If Palace are to harbour any realistic hopes of retaining their top flight status next season, Tony Pulis has to get them winning games at home. So far this term they’ve picked up just four points on their own soil, including a very respectable draw last time out when they hosted Everton.

If Palace are to turn the tide under Tony Pulis, they need to start finding the back of the net. They have only scored seven in their opening 13 games, and have scored just once in their last five games. In the next week Palace host both West Ham and Cardiff City, two of the sides who sit just above the relegation spots, presenting Pulis with a great opportunity to get his tenure as Palace boss of to a great start.

Simply put, the Eagles have to pick up points from these two games, lose them and they will surely be too far adrift even at this relatively early stage in the season to avoid relegation. West Ham sunk another relegation candidate at the weekend to give themselves a little bit of breathing space above the bottom three and bring to an end Martin Jol’s reign as Fulham manager. They will be looking at this fixture thinking they can move further clear, relieving some of the pressure on boss Sam Allardyce before a tricky run of fixtures including trips to both Anfield and White Hart Lane.

When a new manager comes into a side they tend to see a change in fortunes, even if only brief, as the players look to impress and stake a claim to be in his starting lineup. Palace looked to have improved against Norwich at the weekend and were perhaps unlucky to lose the game, so I expect them to come out strongly on Tuesday night. A Palace/Draw double chance is available at 11/20 with Bet365, similarly the draw no bet is there at 21/20 with Ladbrokes, which are both worth a look at for a Crystal Palace vs West Ham prediction considering the magnitude of this game for the home side.

In terms of other betting markets, goal scoring has, like I said, been tricky for Palace this season. One player who has looked sharp in the final third though would be Barry Bannan. If you fancied an outside shot at an anytime goal scorer betting tip, the Scot, who scored the winner at Hull a week ago, is available at odds of 8/1 with Bet365. Both Managers will want to go out and win the game, but both will know that this is one neither can afford to lose. For West Ham it would see them slip right back into the relegation mix, plus to lose to Palace is almost a taboo in this season’s Premier League, even Fulham avoided that feat. For Palace, it would see them slip closer and closer to a return to the Football League. As a result this will likely be a cagey affair, settled perhaps by the odd goal. Coral offer best odds of 4/7 on under 2.5 goals in the game, as well as 16/5 on West Ham to win to nil. Ladbrokes offer the best price on Palace to win to nil of 19/5. All of these are worth a go for a football betting tip, simply given the fact that a loss for either side would be so damaging that I expect both to be a little reserved in ensuring that doesn’t happen.
