Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------
Crystal Palace will look to turn their fortunes around as they host Fulham on New Year’s Day in the Premier League. The team has struggled for wins recently, entering 2026 on a challenging note. They have not beaten Fulham at Selhurst Park since February 2019, adding pressure to the matchup.

Team Analysis:
Crystal Palace enter 2026 struggling, having failed to win in their last five matches and slipping to ninth in the Premier League. Their home form is particularly poor, with no goals scored in the last three Selhurst Park meetings against Fulham. Meanwhile, Fulham arrive in strong form, having won their last three league games and seeking a fourth consecutive away victory.

Player Situation:
Chris Richards is a doubt for Palace due to a foot injury, leaving uncertainty over their preferred back three. Several other key players are also sidelined, including Jefferson Lerma and Ismaila Sarr, who is at AFCON. For Fulham, Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson are in form, while multiple squad members remain unavailable due to injury or international duty.

Result Prediction:
Crystal Palace controlled possession against Spurs but struggled to convert chances, reflecting ongoing attacking issues. They are expected to score against Fulham, yet their poor home form and New Year’s Day record remain concerns. Fulham enter the match confident, adding pressure to Palace’s efforts.

Predicted Result: Crystal Palace 1-2 Fulham.
