Fulham vs Crystal Palace Match Preview And Prediction
Fulham vs Crystal Palace: A remarkable run of form has been enjoyed by Crystal Palace in the second part of April. A 5-2 pounding of West Ham United followed a 1-0 win over Liverpool. This incredible run will hopefully continue on Saturday afternoon for the Eagles. At Craven Cottage on Matchday No. 35, they take on Fulham, a nearby rival.
The last four Premier League games for Fulham ended in losses. The 5-2 thrashing of West Ham by Crystal Palace last Saturday was their best performance of the year. In their last seven head-to-head encounters with Palace, the Cottagers have only prevailed once.
With Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze playing, Palace are a different animal. Last Sunday, they both displayed their extraordinary talent. Oliver Glasner’s team defeated West Ham 5-2, putting on their finest performance of the year. Even with a short turnaround, can they maintain it?
Fulham will approach this with a very different attitude. This early in the season, it appears that head coach Marco Silva is having trouble inspiring his team. Three of the last four league games were losses for the Cottagers. Six days prior, the team suffered a 1-3 home loss to Liverpool, the reigning champions.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace: Betting Analysis
The last four times Fulham and Crystal Palace faced off, three of the meetings resulted in draws. In their last nine home games against the Eagles, Fulham has only suffered two losses, three draws, and four victories. In the seven prior head-to-head matches, neither team has scored on goal until twice.
Crystal Palace is in far better shape going into the match. The only real issue with this away win pick could be its quick turnaround time. While Fulham had a full week off before to this match, the Eagles were playing at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night against Newcastle. Even so, the value for the guests is still too good.
These days, the Eagles are soaring high. Their 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield speaks volumes about their current form. Three of Fulham’s last four league games ended in losses. They also played to a 3-3 draw in late March against teams like Sheffield United.
Lastly, in their last seven head-to-head encounters with Crystal Palace, the Cottagers have only secured one victory. The primary selection, with 1.80 odds, is the away win or draw double chance. This is the battle between two units that want to attack. It would be shocking if there wasn’t a goal fest at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
