⁠Crystal Palace vs West Ham Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season Friendlies 2024

The Eagles have maintained a perfect start in the pre-season.

The appointment of Oliver Glasner has proved to be excellent after he guided Crystal Palace to the tenth spot in the Premier League last season. They have continued with the same form after making an unbeaten start in the pre-season. The Eagles opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic.

The next two matches have seen them secure dominating results over Crawley and Wolves. The Eagles hammered Crawley in a 6-3 victory followed by a dominating 3-1 victory over Wolves. Palace have made some shrewd signings in the form of Chadi Riad and Daichi Kamada, who have made a bright start so far. 

West Ham are going through a transition period after deciding to appoint Julen Lopetegui to take the club to new heights in the upcoming season. They have endured a mixed pre-season campaign so far after securing just one win in three matches.

The Hammers opened their campaign in a 2-2 draw with Ferencvaros followed by a narrow 1-0 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge. In the last match against Premier League opponents Wolves, the team suffered a 3-1 loss. Although the team has signed Max Kilman and Luis Guilherme, they are yet to showcase their brilliant best. 

Kick-Off:

Sunday, 4 August 2024 at 12:00 AM UK, 4:30 AM IST

Location: Raymond James Stadium

Form:

⁠Crystal Palace (in all competitions): W-W-D-W-W

West Ham (in all competitions): W-L-D-W-L

Players to Watch

Daichi Kamada (⁠Crystal Palace)

Daichi Kamada can prove to be an excellent addition to the team after making the move from Lazio in this summer window. Kamada is a technical player who is excellent on the ball and can create brilliant chances for his teammates. He can also score some brilliant goals at the same time.

His best spell came in the 2022/23 season with Eintracht Frankfurt where he scored 16 goals for the team while also adding another six assists. If Kamada can replicate the same form for Crystal Palace, they will be a delight to watch this season. 

Mohammed Kudus (West Ham)

Mohammed Kudus had an outstanding debut season for the team after making the move from Ajax. He finished the 2023-24 Premier League season scoring 14 goals and providing six assists. He was a menace for opposition defenders throughout the season. They found him difficult to defend due to his ability to use both feet.

Kudus’s ability to play several positions makes him an integral part of this West Ham setup. He now has the chance to impress his new manager before the season kicks off.
