Kick-off: 1500, 26/12/2022
Stadium: Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace and Fulham will both be looking to bounce back from defeats when they finally resume their campaign.
Palace suffered a dismal loss at Nottingham Forest prior to the World Cup while Fulham were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United deep into added time.
The Eagles have a strong record at Selhurst Park this term and a home win at Evens is our first Crystal Palace vs Fulham prediction.
Crystal Palace Odds
Palace are two places below Fulham in the table but have the same amount of points.
Patrick Vieira’s side saw a two-match winning run end at the City Ground as Morgan Gibbs-White’s second-half goal secured Forest a 1-0 triumph.
Vieira said: “I think the game overall reflects our season so far, we showed some good stuff but we lack consistency.
“We have to analyse the performance, we have to improve, I have to find better solutions or different formations but I don’t think that is the problem.”
Palace will take comfort from their form on home soil this term and have won their last three there, beating Leeds, Wolves and Southampton.
Those trio of wins all came by one goal and this London derby could go the same way.
The hosts to win by exactly one goal is 27/10 in the Crystal Palace vs Fulham odds.
Fulham Odds
Alejandro Garnacho broke Fulham hearts with a late winner for Manchester United at Craven Cottage.
To say Fulham were disappointed with a last-gasp defeat to United shows how much progress they have made under Marco Silva, especially having lost in the same manner at Manchester City the game before.
Silva said: “It’s cruel sometimes football, but I know that I said last week and I say again that you have to learn from these types of moments because you are playing Premier League and these type of things happen if you switch off in some moments of the game.”
Fulham’s recent record against Palace does not read well though, having not won in their last five meetings.
The Cottagers have struggled on the road this term too, losing five of their eight matches in all competitions, and come up against a side strong at home.
A 2-1 home win at 15/2 completes our Crystal Palace vs Fulham betting tips.
