Fulham vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Fulham have claimed back-to-back 1-0 wins
• Crystal Palace have faced 15.8 xG in the Premier League this season, the second-highest total behind Ipswich
• The Eagles have lost three of their previous four games
• The Cottagers led twice in a 3-2 defeat to Palace in September, while posting a higher xG

Cottagers can claim some payback

Alvaro Arbeloa has eased concerns about his future at Fulham with back-to-back victories, and he could use another victory on Wednesday night before they start a brutal run of games.

The Cottagers face Aston Villa, Manchester City and Bournemouth in November, which is a marked step-up from their wins over promoted duo Hull and Coventry.

However, those two wins brought a marked improvement from Fulham defensively, as they conceded only 0.67 Expected Goals combined across the two games.

Visitors Crystal Palace look vulnerable ahead of their trip across the capital, following three defeats in their last four matches. The Eagles have won only two Premier League games this term, and they were outplayed in both, including a victory at Craven Cottage last month.

Fulham generated 3.14 xG to Palace’s 1.97 in a 3-2 defeat, and their defensive improvement should see them claim some revenge. The Eagles’ defensive issues continued in a 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle on Sunday, so back a solid Fulham side to reel off a third consecutive win.
