Omo, football no dey carry last for Naija o! As we dey enter 2026, Fulham wan make dem do am big for Selhurst Park on January 1. Dem no just dey thrash people back-to-back, dem don get two straight wins for league, abi na wetin dem dey call am?
Last week, Fulham carry three points wey dem take beat West Ham for road 1-0. Dem don comot from 12th position wey dem dey, now dey sit down for 10th. Na so e be! Dem dey chase revenge from Crystal Palace wey don manage chop dem well well before, for December 7, dem fall hand for home with 2-1 loss.
As e be now, Palace just dey fresh since dem don dey play for home back-to-back, and dem wan show Fulham say dem be the kings for Selhurst Park. Dem plenty factors wey fit make this match sweet. Fulham no dey shine for away games like dem dey do for home, and dat one fit make dem run kata-kata.
But no forget say Palace no dey spoil chance for home. Their current record dey sweet as dem sit down for 8th position with 26 points from 17 matches, thanks to their strong defense way no dey leak goals anyhow, dem don collect only 19 goals this season.
On top that matter, Crystal Palace dey lead the table for home defense with just 1.12 goals wey dem dey concede per game since dey don dey play at home. Fulham on top their side, na wah! Dey dey collect goals pass dem dey score—dem don concede 26 goals so far!
Crystal Palace defense na serious matter to reckon with, plus dem get Mateta wey dey lead dem attack with 7 goals from 1,382 minutes! Dis guy fit use play chop Fulham defense like e be salad bowl on a good day, no joke! And for Fulham side, dem get Harry Wilson, but dem still dey worry say their defense fit run down anytime. Dem go need strategies wey go fit stop Palace attack, otherwise dem go end up collecting goals again.
So who go win dis match? My prediction be say Crystal Palace go carry the three points—e go tight sha, but with their current form, dem suppose fit show Fulham say na dem be the boss as we dey enter new year. E go be match wey plenty people go want see, abeg no miss am!
