Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Fulham vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips
After a tough start to the season, Crystal Palace have been in excellent form since Christmas, suffering just two defeats in their last 15 matches across all competitions.
The Eagles are soaring with five consecutive wins, including an impressive 4-1 victory over Aston Villa and a 2-0 win at Fulham.
Palace have been especially dominant on the road, winning their last six away matches in a row, all without conceding a single goal. In fact, their only away defeat in 13 matches since October came in a narrow 3-2 loss to Arsenal.
Given Crystal Palace's stunning form, I'm backing Oliver Glasner's side to secure another away win this weekend at 11/5 with Midnite.
Palace will have star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta available again as he makes his return from the horrific injury he sustained against Millwall.
The powerful and dynamic forward has netted eight goals in 10 games in 2025, with five of those coming away from home, including braces in 2-0 victories at Old Trafford and the London Stadium.
Known for his physical presence, strong aerial ability, and clinical finishing, Mateta has been a key figure in Palace's attack, using his pace and movement to exploit spaces behind defences and create goal-scoring opportunities. At 9/5, he looks like a solid bet to mark his return with another goal.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace Lineups
Sasa Lukic returns from suspension for Fulham, who will be without the injured trio of Harry Wilson, Kenny Tete, and Reiss Nelson.
The big news for Crystal Palace is the return of Jean-Philippe Mateta who will take to the field with a protective mask.
