- 西汉姆在本赛季的五场比赛中输掉了四场，每场都丢了三个或更多的球。
- 水晶宫在本赛季的八场比赛中保持不败。
- 上赛季，让-菲利普·马特塔在这里以2比0获胜，两球都进了。
苦难为陷入困境的锤子而生
西汉姆联队在国际比赛日前对阵诺丁汉森林队的2025/26赛季表现出色，但他们的庆祝活动是短暂的，因为他们在上周末对阵马刺队的全伦敦比赛中崩溃了。
铁锤队以3比0被他们的首都对手击败，这是他们本赛季五场比赛中的第四场失利，水晶宫可能是下一个给陷入困境的球队带来失败的伦敦俱乐部。
状态良好的老鹰队防守第一
老鹰队需要一场点球大战才能在周中的EFL杯上击败米尔沃尔，但他们在本赛季的八场比赛后保持不败，周六的三分看起来很有价值。
奥利弗·格拉斯纳’；中国队已经举起了社区盾，上赛季已经拿下了三分；中国队排名前七，其中包括8月底在阿斯顿维拉以3比0的惊人胜利。
自英超联赛开始以来，他们在七场比赛中只丢了两次球，这种防守韧性在对阵西汉姆联队的比赛中发挥了重要作用，西汉姆联队在本赛季的三场联赛中有两场没有得分。
马泰塔将在皇宫获胜
支持Palace赢得与对手的上诉，在3-0的比分上投一个小球看起来值得一喊。西汉姆在本赛季的五场比赛中有三场丢了三个球，其中两场以3比0结束，这是水晶宫几周前访问维拉公园时的比分。
Jean-Phillipe Mateta可能是老鹰队的一员；球员们要上记分牌。这位法国人上赛季表现最好，本赛季已经进了三个球。他在Palace打进了两个球；上赛季他在这里以2比0获胜，看起来很有价值。
- West Ham have lost four of their five competitive games this season, conceding three or more goals in each of them.
- Crystal Palace are unbeaten in eight competitive matches this season.
- Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored both goals in a 2-0 win here last season.
Misery builds for troubled Hammers
West Ham got off the mark for the 2025/26 season against Nottingham Forest before the international break, but their celebrations were short-lived as they were brought crashing back down to earth in their all-London affair against Spurs last weekend.
The Hammers were beaten 3-0 by their capital rivals, marking their fourth defeat in five competitive matches this term, and Crystal Palace could be the next London club to inflict a defeat upon the beleaguered side.
Defence first for in-form Eagles
The Eagles required a penalty shootout to beat Millwall in the EFL Cup in midweek, but they remain unbeaten after eight competitive games this season and look good value for three points on Saturday.
Oliver Glasner’s side have already lifted the Community Shield and have taken points off three of last season’s top seven sides, including a stunning 3-0 win at Aston Villa at the end of August.
They have conceded just twice in seven competitive games since the Premier League began, and that defensive resilience could play a big part against a West Ham side that have failed to score in two of their three league games this term.
Mateta to strike in Palace victory
Backing Palace to win appeals at odds-against, and a small punt on a 3-0 scoreline looks worth a shout. West Ham have conceded three goals in three of their five games this season, two of which ended 3-0, and that was the scoreline when Crystal Palace visited Villa Park a few weeks ago.
Jean-Phillipe Mateta could be one of the Eagles’ players to get on the scoresheet. The Frenchman enjoyed his best-ever season last term and has scored three goals this season. He scored both goals in Palace’s 2-0 win here last season and looks good value to add to his tally.
