Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with a promising pre-season followed by a disappointing start to the Premier League. The team had a strong run of three consecutive wins in their friendlies, including an impressive 6-3 victory over Crawley Town, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Their attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 2.5 goals scored per game over the last six matches. However, defensive concerns persist as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. The high percentage of games (67%) with over 2.5 goals suggests entertaining matches for spectators. Despite the positive pre-season form, Palace's league campaign began with a loss, leaving them in 13th position after the opening round.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form shows a concerning trend, with the team currently experiencing a three-game winless streak across all competitions. Their last six matches have yielded only one victory, coming against lower-league opposition Dagenham & Redbridge. The team's defensive record is particularly worrying, having conceded 12 goals in their last six games, with an average of 2 goals conceded per game. On a positive note, West Ham has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. However, their current 14th position in the Premier League after one game played, coupled with their negative goal difference of -4, suggests that the team needs to address their defensive vulnerabilities quickly to improve their standing in the league.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been impressive, with a notable run of three consecutive Premier League wins in their last three competitive matches at Selhurst Park. The team has been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an remarkable 11 goals in these three games while keeping clean sheets in all of them. Two of these matches were high-scoring affairs, with Crystal Palace thrashing Aston Villa 5-0 and Manchester United 4-0. Their overall goal-scoring record in the last six home games is impressive, averaging 2.67 goals per game while conceding only 0.5 goals per game. The team has also shown defensive solidity, keeping three clean sheets in their last six home matches. Despite a couple of draws in recent friendlies, Crystal Palace's home form appears to be strong heading into the new season.

West Ham

West Ham's recent away form has been concerning, with a notable run of three consecutive losses in their last three Premier League matches. The team's defensive struggles are particularly evident, conceding a staggering 18 goals in their last six away games, with an average of 3 goals conceded per game. Two high-scoring matches stand out: a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea and a 5-2 loss to Crystal Palace, highlighting the team's vulnerability on the road. Despite these defensive woes, West Ham has managed to score in 67% of these games, averaging 1.17 goals per game. However, their goal difference of -11 over this period underscores the significant challenges they face away from home. The team's only clean sheet and win came in a friendly against Dagenham & Redbridge, offering a small positive amidst an otherwise troubling away record.
