Fulham vs Crystal Palace Preview and Team News

Fulham Team News

Marco Silva will look to become a Fulham club legend this season, putting his team among the leading contenders in the FA Cup. The squad have been professional in the latest three rounds of the competition, edging through in the previous round following a penalty shootout success against Manchester United.

In all tournaments, Fulham have won two of their last three matches. They’ve also been clinical in the final third throughout the season, scoring 36 goals from an open play xG of 35.79. However, their xGA indicates that they’ll need to be stronger defensively after allowing 30 nets from a metric of 25.15.

Sasa Lukic will be suspended this weekend. Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson have also both been ruled out due to knee and ankle injuries, respectively.

Fulham predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Reed; Adama, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez.

Crystal Palace Team News

Crystal Palace will have their sights set on a first FA Cup success this season. The club have been losing finalists twice. Their most recent Wembley appearance ended in defeat against Manchester United in 2016. 

Palace have beaten three teams from the EFL in the FA Cup this term, with their most recent success coming at Selhurst Park against Millwall.

They’ll need to be sharper in the final third this weekend after scoring 21 goals from an open-play xG of 38.30. Their lack of clinical finishing is evident in recent matches after underperforming in terms of their xGs in wins over Aston Villa and Ipswich Town.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is fit enough to return from injury on Saturday. However, Chadi Riad, Joel Ward, and Rob Holding will all miss out. Will Hughes serves his suspension for Crystal Palace.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction 

• Pick: Crystal Palace
• Odds: 3.10 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

The visitors could be the value play at the prices after bouncing back to form in the second half of the season. 

Oliver Glasner’s side recorded a 2-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage last month, which ended a six-game winless sequence against their London rivals. However, Crystal Palace have avoided defeat in their previous six matches at the same venue, recording only three wins over that period. 

That eye-catching head-to-head trend could be worth following when making a Fulham vs Crystal Palace prediction on Saturday. 

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.74 (22Bet)

Low-scoring fixtures have been standard since Fulham and Crystal Palace collided in recent seasons. The H2H trends indicate that over 2.5 goals have only been a winning selection in one of the previous five meetings. Only two nets were scored in each of the last five. 

Siding with a low-scoring affair could be a prominent angle again this weekend. 

Alternatively, Ismaila Sarr could be an interesting scoring angle. The forward has netted seven in 28 league appearances this season. He’s accumulated an xG of 9.38 from an average of 1.99 shots per 90.
