Fulham vs Crystal Palace Odds & Predictions – 03/29/2025

A London Derby in the FA Cup quarter-finals is all the fans are asking for after an elongated international break that seemed to have lasted an entirety. The action will resume at Craven Cottage as Fulham will host Crystal Palace on Saturday, March 29, in a contest for the semi-final place and a chance to play at the Wembley Stadium.

The two sides have already met twice this season, with Marco Silva’s men emerging winners at Selhurst Park against a 10-men Crystal Palace side with Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson netting the goals. In the reverse leg, the Eagles exacted revenge on Fulham with a 2-0 win courtesy of an own goal from former Palace player Joachim Andersen, while Daniel Munoz delivered the killer blow in the 66th minute with another goal.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Preview

The first quarter-final of the 2024-25 FA Cup will be contested between two London sides who have proven that they are no lesser than any of the traditional powers in English football during the ongoing season.

Fulham

The Cottagers have made a place in the last eight purely on merit as they defeated Watford, Wigan Athletic, and Manchester United in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, respectively. The win against the Red Devils on penalties at Old Trafford was a real statement as Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee missed their respective penalties to allow the Cottagers to move on to the next round.

Reiss Nelson, Harry Wilson, and Kenny Tete remain sidelined due to their respective injuries, while Sasa Lukic is available to face Palace after serving his two-match suspension.

Crystal Palace

After mounting relatively easier challenges of non-Premier League sides, Stockport, Doncaster, and Millwall, this would be the first meeting against a Premier League opposition for Palace whose credentials would be tested massively against Silva’s side.

Jean Phillipe Mateta is still recovering from a head injury and might only play a part from the bench if Oliver Gasner wants the forward to be fully fit for the remaining fixtures in the season. Cheick Doucore, Chadi Riad, and Joel Ward are ruled out from the ongoing season and Palace will have to do without these three players against the Cottagers on Saturday.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Under/Over Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Total goals Over 2.5 @ +106 (MGM Bet): With either Rodrigo Muniz or Raul Jimenez posing as a threat up front, Crystal Palace defenders would be busy thwarting the striker allowing the likes of Adama Traore, Alex Iwobi, and Andreas Pereira to make use of the freedom and net some goals past the Palace defense. With Mateta potentially coming off the bench for the crucial fixture to contribute for the Eagles, the match could come to life in the second half.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Player Picks

Eberechi Eze (To Score a Goal @ +360 as per MGM Bet): With the leading goalscorer for Crystal Palace in the ongoing FA Cup season, Daniel Munoz starting up front, Eberechi Eze would get a bit extra space in the midfield and wide areas to exploit during the high-pressure fixture. Eze has scored only 5 goals in the ongoing season and would certainly be looking to better those stats after scoring his first goal for England against Latvia on Monday.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace Match Prediction

The Eagles have already won away to Fulham 2-0 in the last week of February in the Premier League, recording a fourth straight away win, and Gasner’s side would be pretty confident of their chances in Saturday’s London Derby. On the other hand, the hosts also had a great February, and with the fans backing them, Fulham’s chances of making the FA Cup semi-final would certainly be on the higher side.

Our Final Prediction: The match could go to penalties, considering the form displayed by both sides in recent months, and Fulham might edge Palace to qualify for the semi-final.
