Crystal Palace vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-11-08 15:00.
[p]After being controversially denied a late Jean-Philippe Mateta winner against Wolves (2-2), Crystal Palace’s miserable start to the season continues (W1, D4, L5). Amid an injury crisis in midfield, the Eagles will however be looking to build on an encouraging recent run in all competitions (W2, D1), but their next opponents are a Fulham side who they haven’t beaten in their last five H2Hs (D4, L1). [/p]
[p]After a vital 1-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur, Palace now have the opportunity to win consecutive Premier League London derbies for the first time since April 2017. And despite so far performing significantly below expectations in 2024/25, Oliver Glasner’s men have at least been solid at the back in the first halves of games, conceding just once before the break across their last six top-flight matches.[/p]
[p]Fulham by contrast are on cloud nine after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against local rivals Brentford thanks to a stoppage time brace from late substitute Harry Wilson. It was the first time in the Premier League that the west Londoners had ever won from a losing position in second-half stoppage time, moving them up above the Bees and into the top half. [/p]
[p]Premier League trips to Selhurst Park have been hit-and-miss for Fulham (W2, D2, L2), although the last three have all yielded clean sheets, meaning that the Cottagers could make it four successive away shutouts in league football against a single opponent for only the third time in their history. Yet one clean sheet from their last six away league games suggests that won’t be a straightforward task. [/p]
[p]Key battle: Palace right wing-back Daniel Muñoz has registered an assist in both of his last two games, but he’s been shown a yellow card in his last four outings. Similarly attack-minded, Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson set up Wilson’s dramatic winner against Brentford and he now has half as many Premier League assists this term (three) as he produced in the whole of 2023/24. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Five of Fulham’s last seven league games have featured at least one goal after the 85th minute. [/p]
