On Tuesday night, West Ham and London rival Crystal Palace clash at the London Stadium in a potentially crucial game at the bottom of the Premier League table.
West Ham heads into this clash 11th place in the table, just four points clear of the relegation zone. The Irons are unbeaten in their last five Premier League outings but suffered a 2-0 defeat at Wigan in the FA Cup fourth round last time out. The home side drew 1-1 with Bournemouth in their last top-flight outing.
The Hammers are injury-ravaged, with the likes of Marko Arnautovic, Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll amongst the absentees for this potentially crucial encounter.
The home side’s league form at the London Stadium has been inconsistent of late. However, David Moyes side have lost just one of their last six home games in the league. Their recent games on home soil have been relatively tight, while both teams have scored in five of their last seven home league games.
Crystal Palace are just two places and one point below the home side in the table. However, their recent form in the top-flight has been inconsistent. The Eagles have lost just two of their last 13 league games, with both defeats coming against Arsenal, including a 4-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium last time out.
The visitor’s recent away form has been inconsistent in the Premier League. However, they have won just three of their last 16 games on their travels in the English top-flight.
Roy Hodgson’s team have scored in their last four away games in the league, having previously failed to score in ten consecutive away games in the English top-flight.
This game promises to be a tight one, as both teams head into this clash in mixed form. Forebet predicts this game will finish in a low scoring draw, which will keep both teams in the thick of the relegation battle.
