Fulham Form
Crystal Palace Form
Fulham welcome Crystal Palace to Craven Cottage on Sunday for a London derby. It’s tricky to call who will come out on top after the week both teams have had. Fulham nearly pulled off a comeback against City, while Palace secured an away win over Burnley. Let’s dig a little deeper to bring you our top Fulham vs Crystal Palace predictions.
Fulham stepped out of that 5-4 defeat against Man City without any new problems, which almost feels like a result in itself. Marco Silva still misses Antonee Robinson (knee) and Rodrigo Muniz (thigh), but the rest of the squad is available.
The big question? Samuel Chukwueze. He came on, changed the game, and now Silva has to decide whether to unleash him from the start. With his output sitting at a goal or assist every 46 minutes this season, you can’t blame anyone who thinks he’s earned it.
For Palace, things are steady enough. No fresh injuries from the Burnley win. Oliver Glasner is hoping Borna Sosa makes it back from a knock, but Ismaila Sarr (ankle), Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Caleb Kporha (back) and Rio Cardines (adductor) all stay out. Daichi Kamada played higher up against Burnley and might keep that role unless Glasner turns to Justin Devenny or Romain Esse for something a little different.
Fulham (probable XI):
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, King; Chukwueze, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
Crystal Palace (probable XI):
Henderson; Guehi, Richards, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Devenny, Pino; Mateta
Fulham’s recent games have been chaos in the best way. Goals everywhere, chances flying, and absolutely no sign of a quiet afternoon. They’ve picked up nine of their 17 points in the last stretch, and only Arsenal have stopped them scoring at home this season. You’d expect them to make a proper go of it again.
Palace, though, are different from the side Fulham just faced. They don’t blow games open; they manage them. Only Arsenal have conceded fewer this season, and Palace have racked up seven clean sheets already. They aren’t flashy, but they’re stubborn, organised and ruthless with the few chances they create.
You look at Fulham’s attacking threat and Palace’s defensive strength, and it sets up a bit of a tug-of-war. Fulham will test them, but Palace rarely let anyone run wild. A balanced, close match feels more realistic than another nine-goal explosion.
If you’re doing a footy acca this weekend, I’d seriously consider adding this one as a draw to lift your odds.
You can picture this one settling into a rhythm pretty quickly: Fulham probing, Palace absorbing, both sides waiting for the other to blink. With Palace dealing better with pressure lately but Fulham looking sharp at home, a draw sits right in that sweet spot of “yeah, that makes sense.”
Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.
A 1-1 feels the most natural outcome. Enough quality to produce goals, enough structure to stop it spilling into chaos.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1. Bet with bet365.
Under 3.5 makes plenty of sense. Fulham may have been involved in a goal-fest midweek, but Palace don’t do goal-fests. They grind. They wait. They frustrate.
Over 1.5 is still reasonable given Fulham always find a way through at home.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
