Crystal Palace or Draw

Confidence68%

Crystal Palace have demonstrated sustained success when travelling to Craven Cottage, remaining unbeaten across their last six away encounters against Fulham with four wins and two draws. Both teams have endured difficult starts to the campaign with two losses from two matches, but Fulham have failed to beat Palace on home soil in all recent meetings. Although Palace have conceded six goals in their opening two games, Fulham's own defensive frailties, conceding four goals in two fixtures, keep the match competitive and give the visitors a solid chance to secure at least a point.
