Crystal Palace vs West Ham United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/20/26

Crystal Palace progressed to the semifinals of the Conference League on Thursday, giving them a real shot at a European trophy. Winning that competition is also probably their best shot at returning to Europe next season, so how will Oliver Glasner approach the Premier League run-in? The Eagles are only 5 points off the top 8, but they need results elsewhere to go in their favor for them to climb into those European spots. With a 12-point buffer over the bottom three, Palace have little to worry about in that sense, so it’s easy to see the league taking a back-seat for Glasner in the coming weeks. The Palace players were in a celebratory mood in Florence after their midweek victory, while West Ham are desperate for points.

The London Stadium isn’t exactly a fortress for West Ham, having picked up 4 of their 8 victories this season on their travels. In fact, after 16 games both home and away, West Ham’s record is 4-4-8 in both. The real split for West Ham is actually to do with the standard of their opponents. They’ve lost 9 and drawn 3 of 12 clashes with the top 7. Since Nuno Espirito Santo took charge, West Ham have only suffered 2 road defeats against teams outside the top 6. While Nuno has a reputation as a defensive-minded coach, his team has managed to record just 1 shutout across their last 5. They can be a dangerous side away from home. While they’ve drawn a blank at 3 of the top 4, they’ve scored in 10 of their 12 road trips outside of that, netting 17 times. Expect an open game here with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
