Crystal Palace return to action with a tough game against London rivals Fulham. Palace have been very active during the World Cup break playing four friendlies scoring in three of those games. Fulham have had a much needed rest after only playing once during the break. Fulham hit the ground running on their return to the top flight but struggled in their final three games picking up just a single point (1D, 2L).
Crystal Palace come into this game full of confidence when playing in front of a home crowd after winning their previous 3 games at Selhurst Park – losing only one in 6. (4W, 1D, 1L).
Both sides sit on 19 points coming into this game and pressure will be on Fulham to bounce back with a positive result. A lot of emphasis will be on striker Aleksander Mitrovic to provide the goals after scoring 9 of Fulham’s 24 goals this season.
I favour Crystal Palace in this one, their home record and attacking style of football may be too much for Fulham’s defence who have conceded 26 goals in 15 games.
Bet Prediction: Crystal Palace
