In brief

Final score: Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace. Eighteenth-placed Fulham hosted sixteenth-placed Crystal Palace. Both sides arrived in poor form. Fulham had lost every home game this season and Crystal Palace had won one of their two away games. Crystal Palace had one of the league's leakiest defences. Crystal Palace had much the better of their earlier meetings. Both squads had similar injury lists. The model saw little between the sides.

Key factors in prediction

Statistics baseline: 2026 season
Fulham vs Crystal Palace
Attack strength
0.77 / 1.06
Defence strength
0.83 / 0.56
Form factor

Head-to-head

Injury factor

No units: every number compares a team with an average Premier League side, which scores 1.00. Attack is a team's scoring rate at home or away (built from goals and expected goals) against the league average, so 1.16 means 16% more than average. Defence is the same for goals conceded, turned round so higher is better. Head-to-head and injuries nudge each side's expected goals: 1.15 adds 15%, 0.85 takes 15% off, 1.00 changes nothing.
