Fulham vs Crystal Palace prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-06 16:30.
[p]Crystal Palace’s top-four push faces a significant challenge when they travel across the capital to face a Fulham side who’ve proved they can go toe to toe with anyone on their own turf.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fulham’s inconsistency was on full display against Manchester City, as they slipped to a 5-1 deficit before scoring three unanswered goals to come close to one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever comebacks. Boss Marco Silva will hope to leverage the positives from that performance and continue a good run that’s seen the Cottagers win three of their last five league outings (L2) to help ease any relegation fears. Key to that has been their home form as 13 of Fulham’s 17 points this term have been won at Craven Cottage, with only Arsenal and City beating them here in any competition this season (W6, D1).[/p]
[p]Crystal Palace showed their resilience on Wednesday night, as they recovered from back-to-back 2-1 defeats by grinding out a 1-0 victory over Burnley to move within a point of the Premier League top four. Amidst a hectic fixture schedule in December, Oliver Glasner’s men will be grateful for a short away trip here, but travelling any distance hasn’t bothered them too much this term as they’ve avoided defeat in eight of their 11 road matches across all competitions (W6, D2). Only Tottenham and Arsenal (14) have accrued more away points than the Eagles (13) in the Premier League, four of which were earned in London derbies.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]

There’s not been a home victory in this fixture since February 2019, while Fulham’s last win over Palace at Craven Cottage came back in January 2005 (D3, L4)![/p]
