Crystal Palace vs West Ham Odds: Back the goals on New Year's Day

Live on Sky Sports, Crystal Palace host West Ham in the premier league at the Selhurst Park Stadium this Saturday at 5.30pm. Both teams come into this fixture in mixed form. The hosts have won just 2 Premier League games out of their last 8 while the visitors have taken all 3pts in just 1 out of their last 6 games in all competitions.

However, the one thing common between them is that both teams have won their last game resoundingly. Palace eased to a 3-0 win at home against rock-bottom Norwich City courtesy of 3 first half goals while the Hammers came back from behind to beat Watford 4-1. Meetings between these 2 sides have always produced goals with both teams scoring in their last 9 consecutive meetings in the league.

A potential goal-fest awaits us and as usual, I have you covered with my 3 best betting angles for this New Year’s clash included in the preview below:

Team News:

Eze & Olise are out for Palace while Mcarthur & Andersen are doubtful.

Kurt Zouma, Ogbonna & Cresswell are out for West Ham.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:

Butland; Ward, Tomkins, Guehi, Mitchell; Gallagher, Kouyate, Schlupp; Ayew, Edouard, Zaha

West Ham United possible starting lineup:

Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Johnson; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Benrahma; Antonio

Crystal Palace have seen both teams score in their last 6/8 home games in the Premier League while West Ham have seen this bet land in their last 5/7 premier league fixtures. This bet almost always cashes when these 2 teams meet as both teams have found the back of the net in their last 9 premier league meetings in a row. Considering the average price across most bookmakers is 4/6 for this bet, SBK’s 8/11 is worth a 1pt stake as our main bet for this game.

Bowen is an assist machine for West Ham at the moment. He has the most assists for his team with 7 in 18 appearances and got 2 of them in his last outing against Watford. He keeps finding the perfect pass at the moment and at 16/5, it is hard not to have a small punt at it. Take Bowen anytime assist with a small 0.5pt stake as our 2nd bet for this game.

I am expecting an entertaining clash at the Selhurst Park Stadium. Both teams have scored in their last 9 consecutive head to head meetings. Last time these 2 teams played each other at this stadium, both teams scored in both halves so this selection was a winner. Odds of 12/1 look attractive for the same bet to land again here and I am getting on that with a very small 0.25pt stake as my long-shot.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
