Crystal Palace are flying high this season and will need to maximize games like this against Fulham if they hope to challenge for a Champions League spot.

Fulham sit 10 places below in 15th, but they’re only six points adrift. Expect both sides to find the net in this London derby.

Below are my Fulham vs. Crystal Palace predictions and EPL picks for Sunday, December 7.

My Fulham vs Crystal Palace best bet: Both teams to score (-130 at Sports Interaction)

In their previous game against Man City, Fulham scored four goals for the first time in 52 Premier League matches, yet still came out on the losing side. It was only the second time in history they’d lost a home league match while scoring 4+ goals.

However, Fulham showed impressive attacking ability in that match, so I expect them to find the net at least once against Palace as well.

Crystal Palace is a tough nut to crack, but Fulham will be hard to hold back from scoring on home soil. Only Arsenal have kept more clean sheets (eight) and conceded fewer goals (seven) in the Premier League this season than CP (seven clean sheets, 11 goals conceded). 

I'll take both teams to score in this clash.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace same-game parlay (SGP)

Both teams to score

Jean-Philippe Mateta 2+ shots on target

Samuel Chukwueze 1+ shots on target

Over 3.5 cards

Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta has never scored a Premier League goal against Fulham in five games against them. It's his most against a side without a goal (also five vs. Southampton). 

He's had 10 shots and registered an xG of 1.52 without scoring against the Cottagers, so he's heavily involved but with no luck in front of goal. I will include him in my parlay with 2+ shots on target.

Fulham’s Samuel Chukwueze is averaging a goal or assist every 46 minutes in the Premier League this season, scoring two and assisting three in just 229 minutes. It’s the best minutes per goal involvement of any player in the competition’s history (minimum 200 minutes). I see him trying to have an impact against Palace as well.

Fulham sit 7th in the bookings rankings, with Crystal behind in 12th. But there's only one yellow card separating them in the 14 games they played so far: 26 v 25. That's an average of around 1.8 bookings per game for each team. I will include bookings in my SGP to round up a juicy +800 return.
