Crystal Palace's recent form has been inconsistent, with fluctuating performances in both attack and defense, leading to a lack of stability. Their home form this season has been somewhat underwhelming, with several matches yielding less than ideal results. Their attack has been struggling, and their defense has shown signs of weakness. Multiple key players are out due to injury, impacting the team's strength. Having just finished a Champions League game, their home advantage is yet to be fully realized this season, with their first home game resulting in a loss. Offensively, they've scored 5 goals in 3 games, but only 1 in the last two, indicating a recent decline in efficiency. A strong forward (3 goals in 3 games) is their attacking linchpin, but the team's overall offensive state needs adjustment. Defensively, they've conceded 4 goals in 3 matches, and their defensive stability has been lacking, conceding goals in consecutive games. Can Crystal Palace overcome Fulham despite missing key players? Fulham will be missing key players like Dembélé and Mendes, which has significantly reduced the team's ability to break through, with a drop in their average of 2.3 successful dribbles. Their strategy, which relies on crosses from the flanks, is now more difficult to execute. In contrast, although their opponent has several injuries, the return of key midfielder Cherki may inspire greater determination, taking advantage of the defensive weaknesses on the flanks. The head coach has instructed the team to prioritize defense, seeking a satisfactory result in this match. Can Fulham beat Crystal Palace?
