Fulham vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips & Best Value Bets

For the second weekend on the spin, there will be no Premier League football. After the UEFA Nations League last weekend, the FA Cup takes centre stage. On Saturday, early in the afternoon, Fulham and Crystal Palace will battle it out for a place in the semis at Craven Cottage.

Both teams head into this fixture off the back of wins last time out, so we should see two confident teams fighting hard to make the last four. Read on for our Fulham vs Crystal Palace betting tips and best value bets.

This game takes place on 20/03/2025 at Craven Cottage. Kick off will be at 12:15 GMT.

Two goal bets appeal as the London based teams compete at Craven Cottage.

Both Teams to Score

For starters, prompting a game where each side goes for it is the fact both teams will surely see this as a big opportunity to reach an FA Cup semi final at Wembley, something that the Cottagers haven’t done since 2002, while the Eagles have reached just two FA Cup semis in the last 29 years.

What’s more, we’ve got two sides that have been in solid scoring form in recent times. The hosts have scored at least once in each of their last four games, scoring two or more in two of those, while the visitors have scored in 100% of their matches in 2025.

Sure, when the pair recently met at Craven Cottage, it was the Eagles who found the net twice, leaving the hosts frustrated without any points and without a goal, but we shouldn’t let this result cloud our judgement.

With Fulham failing to find the net in just one of their last eight in all competitions, and with the Palace boys notching in each of their last eight, ‘Both Teams to Score’ looks a little generously priced for my liking.

Over 2.5 Goals

It would also be easy to assume that this will be a low-scoring game, and it may well be, though is a lack of goals quite as likely as the early odds suggest? Again, like above, I really don’t think so.

We know that both teams can score goals, there can be no denying that, with the Cottagers scoring at least twice in five of their last eight. Five of those eight have also contained at least three match goals. The Eagles have scored at least twice in each of their last five on the road, which also bolsters my claims that a relatively high-scoring game is perhaps a little more likely than odds of even-money (2.00) would have us believe.

Recap - Fulham vs Crystal Palace best value bets

The table below shows the odds available for our value betting tips at the time of writing, as well as what I consider to be fair odds for these selections. It’s important to note that to take value, you should be taking odds that are bigger than the fair odds. If bigger odds are not available, then there’s no value, which means no bet.
