Fulham vs Crystal Palace

Fulham have struggled for consistency in their recent outings, recording two wins and three losses across their last six matches in all competitions. Their home form has mirrored this volatility, with two victories and three defeats in their most recent appearances at Craven Cottage. Crystal Palace arrive in London on a difficult run, having failed to secure a win in their three most recent competitive matches. Their away form has also been challenging, as they have not tasted victory in their two latest travels.

Recent history favours the visitors, with Crystal Palace coming out on top in three of the last five meetings between these two clubs. Fulham managed to secure one victory in that sequence, while the remaining match ended in a draw.

• Fulham are without T. Cairney, while H. Larsson and L. De Fougerolles remain in doubt.
• Crystal Palace are missing C. Riad and J. Mateta due to injury.
• B. Chilwell, H. Ahanor, and I. Sarr are all listed as in doubt for Crystal Palace.

Neither side has found their rhythm in the opening stages of the league season, and both are currently dealing with multiple player absences that could impact their preparations. Given the current form and the challenges both teams face in finding consistency, it is difficult to lean toward either side.
