Game Preview
Crystal Palace will be aiming to respond in the Premier League this weekend after suffering defeats in each of their last three. Their most recent loss was suffered at home against Tottenham on Sunday. Palace have looked incredibly fatigued in recent weeks, and a third game in eight days is unlikely to see them in their best light.
Meanwhile, Fulham have been in contrasting recent form, winning each of their last three to move level on points with Crystal Palace. The Cottagers rode their luck in their latest outing, but they struck late to record a 1-0 win at West Ham United.
Palace have underperformed when playing on New Year’s Day, failing to win in their last six. Meanwhile, Fulham’s record isn’t much stronger after losing four of their previous six.
Fulham’s current three-game winning streak is their best since the 2022-23 season. Their performances on the road have also been solid, avoiding defeat in four of their nine this term. Defensively, they have also been reliable away from Craven Cottage, keeping clean sheets in 11% of their fixtures.
Crystal Palace vs. Fulham Picks
Crystal Palace looked like a very tired team on Sunday, and they have had limited recovery time before this clash with Fulham. The Cottagers dominate the head-to-head record, and an away win could be the value play based on the odds available.
