Crystal Palace form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Crystal Palace have to build on here at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. Crystal Palace are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

In their previous game, the manager Vieira led his Palace to a defeat away at Nottingham Forest. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Selhurst Park. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Zaha for missing a penalty kick versus Nottingham Forest in the 41st minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Defender Guéhi got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.4/10. Guéhi won 3 of 4 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Nottingham Forest.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crystal Palace have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

Palace are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Crystal Palace have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Fulham form and stats

There's been little loot from Fulham's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Fulham only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

Fulham's previous game was their home loss versus Manchester United (1-2). It is not a good sign for Fulham that their goalie Leno managed eight saves in the Manchester United fixture, but still couldn't stop a beating.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Manchester City wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Fulham have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Observe that 12 of this side's 13 latest league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

Fulham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 10 goals have been scored. Fulham have conceded 13 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Palace have won or drawn the last 5 games (3-2-0) versus Fulham.
