Betting prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Fulham
Crystal Palace managed to end a run of two consecutive defeats with a 2-1 win over bitter rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.
Christian Benteke’s late strike saw the Eagles steal all three points in a match dominated by the South Coast club.
Fulham extended their unbeaten run to four matches as they defeated Sheffield United 2-0.
Scott Parker’s side are now just three points away from safety, a win on Sunday would see them climb above Newcastle and out of the bottom three.
The Cottagers looked to have turned a corner having lost just three of their last 13 matches and they will be confident of moving out of the relegation zone on the weekend.

Crystal Palace vs Fulham: Recommended bets
Josh Maja to score first. The striker has already made a strong impression in west London since his January move.
Maja has netted two goals in four league appearances and is set to lead the line once again for Parker’s side on the weekend.
The Cottagers will hope that Maja will be a consistent source of goals and he will help fire them to safety.

Crystal Palace vs Fulham: Match preview
Crystal Palace secured a huge win in the M23 derby to defeat Brighton 2-1 at the Amex Stadium.
Christain Benteke’s strike in the 95th minute claimed the Eagles all three points and gives them a huge lift in what has been a difficult period.
Hodgson had seen his side suffer back-to-back defeats in their previous two matches having been beaten by both Leeds United and Burnley.
Since losing Wilfried Zaha, Palace have struggled, but on Monday, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Benteke both stepped up to the plate to end their disappointing run.
The three points against their bitter rivals saw the south London club climb into 13th and place them just three points off the top half.

Fulham four games unbeaten
Fulham claimed a massive three points last Saturday to defeat Sheffield United 1-0.
Ademola Lookman was on hand with the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.
The Cottagers have now gone four games unbeaten and have lost just three of their last 13 matches.
Their impressive upturn in form under Parker has seen them move to within just three points of safety.
A win on the weekend and a defeat for Newcastle, who host Wolves, would see them move out of the bottom three.

Palace will remain without Wilfried Zaha who is continuing to recover from a thigh injury.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was given his second start in a Palace shirt and managed to net his first goal for the club in the M23 derby.
Nathaniel Clyne has suffered a minor muscle injury and joins the Eagles’ long list of absentees.
