Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Selhurst Park will host Saturday’s London derby between Crystal Palace and Fulham. The Eagles head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton and they are surely capable of matching Fulham at home ground. As Palace outplayed Tottenham in their last home game, we predict that they are going to find the net in the local derby against Fulham. Will Hughes serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, with Cheick Doucoure likely to step up. Star player Eberechi Eze remains in the recovery room.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, showed character in a 2-1 win over Brentford, with substitute Harry Wilson scoring a brace in the stoppage time. The Wales international should be recalled to the starting XI, while fellow midfielder Sasa Lukic remains on the sidelines with a shoulder problem. Given Fulham’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
Highlighted Player (Eberechi Eze):
Eberechi Eze is a talented football player who was born in Greenwich, England on June 29, 1998. Eze started his youth career at Millwall and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, signing a one-year contract with the capital club.
Eze scored 4 goals in 42 appearances for the Hoops in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, while providing 4 assists for his teammates.His main position is attacking midfield, but he is capable of playing as both right and left midfielder as well. Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.
Given his place of birth, the 173-cm tall midfielder was eligible to play for the England U20 team and he made his debut for the Three Lions on October 11, 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Italy. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
