Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 27/04/2024, 01:32  by Ian John in Premier League Predictions

Fulham face Crystal Palace in their penultimate London derby game of the season. The home side have the eighth best record on their own ground in the Premier League. Yet, they have lost both of their last two matches on home soil, including their last game, a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool last weekend. Marco Silva’s team have lost three of their last four in all competitions, but did land a rare away win at West Ham in that run. Games at Craven Cottage have been tough for both teams to score in. Just six Premier League games at the ground this season have seen both teams find the net. Fulham lie 13th in the Premier League with 42 points from their 34 games. They sit well above the battle for relegation but too far away to be in contention for the European qualification spots. 

Crystal Palace lie a place below Fulham in the Premier League table in 14th and are three points worse off on 39 points. Oliver Glasner’s charges have found some real form of late, putting together their best run of the season with three wins in a row. A 1-0 win at Anfield against Liverpool followed by a 5-2 win over West Ham last weekend and then an impressive 2-0 home win over Newcastle at Selhurst Park in midweek. Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored a brace in both their recent wins, with the tall French striker in excellent form at present. With safety secured on the back of those three big wins, manager Glasner can start to build for next season on the back of this excellent run. However they face a tough test against a team that they could only draw 0-0 with when they face off at Selhurst Park back in September.
