Crystal Palace take on the visitors Fulham in the round 17 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 26th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace are actively preparing for the restart of the season. The London club played four friendly matches at once before joining the Premier League games, starting with Boxing day. However, the results of the team of the wards of Patrick Vieier were not even outstanding at all. The team could not win for five games in a row, only in the last friendly match beating Valladolid 2:1. It is worth noting that Crystal Palace play better at home than on the road. Regardless of the outcome of the matches, the London club in 7 of the last 10 home battles broke the bet on the total over 2.5 goals.

Fulham have definitely performed better than expected in the first half of the season. The capital team meets Boxing day, being on the 9th line in the standings with a six-point margin from the relegation zone. And this, despite the decline in the last games before the pause at the 2022 World Cup. Indeed, Fulham have not known the joy of winning for four games in a row. Obviously, the London team will try to correct this misunderstanding in the next derby. We note in a separate line the fact that in the last six away matches of the season at once, Fulham made a bet on over 2.5 goals.
Over the last five official matches, Crystal Palace have not lost a derby to Fulham, although sometimes there have been draws. At the same time, in four of the last seven head-to-head battles, the teams broke the bet on the total over 2.5 goals. Bookmakers are on the side of Crystal Palace, although the club is not considered a clear favorite for the derby. The victory of Patrick Vieira's team is estimated at 2.11 with 3.64 for a draw and 3.58 for the success of Fulham. In a match of almost equal opponents, this time you should not expect cautious actions. Both clubs are interested in winning, and a long pause in the season will provoke a mistake in defense. So this time, Crystal Palace and Fulham are really ready to put on a real blazing derby.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
