Fulham vs Crystal Palace — Tips & Analysis

Crystal Palace +0.25: Palace have owned this game. In the last 16 meetings they have 7 wins, 6 ties and 3 losses, and Fulham have not beaten them in five attempts. Palace also won the most recent meeting 2-1 in August. Fulham have won 4, tied 3 and lost 7 of their last 14 games, and they score less than a goal a game. Craven Cottage is the better part of their season. They have won four of their eight home games there and let in less than a goal a game. Palace are the harder side to trust away from home. They have won one of eight away trips, scoring less than a goal a game and letting in 2. Mateta and Sarr are both out, and they are the two forwards who carry the attack. So this looks like a slow London derby with very few clear chances. Fulham's games have averaged almost 2 goals in total, and one moment could decide this one. A 1-0 Fulham win is the most likely single score, and that beats this bet. Palace need to come away with at least a tie. The worry is real, because Palace have lost by 2 or more in 6 of their last 16 games. But 6 of the last 16 meetings ended level, and a tight game suits us. Palace handle this one better than the table suggests, and we will take the head start with them.
