West Ham<\/a> are leaking goals for fun and clinging to Premier League<\/a> safety by their fingernails, while Crystal Palace<\/a> have quietly turned into one of the league’s most awkward away days. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one’s at Selhurst Park, Monday at 8pm. West Ham’s backline has more holes than a Sunday pub side, but Palace aren’t exactly prolific either. Palace don’t have much to play for in the league but there is plenty on the line for the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Palace’s defensive improvements stand out \u2014 11 clean sheets in 31, conceding just 1.16 per game. West Ham, by contrast, are shipping 1.78 per match and have only kept five clean sheets all season. The prices have Palace as slight favourites, and I agree. But the real value is in the goalscorer market \u2014 Mateta is quietly putting up proper striker numbers and the odds haven’t caught up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy I’m Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Crystal Palace to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Betfred<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nPalace have 11 clean sheets in 31 (35.5%) and are conceding just 1.16 per game. West Ham concede 1.78 per match and have lost half their games. Palace’s away record is decent, and the Hammers look lost. 13\/10 implies 43.5%, but with Palace’s defensive edge, I make it closer to 50%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jean-Philippe Mateta Anytime Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ BetVictor<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMateta has 10 goals in 25 appearances \u2014 that’s 0.46 goals per 90 (10 goals in 1969 mins). Against a defence conceding 1.78 per game, he’s a proper threat. 13\/8 gives an implied 38.1%, but his rate suggests it should be closer to 45%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
