Brentford vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Brentford Form

Brentford are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Manchester United by a 2-1 score, before winning 3-0 against West Ham. They lost again in their most recent match, this time 3-0 against Manchester City. Brentford claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing four and losing one matches, in which they scored eight and conceded seven goals.

Most people had Brentford down among favourites for relegation, but they have surpassed all expectations. With the season coming to an end, they look destined for another season in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace have been inconsistent in their last three matches. They claimed a 2-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk, before drawing 2-2 with Everton. This little streak came to an end, when Manchester City proved too strong in a 3-0 defeat for Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads 12 goals conceded and six scored.

A top half finish in the table was the best Brentford could hope for this season, and this remains within reach for the home side.

Bookmakers have Brentford down as rather big favourites for the win against Crystal Palace. While it might prove a bit more troublesome than odds suggest, we find it equally tempting to side with the hosts.

Brentford took 29 points from their last 19 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to eight wins after scoring 29 times and conceding 24. Crystal Palace won four matches and picked up 17 points from their last 18 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League. They scored 18 goals and conceded 28. Brentford have a record of 14 wins, nine draws and 13 defeats in the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace enjoy a record of 11 wins, 11 draws and 14 defeats in the Premier League.
