Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Premier League clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy fancies the draw, with these two sides looking evenly matched.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Draw and Gonzalo Garcia to score anytime | 11/1 | Both teams have started the season with leaky defences, Fulham conceding four in their two games and Palace shipping six in theirs, so goals at both ends look likely in a fixture that has often been tight between these two, including two 1-1 draws in the last six meetings. Garcia is central to the draw-plus-goal angle: he leads the Fulham line, is already off the mark with a goal in his two starts, and has six shots and 0.87 expected goals to his name against a Palace defence currently conceding three a game. |
| Jefferson Lerma and Sander Berge to be booked | 11/1 | The central-midfield battle should be niggly, and both are physical operators. Lerma is the standout: a combative Palace enforcer with seven yellow cards in the sample and a clear habit of picking up late bookings, exactly the profile referees punish. Berge patrols the base of the Fulham midfield with 36 fouls committed and five yellows, so he brings the fouls and the cards in a derby likely to be fought hard through the middle. |

How Fulham go into the game
Fulham were beaten 1-0 at Sunderland last time out, a frustrating result. Craven Cottage is where they must build their season.
The Cottagers are well-organised and dangerous at home. A response against Palace is the aim.
How Crystal Palace go into the game
Crystal Palace were hammered 4-1 at home by Manchester City last time out, a chastening result. They travel to west London needing to regroup.
Palace are typically well-drilled and awkward, but they were blown away last time. A far tighter display is needed.
