Crystal Palace - West Ham

West Ham's porous away defense (worst among mid-table teams at 1.81 GA/game away) and Palace's consistent recent scoring across competitions make it highly likely Palace will find the net at least once.

Signal quality: High · Uncertainty band: Strong lean

Palace's high draw rate at home (7 in 16) plus their H2H dominance and West Ham's abysmal away record make a Palace win or draw highly probable, with West Ham's relegation desperation the only significant counterweight.

Signal quality: High · Uncertainty band: Strong lean

West Ham's high card and foul averages, compounded by significant discipline problems (FA misconduct charge, 1.0 reds/game average), make it highly likely they'll accumulate at least 2 cards, especially in a must-win away game requiring intense pressing.

Signal quality: High · Uncertainty band: Strong lean

Both teams' yellow card averages combine to nearly 4 per match as a baseline, and West Ham's extraordinary red card rate (1.0/game in last 10) plus FA discipline issues strongly suggest a card-heavy match, amplified by West Ham's relegation desperation.

Signal quality: High · Uncertainty band: Strong lean

Palace's extremely low first-half goals conceded (0.3/game) and West Ham's moderate first-half output, combined with H2H pattern of tight first halves, strongly favor under 1.5 first-half goals.

Signal quality: High · Uncertainty band: Strong lean

West Ham's scoring frequency away from home and their extreme relegation motivation make it more likely than not they'll breach Palace's defense, despite Palace's solid recent defensive record in the last 10 matches (0.7 GA avg).

Signal quality: Medium · Uncertainty band: Lean

Palace's relatively low corner generation despite high possession (3.9 avg) combined with West Ham's variable corner output and their tendency to have few corners when facing possession-dominant teams supports an under-9.5 corners outcome.

Signal quality: Medium · Uncertainty band: Lean

Palace's chronic inability to score prolifically at home (1.0 PL goals/game at home) combined with consistent under-2.5 results in the last 3 H2H meetings points to a low-to-moderate scoring affair, though West Ham's leaky away defense adds some upside risk.

Signal quality: Medium · Uncertainty band: Slight lean

West Ham's ability to find the net even away (1.13 goals/game away) and Palace's vulnerability at home (1.19 GA/game) make BTTS marginally favored, though Palace kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 4 home matches including the 0-0 vs Leeds.

Signal quality: Medium · Uncertainty band: Slight lean

Palace's strong H2H psychology (2 consecutive wins) combined with West Ham's dire away record and Palace's possession dominance at home make a Palace win the most likely single outcome, though their poor home scoring (1.0 goals/game in 16 PL home matches) caps the probability.

Signal quality: Medium · Uncertainty band: Near coin-flip

While H2H history shows Palace capable of multi-goal wins against West Ham, Palace's chronic home scoring weakness (16 goals in 16 home PL games) makes a win by 2+ goals a lower-probability outcome despite West Ham's poor away defensive record.
