Teams Comparison.
West Ham’s defence has been a big factor in their Premier League (PL) success so far (W3, D3, L1). Although their tally of nine PL goals conceded looks medial, it’s worth noting that 55.56% of those goals came in one game vs Manchester City. Across the other six matches, they kept three clean sheets and conceded over 1.5 goals just once. The ‘Hammers’ recent PL matches have followed a familiar trend. They have scored exactly two goals in three of the previous four, with each occasion seeing one goal scored in the first half and one in the second. In the second period, they have been particularly dangerous in between the 61st-75th minute where they have scored 40% of their PL goals.
Crystal Palace have been solid so far (W3, D2, L2), even if those PL matches have often been short of entertainment – five of the fixtures have had two goals or less. The ‘Eagles’ drew a blank in three of those games, but also kept a clean sheet in three – contributing to both teams scoring in just two of the matches overall. The visitors will be looking to end an eight-game winless run vs West Ham (D4, L4). Key to that will be improving on their defensive record of having conceded two or more goals in five of those H2H meetings.
