Fulham vs Crystal Palace: FA Cup prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds

Fulham and Crystal Palace face off this afternoon in the first FA Cup quarter-final, looking to become the first team to book their semi-final spot.

This season's competition has proven to be one of the most open in recent history, with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all being knocked out early, along with Manchester United and Tottenham.

Manchester City are the clear favourites to lift the trophy, but their underwhelming season has given others hope of ending their silverware droughts, including Fulham and Palace.

Fulham welcome their London rivals across the capital, having won six of their last eight matches in all competitions but fell to a 2-0 home defeat to Palace a little over a month ago.

Palace have won their last five away games on the trot - and all without conceding a goal. They will hope Jean-Philippe Mateta is fit to return after his horror ear injury in the last round.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Fulham vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 12.15pm GMT kick-off today, Saturday, March 29, 2025.

The match will take place at Craven Cottage in west London.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace prediction

It will likely be a nervy encounter on the banks of the River Thames with a place at Wembley is on the line. With it also being a Saturday lunchtime game straight after an international break, it's fair to predict a slightly sluggish start.

These are two evenly matched teams, both boasting good form, but are never really a guarantee of goals - especially when playing each other. This one could go beyond 90 minutes, into extra time or even a penalty shootout.

Crystal Palace to win, after extra time.
