There’s a London derby at Selhurst Park this weekend as Crystal Palace host Fulham in one of Saturday’s six Premier League fixtures. As we look forward to this 3pm kick-off, here at betting.bet you’ll find all the latest match information including match insights, recent form and expert betting tips in addition to the latest pre-match odds from our partners at BetMGM.

Form

Showing signs of turning a corner, Crystal Palace have earned more points in their last two league games than they had in the previous eight. The Eagles drew 2-2 away at Wolves last time out whilst their last home league game produced their first league win of the season, defeating Spurs 1-0 at Selhurst Park.

Fulham ended a run of three games without a win with a last-gasp 2-1 win over Brentford on Monday evening. Marco Silva’s side currently sit ninth in the Premier League table with 15 points from their ten matches. Despite taking just one point from a possible nine before Monday evening, Fulham remain just three points off the top four.

Crystal Palace v Fulham: Head-to-Head

Fulham are unbeaten on their last three visits to Selhurst Park, earning draws either side of a convincing 3-0 win on Boxing Day 2022. The corresponding fixture here at Selhurst Park last season ended 0-0 whilst their reverse fixture finished in a 1-1 draw. Four of the last five matches contested by Crystal Palace and Fulham have ended all-square, including each of the last three.

Betting Tips

Since losing 1-0 at Manchester United on the opening night of the new Premier League season, Fulham have bounced back to score at least one goal in eleven straight games in all competitions. However away games including Fulham tend to be low-scoring affairs with a total of just 11 goals (5 scored, 6 conceded) in their five away league games so far - the third-lowest in the league. Additionally, Crystal Palace have scored just three home league goals this season and five league games at Selhurst Park have produced just eight goals in total - both statistics are ranked as the worst in the Premier League. A low-scoring affair could be on the cards at Selhurst Park on Saturday and under 2.5 match goals should be given real consideration at 22/25.

With four draws in the last five meetings between these sides, another stalemate would not be the biggest shock. The draw is generously priced at 49/20. Given that our tipsters are predicting not only a low-scoring affair on Saturday but one that could end all-square, backing 0-0 or 1-1 in the correct score market could prove shrewd. These correct score predictions are priced at 19/2 or 5/1 respectively.

Picking a goalscorer from either side looks a real tough task given that Crystal Palace’s last five goals have been scored by five different players and Fulham’s last six by five players. However, backing Adama Traore to score at any time could prove an inspired decision at odds of 22/5. Traore has scored just once in the league this season but ranks eleventh in the entire league for expected goals (1.97 xG) away from home.
