Crystal Palace vs Fulham Match Prediction
2025 was a memorable year for Crystal Palace but the way they ended it was disappointing - with the Tottenham defeat extending their winless run to five matches.
The Eagles have struggled at home all season, winning just twice and only once - against Brentford - in the last three months.
Fulham are enjoying their best winning run - three matches - for almost two years after the late victory at West Ham moved them into the top-half for the first time since September.
The Cottagers have a poor record against Palace in recent years, losing the last three, although their last three victories dating back to 2013 have all come at Selhurst Park.
