Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
🥅 Both Teams to Score
📈 Odds: 1.57
BTTS yes has hit in 8 of the last 9 West Ham Premier League games and 7 of the last 10 for Palace. Neither side is particularly convincing defensively, especially West Ham who have only managed to shut out rock bottom Southampton since the end of November.
The change of manager to Graham Potter got them a win but they still looked leaky at the back, conceding a lot of shots and two goals. Incredibly, 15 of the last 16 meetings in all competitions have been BTTS yes and when these two teams meet there is a history of goals.
🛑 Will Hughes to Commit 2+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.83
He has racked up the most cards of any player in the Palace squad in the Premier League (7) and also has a very high foul rate of exactly 2 per 90. Taking Hughes to commit 2 or more fouls here looks like a generous price and we only need him to effectively match his seasonal average so far.
West Ham drew 18 fouls v Palace in Graham Potter’s first match in charge, which could also indicate a change of style which increases Hughes’ chances in this market.
🚀 Eberechi Eze to have 3+ Shots 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.33
Eze averages 3.40 shots per 90 mins which is the 5th highest rate of any player in the Premier League. He is Palace’s key man and recently found some great form, scoring or assisting in each of his last 4 games.
He only had 1 attempt v Leicester but he’d had 4 or more shots in all of his last 3 games before that. As part of this bet builder, taking him to have 3 or more shots feels like a good option, especially with it being below his seasonal average.
🎯 Lucas Paqueta to have 1+ Shots on Target 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.73
If Graham Potter goes with the same attacking lineup as he did in midweek then there’s a good chance that Paqueta will be playing upfront in a false-9 role. He scored against Fulham, so there’s no real reason to change things.
West Ham only had 4 shots in midweek but Paqueta had half of those and should get into some strong positions to hit the target. Taking the Brazilian just to have 1 or more shots on target looks a big price all things considered.
Just 11% of his shots have been on target this season but in a different role, we must look beyond the stats because he will be shooting from more favourable positions.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
🏆 Crystal Palace to Win
📈 Odds: 2.70
West Ham beat Fulham 3-2, but it was quite a fortunate success. The Hammers had 4 total shots and scored with 3 of them! They lost the xG battle and were lucky that Fulham missed a lot of chances. If they play like that again here then there’s a good chance they’ll lose.
This is a Crystal Palace side with only 1 loss in 10 Premier League games and they are in much better form and rhythm compared to the start of the season. Palace have won 3 of their last 4 away games in the PL and are offering the better attacking threat right now with the likes of Mateta and Eze firing.
With West Ham still missing key men like Jarrod Bowen, it could be a good time to face them with Potter yet to fully get to grips with his squad.
🚩 Over 4.5 Crystal Palace Corners
📈 Odds: 2.10
The visitors average 4.80 corners per game in the Premier League this season and should have a good chance of registering at least 5 flag kicks in this game. West Ham concede 5.90 corners per game and are facing a team that tends to cross and shoot a lot, this could be another contest in which they are forced to defend set pieces.
The Hammers have a lot of tall players so don’t mind conceding corners. Palace only had 3 corners in midweek v Leicester but prior to that, had 6 against Chelsea and 8 against Southampton. 2.10 for this line looks generous.
⚽ Eberechi Eze to Score or Assist 🔄
📈 Odds: 2.30
It has taken a while, but Eze seems to have found some form and if Palace score in this match he will more than likely be involved. Eze has scored or assisted in all of the last 4 Palace fixtures and is a genuine dual threat in this capacity.
He takes most of the dangerous free kicks, some of the corners and gets into dangerous positions. Let’s keep riding him whilst he’s hot with the chance to either score or assist.
⚽ Lucas Paqueta to Score or Assist 🔄
📈 Odds: 2.88
This is a massive price on a player who just scored in midweek and will be operating in a far more advanced role compared to normal. Graham Potter has inherited a West Ham side with an injury crisis in attack. The likes of Bowen, Antonio, Fullkrug and Summerville are all ruled out or slightly doubtful.
Potter’s solution was to use Lucas Paqueta in a false-9 role upfront and he was rewarded by scoring their third goal. The Brazilian international normally plays far more deeper, but now he will have a better chance to score whilst maintaining his assist threat.
