Crystal Palace vs Fulham Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Eagles are on a three-match winning streak against the Cottagers.

Crystal Palace are now going to lock horns with Fulham for their matchweek 19 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. Selhurst Park is going to witness an interesting contest between these teams.

The Eagles are currently on a poor run of form. They have performed poorly in their last few matches. Crystal Palace faced a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in their previous league outing. Despite being at home for their next game, it is not going to be a very pleasing situation for them. They need to put up a top show and return to winning ways.

Fulham FC have secured back-to-back wins in their last two matches. They first secured a win against Nottingham Forest and then edged past West Ham United. The Cottagers are now placed 10th on the Premier League points table. Even though they will be the visiting side, their confidence levels will be on the positive side.

Kick-off:

• Location: London, England
• Stadium: Selhurst Park
• Date: Thursday, January 1
• Kick-off Time: 11:00 p.m. IST/ 05:30 p.m. GMT/ 12:30 p.m. ET/ 09:30 a.m. PT

Form:

Crystal Palace: L-D-L-D-L

Fulham: L-W-L-W-W

Players to Watch

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)

The Frenchman will be looking to step up his game and get the Eagles back on winning ways. Even though he has not scored any goals in the last five games for Crystal Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta remains one of their main men in the final third. In 18 Premier League appearances this season, he has found the net seven times.

Raul Jimenez (Fulham)

The 34-year-old has scored a goal in back-to-back games for Fulham FC. He was the sole goal scorer in both of the last two matches. Raul Jimenez will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front yet again and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. He has six goal involvements in 17 league games this season.
