Crystal Palace v Fulham: Betting tips and match prediction
Match details
- Date: Saturday 9 November 2024
- Venue: Selhurst Park, South London
- Kick-off time: 15:00 BST
- TV channel: Sky Sports
Preview
Crystal Palace face local rivals Fulham at Selhurst Park on Saturday in the Premier League, with both sides having endured contrasting seasons so far.
Three wins in their last four games have propelled Patrick Vieira’s side into the top half of the table, a run that has coincided with the return of club icon Wilfried Zaha from a 12-match injury lay-off.
Marco Silva’s newly-promoted Fulham, by contrast, are languishing in the drop zone following a run of six successive league defeats, including a 3-0 loss to lowly Nottingham Forest earlier this month.
Head-to-head
The west Londoners have not won this fixture since 2014 and have lost three of the last four meetings, including a 2-0 home defeat in May last year.
Palace, in contrast, have not lost at home to Fulham since 2008, when they were beaten 2-1 in the Championship.
Prediction
While Fulham’s recent form has been dismal, it remains too early to completely write off the Cottagers.
Silva’s side have been unfortunate with injuries of late, losing key players Aleksander Mitrovic and Neeskens Kebano to muscle problems.
However, the Cottagers are capable of upsetting the odds at Selhurst Park and a share of the spoils is a decent bet.
