On May 20, Craven Cottage (London) will host the match of the 37th round of the English Premier League, in which Fulham will compete with Crystal Palace. The battle will start at 16:00 CET.

Fulham

The team spends its first season after another promotion from the Championship. And, unlike the great number of previous similar cases, it was possible to avoid relegation already after the first draw. Speaking about the results of the previous relegation, which happened in 2021, Marco Silva came to the coaching position. The Portuguese specialist was easily able to cope with the first task, having won the Championship a year ago, moreover, he did it far from the end of the tournament. Still, the main surprises of “the Cottagers” were left for the Premier League. They were not just fighting for survival there – the club from London was among the contenders for European competitions at the end of winter. However, it seems that the struggle for this has been tritely abandoned. There were many defeats in the spring. Moreover, they happened with clearly weaker, but motivated teams. However, both underdogs, Leicester and Southampton, were beaten in a pretty confident manner in May.

Crystal Palace

The club did an experiment with a young coach, Patrick Vieira, in the previous season. The French specialist achieved good results in 2021/2022 – being under his rule, the team demonstrated noticeable progress. Speaking about the current cycle, everything went wrong gradually – “the Eagles” did not win even once in 2023. As a result, the patience of the management snapped, and Steve Parish made the “reverse castling” of the mentor: the French coach was fired and replaced by Hodgson. “Old Roy” and his new-and-old wards won three times in a row in April. And then there were pretty good matches, which, however, alternated with defeats. The team achieved a 0-0 draw in the match with Everton and beat West Ham and Bournemouth. Still, the away battles brought “dry” failures in the confrontations against Wolverhampton and Tottenham.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

“The Glaziers” have not lost 5 matches in a row. Still, there happened an away 3-0 success of Fulham in the current season.

Predictions

Bookmakers give preference to Fulham, which will play at the home arena. Still, its ambitions are far from being serious. Thus, we bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.84).
