London derby action takes place in the Premier League this weekend, as Crystal Palace look to maintain their excellent recent form under Oliver Glasner. Meanwhile, Fulham will be hoping for a return to winning ways in front of their home fans.
Premier League Preview
The decision to appoint Oliver Glasner at Palace has been one that has been warmly welcomed by fans of the team. The Eagles have picked up their form under the German, and they have put any niggling doubts that they could get sucked into the relegation battle behind them. Their recent form is incredibly progressive at this stage after winning each of their last three in the Premier League.
Palace were reliable once again in their most recent outing in the competition after recording a 2-0 home success against Newcastle. Jean-Philippe Mateta was the star for the Eagles in that success after netting twice. It was a welcome victory for the home side, and it means that they have now won three straight matches in the Premier League for the first time since April 2023.
Fulham find themselves just a place above the Eagles in the current standings, but they boast a significantly better goal difference. The Cottagers have been in rocky form over the previous month after suffering three defeats in their last four matches. Over that period, they have recorded just a single victory in the competition.
Fulham were last in action on Sunday, but they were easily beaten at home by Liverpool. That defeat means that the Cottagers have now suffered losses in each of their last two at Craven Cottage, and they haven’t lost more consecutive matches in front of their home fans since May 2021.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace Head to Head
Fulham have recorded just a single victory across their last eight Premier League matches against the Eagles. However, four matches over that period have ended in draws. Meanwhile, Palace have gone four visits to Craven Cottage without having suffered a defeat since their 3-1 away loss in January 2005.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
These two London rivals come into this round of matches in contrasting recent form. It could pay to side with the recent winning sequence of the Eagles ahead of this fixture, as they chase a second straight away league success in a London derby following their win over West Ham last Sunday.
