Game Prediction
In English Premier League, like in other top divisions, there are several clubs from the capital city. Therefore, there are enough matches that can at least be formally called London derbies. The upcoming, rather shortened due to cup semi-finals, round will not be an exception. Crystal Palace will host West Ham at their home ground. The site's experts have developed their prediction for their match on April 21, 2024.
Crystal Palace changed their manager, but things haven't improved significantly since then
The "Eagles" bid farewell to Hodgson for the second time. This time, it seems to be final, considering his age and now health condition of the veteran coach. "Roy's era" was replaced by Oliver Glasner. The Austrian achieved success with German clubs, but now it seems like he's just given time to "acclimate" himself at Crystal Palace and in the Premier League without any particular tournament goals. Nevertheless, he debuted with a victory, and a convincing one at that. However, the subsequent matches mostly ended in draws, with the exception of a surprising 1-0 win against Liverpool, although they had to defend the victory desperately.
West Ham is playing their second match in a week again
The "Hammers," however, could get used to such schedules. Throughout the last season, starting from summer, they played in the Conference League and eventually won the trophy. This allowed them to move up to the more prestigious Europa League. There, the English team performed well in the group stage and rightfully advanced to the Round of 16 against Freiburg. But they received a couple of unanswered goals from Bayer Leverkusen in Leverkusen. They opened the scoring quickly at home but couldn't double it. In the end, the Germans snatched a draw with a goal from Frimpong. Despite such a workload, Moyes' team remained contenders for European competitions even in the spring. However, they lost 0-2 to Fulham in the last round.
Previous matches
Last season, the sides played entertaining matches, but West Ham emerged victorious both times. However, in December, they settled for a draw at their home ground.
