Fulham vs Crystal Palace Tips
Tip 1
Since 7th December, seven of Palace’s 14 league games have seen three or more goals, with their last four away trips all just missing this mark with two goals in each, while Fulham’s home PL games have seen a 60% success rate for over 2.5 goals this term.
The two have one win each in this season’s head-to-heads and this matchup is set to be their most competitive yet as they’re 4th and 3rd respectively in the form table currently; Palace have netted 11 over the last six and Fulham nine.
Tip 2
Pereira has created more chances (18) than any other player in this season’s FA Cup.
The Brazilian looks a good bet to provide a goal for his team on Saturday, averaging 5.14 shot-creating actions per 90 and 0.25 assists per 90 – giving this bet some value at odds of 9/2.
It looks an even better proposition with the possibility of him being pushed further forward into the number 10 role to accommodate the return of Sasa Lukic in a midfield two.
He’s also contributed two goals in his last three matches and provided an assist in four of his last seven, including setting up Rodrigo Muniz in the 4th round win over Wigan Athletic.
Fulham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Marco Silva’s side overcame Manchester United in a tight penalty shootout at Old Trafford in the previous round, while Saturday’s hosts are 1-1 in the Premier League since victory, losing to Brighton before defeating Tottenham at Craven Cottage.
Fulham will welcome back Sasa Lukic following his two-game suspension for accruing 10 yellow cards. The Cottagers are still, however, unable to call upon the injured Kenny Tete, Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson.
Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz.
Crystal Palace Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
A host of Palace players may be fresher than their PL counterparts for this clash after participating in a 1-0 friendly win over Eliteserien outfit Hamarkameratene during the international break to follow on from four straight victories for Oliver Glasner’s men.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is set to make a return to the pitch from a serious ear injury sustained during his team’s last outing in this competition against Millwall. That means the visitors should only be missing Joel Wart, Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad for this quarter-final tie.
Crystal Palace Predicted XI: Turner; Richards, Guehi, Lacroix; Munoz, Hughes, Lerma, Mitchell; Eze, Sarr; Mateta.
