Command Analysis
Fulham
Fulham had a difficult and uncertain start to the season, and they couldn't win in the opening six rounds of the Premier League. Nevertheless, in the last two matches, the cottagers took advantage of a not very difficult calendar and achieved victories over Hull and Coventry with the same score 1:0. Thanks to these successes, the Londoners have left the relegation zone and occupy 15th place in the table. In the League Cup, in the 1/16 finals, Alvaro Arbeloa's team beat West Ham (2:3), and before that they confidently dealt with Wimbledon (3:0).
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace, as expected, has not been able to withstand a busy schedule of games since the beginning of the season, and there is clearly not enough depth in the squad. In the Premier League, the Eagles have scored only seven points in eight rounds and are in 17th place, only one point away from the relegation zone. In the Europa League, he has four points and an intermediate 15th place in the table. In the last four matches, taking into account all the tournaments, Pierre Sage's team has not won a single victory. In the League Cup, they managed to beat Middlesbrough from the Championship (3-0) at the stage of the 1/16 finals.
Fulham have not beaten Crystal Palace in their last six face-to-face meetings and today they have a great opportunity to break this streak. The cottagers have improved, won the last two matches, and they don't have as busy a schedule as the Eagles. Crystal Palace has noticeably slowed down, there is no depth in the squad, in the last four matches, taking into account all tournaments, there were three defeats. We believe that the hosts will take advantage of the opponent's problems and achieve victory in regular time.
Our betting tip is for Fulham to win by a factor of 1.85
