LONDON (Interstat) — Crystal Palace and West Ham United opened their Premier League campaigns with a scoreless draw Monday at Selhurst Park. The match failed to live up to its statistical preview, which heavily favored the hosts.

Interstat’s projection gave Crystal Palace an 84.7% probability to win, anticipating a 1-1 scoreline, but neither side could find a breakthrough. The game saw three yellow cards, including two in second-half stoppage time to Palace’s Daniel Muñoz and substitute El Hadji Malick Diouf. West Ham’s Brennan Johnson was also booked.

The result leaves both clubs with identical records to start the season: no wins, no losses and one draw across all competitions. The defensive deadlock provided a subdued start to the league calendar for the London rivals.
