Match preview

West Ham United host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on 20 September 2025. West Ham United sit 18th on 39 points and Crystal Palace are 15th on 45. West Ham United have won 1 of their last 5 (LLLWL), while Crystal Palace have won 1 of 4 (DDWD). In their last 1 meetings, West Ham United won 0, Crystal Palace won 0 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
