Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a noticeable improvement in their last three matches. After enduring a three-game losing streak in the Premier League, the Eagles have shown resilience by bouncing back with a win against Tottenham Hotspur and a draw against Wolves, sandwiching a League Cup victory over Aston Villa. Their goal-scoring has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in their last six matches, while their defence has been slightly more porous, conceding 1.17 goals per game. The team has managed only one clean sheet during this period, coming in their 1-0 victory over Spurs. Interestingly, Palace's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their recent upturn in form, their 17th position in the league table suggests they still have work to do to climb away from the relegation zone.

Fulham

Fulham have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 9th in the Premier League with 15 points from 10 games. The Cottagers have displayed resilience, bouncing back from consecutive losses against Manchester City and Aston Villa to secure a draw against Everton and a win over Brentford. Their last six matches have been high-scoring affairs, with an impressive average of 3.17 goals per game and both teams finding the net in 83% of these encounters. Notably, Fulham have been involved in several thrilling contests, including a 3-2 defeat to Manchester City and a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United. While they've struggled defensively, managing just one clean sheet in this period, their attacking prowess is evident with 10 goals scored across the six games, averaging 1.67 goals per match.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Eagles struggling to find consistency at Selhurst Park. In their last six home matches, Palace have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, mirroring their overall league position of 17th. Defensively, the team has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, with only 1.17 goals scored per game on average. The standout result in this run was undoubtedly the 4-0 thrashing of Norwich in the League Cup, which represents their highest-scoring game in this period. Interestingly, two-thirds of Palace's home matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards low-scoring affairs at Selhurst Park.

Fulham

Fulham have shown resilience in their recent away form, remaining unbeaten in five of their last six matches on the road. The Cottagers have managed to secure two wins, three draws, and only one defeat in this period, demonstrating their ability to grind out results away from home. Notably, Fulham have been involved in several tight contests, with five out of their six recent away games ending with under 2.5 goals. Their defensive solidity is evident, having kept two clean sheets and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring 1.33 goals per match. The high-scoring exception was their narrow 3-2 defeat to Manchester City, which bucked the trend of their typically low-scoring affairs. Interestingly, both teams have found the net in 67% of these matches, suggesting that while Fulham are generally solid defensively, they often concede at least once when playing away.
