This Carabao Cup tie comes at a moment when the two teams have just finished their league games in contrasting fashion. Fulham have just won 1-0, while Crystal Palace have just lost 0-2 in the league as well, but the current form on the pitch is clearly different. Fulham have won two games in a row without conceding a single goal in either, while Crystal Palace have not won in 4 games and their defence is leaking badly, having conceded 19 goals in 8 league games. Fulham at home play with stability, dominate possession and create chances consistently, while Crystal Palace have to carry problems from both the league and European competition. A defence that concedes easily forces them to sit back more than they should, but their attack still has some counter-attacking moments to threaten. This game is likely to open with Fulham controlling and attacking, while Crystal Palace wait to counter. If Fulham cannot break through in the first half, the second half should see a more open game with goals, which is the path where Fulham have the advantage.
