Recent respective form guides

Fulham's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Cottagers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Crystal Palace's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Eagles have hit 8 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Fulham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 18 points from 20 matches. Crystal Palace are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 20 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Fulham at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Cottagers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
