The bookmakers are giving Fulham a clear advantage in the upcoming London derby. Meanwhile, the Cottagers have won only once in the last five home matches in the Premier League, while Crystal Palace look the most convincing on the road and have lost only three times since the start of the season. In addition, the Glaziers are confident in their defense at home, having conceded only one goal in six previous games in foreign arenas. Crystal Palace has not lost in three of the last four head-to-head matches and is unlikely to concede today.
