Fulham take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the quarterfinal match of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Saturday, March 29th at Craven Cottage, London.
Fulham has made progress this season. The Cottagers can truly be considered a "manager’s team." Marco Silva took charge when they were still in the Championship and immediately guided them to promotion by winning the division. What set him apart from his predecessors was his ability to keep the club competitive in the Premier League, securing mid-table finishes despite losing key players like Aleksandar Mitrović and, last summer, João Palhinha. Moreover, this season, Fulham has been pushing for a European spot. They have already secured 12 wins and 45 points—just three fewer than Manchester City. Their FA Cup run has also been impressive: after eliminating Watford and Wigan, they knocked out Manchester United, initially squandering their lead in regular time but ultimately winning on penalties. Given their strong home form and recent defensive improvements, they will be confident of advancing further.

Crystal Palace have followed a similar trajectory, as they remained comfortable mid-table under Roy Hodgson for years. However, ambitions grew, and the club moved on from Hodgson—only to bring him back to fix the damage caused by Patrick Vieira. It seemed like history might repeat itself with Oliver Glasner, who started well after his arrival but struggled to win matches until winter. Hodgson was even spotted in the stands, fueling speculation about a return. However, results took a sharp turn in 2025, and Palace have been winning consistently, climbing to 12th place with 39 points—safe from relegation but too far to challenge for Europe. This makes the FA Cup an appealing priority, though their path so far has been easy, with wins over lower-league opponents Stockport, Doncaster, and Millwall. Facing Fulham will be their first real test in the competition.
After three consecutive draws, the teams exchanged 2-0 away wins in the Premier League this season. Both teams are eager to reach the semifinals and will approach this game with full commitment—back both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
