Fulham vs Crystal Palace prediction and betting tips on April 27, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 35th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday in London, where at Craven Cottage, in the London derby, Fulham will face Crystal Palace. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Fulham
The "Cottagers" have already resolved all matters in the current season and are now merely playing out the remaining matches. Currently, Fulham sits in 13th place in the Premier League table with 42 points. The gap between them and the relegation zone under Mark Silva's management is a substantial 17 points. In the last match, Fulham faced Liverpool at home and succumbed with a scoreline of 1-3. The first half of this match ended in a 1-1 draw, but after the break, the "Reds" pressed on and secured three points. This defeat marks the third in Fulham's last four Premier League fixtures. Regarding their home statistics, Fulham has lost their last two home matches and three out of their last five.
Crystal Palace
The era of Roy Hodgson at Crystal Palace definitively ended this season when doctors advised the coach to retire from football. However, his Austrian successor, Oliver Glasner, managed to shake up the team, and the question of preserving their Premier League status is no longer even up for discussion. The "Eagles" have won their last three Premier League matches and managed to pull away from the relegation zone by a considerable margin. In their last match, the "Glassmen" secured a victory against Newcastle at home with a score of 2-0, and prior to that, they defeated West Ham (5-2) and Liverpool away (1-0). Interestingly, the away win at Anfield was Crystal Palace's first since early November, when the "Eagles" defeated Burnley.
