REF’s picks

Backing Over 2.5 goals at 1.66 offers strong value in a fixture between two sides whose recent matches have featured plenty of attacking moments paired with defensive vulnerabilities. Both Crystal Palace and West Ham have shown a tendency to leave spaces at the back, making a multi-goal game highly probable.

1. 1Crystal Palace's matches have seen high-scoring encounters recently, including a 3-3 draw and a heavy defeat.
2. 2West Ham's past meetings with Palace have historically been high-scoring goalfests, such as 7-1 and 5-2 scorelines.
3. 3A cagey opening or early tactical caution could briefly delay the flow, keeping some risk alive for the over.
