Fulham - Crystal Palace predictions

Fulham should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Crystal Palace can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Crystal Palace seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.75, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The Cottagers home supporters were not too happy with the team when they failed to gain a lead for most of their previous Premier League match. After all, they had home-field advantage and were generally considered close favourites. They did manage to earn a 1-goal lead in the second half, though, which was the final score as well.

Last round’s proceedings didn’t end too well for Crystal Palace. They struggled throughout the game against Everton and never managed to catch up, resulting in a surprising 1:2 home loss.

The Cottagers can boast over 5 goals scored during their past 3 away games. Seeing how playing at home is generally seen as an advantage, we can expect their attackers to perform just as well this Saturday, if not better.

Crystal Palace have a very strong track record when it comes to scoring in away games – 6 goals in their previous 3 games, to be specific. An Over 4.5 Bet is not often a good idea, but it might be time to consider one.

While the hosts are in the upper end of the standings, the table positions above them are the most contested. They’ll need 4 points to get into a qualifying spot for the Europa League, which is a tall order with teams like Crystal Palace in their way.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.10 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Fulham won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.69 odds offer a decent return.
