In the previous round, Crystal Palace proved once again that it is the favorite's killer. They managed to win on one of the most difficult grounds for visiting teams - Anfield. By beating Liverpool, Crystal Palace won by 8 points from the teams in the danger zone, which is quite a solid supply for the last 6 rounds. This is one of the few teams that this season won more points at the away stadium than at home.

However, West Ham could not find the strength to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League against one of the biggest football miracles of this season in Europe - Bayer Leverkusen. They had the advantage until the 89th minute, but Frimpong brought the Germans a pass to the top 4 teams. As for the Premier League, West Ham continued their hot and cold performance with a home defeat against Fulham. They are now in 8th place without any chance of placing in one of the positions that lead to European competitions.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Maybe Crystal Palace needs a few more points to theoretically ensure survival, but this is a match that shouldn't have too many result tensions. One gets the impression that a draw would be favorable for both sides, but looking at some previous direct duels here, there should also be no shortage of goals. In Crystal Palace matches this season, almost 3 goals were scored per match on average. As for West Ham, that number is significantly higher, almost 3.5 goals on average. In the previous 13 matches between these two teams, it happened that both teams scored at least 1 goal each, so we expect a similar match here. Best to go with the BTTS option.
