Fulham vs Crystal Palace: Both teams to score - Yes
Fulham's 2.0 xG at home meets Palace's 1.35 away, setting a 65% chance of over 2.5 goals and a 64% likelihood both sides will score.
Both clubs come in with contrasting recent form – Fulham has managed a win, a draw and a loss in their last three league outings, while Palace has slipped to two straight defeats. The fixture pits a high‑scoring home side against a defensively porous away team, making the goal‑mouth the central storyline.

Form Guide — Last 5
Fulham
Fulham's recent form includes a 1-1 draw at Wolves (away) and a 2-0 home win over Newcastle, showing they can both hold and create chances. The 2-3 home loss to Chelsea highlights defensive frailties, which underpins the expectation that Palace will still find a goal despite their poor away record.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have endured a 0-2 away loss to Everton and a 1-4 home defeat to Manchester City, indicating they struggle both offensively and defensively. The lack of goals in these matches underscores their difficulty in scoring, yet the model still predicts they will breach Fulham's net at least once.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Palace has won four times, including a 2-1 victory this season, suggesting a recent edge that supports the BTTS outlook despite Fulham's home advantage.
