Crystal Palace vs. West Ham Prediction, Spread, Total Goals for Premier League – Monday, April 20
Crystal Palace looks to continue their stellar form at Selhurst Park in a London derby. Oliver Glasner’s club has gone unbeaten at home over its last six matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, West Ham enters this game following its biggest victory of the season, a 4-0 win over Wolves 10 days ago. The Hammers' victory saw the club overtake Tottenham for the 17th spot on the table after spending nearly three months in the relegation zone.
Monday afternoon’s match could allow Palace to sweep the season series with West Ham for the first time since 2022-2023. The South London club defeated West Ham 2-1 back in September. This match was an early glimpse of the offensive struggles West Ham would keep having.
In a game in which the Hammers saw 57% possession, Crystal Palace outshot the East London club 18 to 8, creating four big chances to West Ham’s one. That became a persistent theme for West Ham, missing 1.2 of their 1.9 big chances created per game.
Things have slightly improved for the Hammers since they made the managerial change, appointing Nuno Espirito Santo shortly after the first match between these clubs. The Sao Tome manager’s patented counter-attacking style has seen West Ham average 1.4 goals per game in the 25 games under his reign.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has had a fairly inconsistent season after starting off the year on the right foot. The club’s -1 goal differential in the EPL tells the story for Glasner’s squad, as they have been strong defensively but have failed to find their stride on the attacking front.
However, since the beginning of March, Palace has been stronger offensively. Glasner’s squad has scored 6 goals over its last four games, losing just once in the process. The defense has conceded 4 goals in that same time frame.
Star defensive midfielder Adam Wharton is set to miss this matchup. The English international has been a commanding force in the midfield, appearing in 28 of the 32 matches played.
