A London derby always brings extra intensity, and Crystal Palace enter this one hoping to end their poor home run after taking just 0.25 PPG at Selhurst Park this season. Anyhow, we predict a 1-1 draw as the two teams seem to be evenly matched. The Eagles average only 0.75 goals per home match and have failed to win in four straight, while conceding 2.00 on average. Their overall BTTS rate sits at 60%, but defensive lapses continue to cost them. Palace’s expected goals at home (1.55) shows they can create, yet the end product remains inconsistent. Ismaila Sarr is away on international duty, but there are no fresh injury worries after the 1-0 loss to Tottenham.
Fulham, on the other hand, head into the local derby in far stronger form, collecting 1.80 PPG overall and showing balance with the same return both home and away. The Cottagers score 1.40 goals per away game, concede 1.40, and have seen BTTS land in 60% of away fixtures. Fulham also keep clean sheets in 20% of their road matches and maintain competitive expected goals levels, indicating stable attacking output. Bassey, Chukwueze, and Iwobi are on international duty, though their absence did not affect Fulham’s 1-0 win over West Ham.
Supported by Palace’s 60% overall BTTS and Fulham’s 60% away BTTS rate, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, with additional value on Over 3.5 yellow cards (local derby) and Half-Time Draw.
This Premier League match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 17:30.
