Crystal Palace vs West Ham Prediction and Betting Tips: Hammers tipped for away win
Crystal Palace play host to London rivals West Ham at Selhurst Park on Saturday in a Premier League contest that gets underway at 3pm.
Palace were beaten 2-1 at Brentford in their opening Premier League fixture and the Eagles will be hoping the return to their fortress Selhurst Park sparks a return to form.
However, the Hammers will also be looking to get off the mark following their 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa in their Premier League curtain-raiser.

Only the Premier League’s top-seven sides scored more home league goals than Crystal Palace last term and Oliver Glasner’s men will be hoping to resume progress at Selhurst Park.
However, Glasner will have to do so without defender Joachim Andersen, who looks set to make a move to Fulham.
West Ham will have been disappointed to lose at home to Villa on the opening weekend of top-flight action, but the Hammers certainly performed with credit last weekend.
Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be handed their first starts for the Irons while Edson Alvarez is also back in contention.
West Ham were beaten by Villa in their Premier League opener, but the Hammers showed enough to suggest that they will be a difficult side to outpoint this season.
The Irons registered 14 shots on goal and an expected goals figure of 2.46 in that defeat to Villa and a reproduction of those numbers would make the Hammers tough to topple at Selhurst Park.
Palace lost a valuable attacking asset in Michael Olise in the summer following his move to Bayern Munich and centre-back Andersen is set to follow the Frenchman out of south London.
The Eagles are yet to make their move in terms of bolstering their squad and Palace do look a little short of quality.
That means Palace appear a little short in the betting for this London derby, with West Ham looking like a good value play.
At 5/1, backing West Ham to win to nil looks like another bet which could pay dividends. Olise scored ten Premier League goals for the Eagles last season and his departure to Germany is a bitter blow.
West Ham have beefed up their defence with the signing of the excellent Max Kilman and in Konstantinos Mavropanos he has a centre-back partner that is improving all the time.
The Irons showed they can be resolute when keeping clean sheets against Manchester United and Arsenal last season and the backline that Julen Lopetegui has at his disposal appears stronger than what the Hammers were fielding then.
West Ham look more than capable of standing firm at Palace and backing the visitors to win to nil could reap the rewards.
