| The clash between Crystal Palace and West Ham at Selhurst Park promises to be extremely interesting, as the two teams enter the match with quite different goals and emotions at the end of the season. Crystal Palace are currently in 13th place. The Eagles are experiencing an incredible period under the leadership of Oliver Glasner. Despite losing to Fiorentina 1-2 on Thursday, they have qualified for the Conference League semi-finals. In the league, they are in good form with 7 points from their last 3 games including a win over Newcastle and have already practically secured their survival. West Ham are 17th. The situation for the Hammers, led by Nuno Espirito Santo, is critical. They are just a point above the relegation zone. West Ham come into the match fresher, having not played since April 10 and for them the three points are vital to their salvation. The coach of the hosts Glasner has serious headaches due to fatigue and injuries from Europe. Nuno has an almost fully restored squad. The only certain absentee is Lukasz Fabianski. Jarrod Bowen is expected to lead the attack, supported by new signings Axel Disassi and Tati Castellanos. West Ham are extremely dangerous from corners. Mavropanos has scored 3 goals from set pieces in recent weeks. |
