Competition: Premier League

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In a battle between two sides seeking some much-needed stability, Fulham will host London rivals Crystal Palace from behind closed doors on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Fulham might have managed to get themselves off the mark last time out, they’re firmly scrapping it out at the foot of the table. In their opening five Premier League matchups this year, they are yet to record a single top-flight victory, with one draw against four defeats, scoring four and conceding 12 in return. Collecting a points tally of just one out of a possible 15, Fulham open this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the standings and holding the third-worst attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, throwing away the lead late on and settling for a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Sheffield United, it should also be noted that the Whites have managed to record just a single goal in any of their last four matchups across all formats.

As for the visitors, failing to build off of their shock start to the 2020/2021 campaign, Crystal Palace have shown some continued inconsistencies in the final third. In their opening five Premier League matchups this season, they have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats, scoring six and conceding eight in return. Collecting a points tally of seven out of a possible 15, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 14th in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them outside of the top-10. As for their recent run of results, playing out a 1-1 draw against bitter rivals Brighton on home soil last time out, Crystal Palace have managed to win just one of their last five contests across all formats and have won just two of their previous 13 top-flight contests continuing on from last season.
