Fulham vs Crystal Palace Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th September 2026

As the early season favourites, Fulham will look to justify their title credentials this coming Saturday when they take on Crystal Palace for a round 3 match in the Premier League.

Fulham are placed 16th with zero points after two matches. Crystal Palace occupy a position as 19th in the league on zero points.

Fulham have nothing to show for the first couple of matches in the Premier League and going into this round three they will be eager to get off the mark.

Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Fulham and Crystal Palace are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at Craven Cottage.

Fulham scored nine times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.9 goals a game. They conceded 12 and managed three clean sheets.

The Eagles travel to their next Premier League match, averaging a lowly 0.9 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of nine goals, while also conceding 22 goals. That amounts to an average of 2.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Fulham played The Eagles. The pair finished even in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Fulham Form

Showing inconsistent form, Fulham lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-3 against Chelsea, before beating AFC Wimbledon 3-0. The joy was short-lived, as Sunderland proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. Fulham won three of their previous six matches at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring eight goals to six against.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano. Unable to follow that up, they went down 2-0 against Everton, before suffering another loss in a 1-4 match against Manchester City. Crystal Palace managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 14 time and letting in six.

It seems both Crystal Palace and Fulham have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.
