still looking for the best game. The Glaziers have obvious problems in the attack, and they are not always perfect in defense. For this reason, West Ham's home victory looks expected. Most likely, at least two goals will be scored in the match. This result was repeated in the last nine head-to-head matches of the opponents, and it can be repeated again. West Ham's attack is in good shape, and even the strong Leicester did not escape defeat in the Hammers' den.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win and Over 1.5 goals scored
