Crystal Palace are experiencing a dip in form, having lost their last match at home 0-1 to Tottenham Hotspur. They are winless in their last five matches across all competitions, including three consecutive league defeats, scoring only two goals and conceding eight, indicating a significant decline in defensive efficiency. Currently, Crystal Palace holds a record of 7 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, accumulating 26 points, placing them 11th in the standings. Their home record shows only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, with a win rate of just 22.2%. Crystal Palace has been juggling both European competition and league play this season. They are currently mid-table in the league and, although not facing immediate relegation pressure, their chances of qualifying for European competition are diminishing. This match at home is crucial for them to gain points and boost team morale. Fulham, on the other hand, benefits from focusing solely on the league. They are comfortably positioned mid-table, and this season they have shown a tendency to perform well against stronger teams but struggle against those battling relegation. Playing away against Crystal Palace, Fulham needs to secure points to consolidate their position in the standings and also hopes to overcome their recent psychological disadvantage against Crystal Palace. Several key players for Crystal Palace are dealing with fitness issues, while the away team has had more time to rest.
