Brentford vs Crystal Palace Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 18th August 2024

Brentford kept themselves free of relegation, and that is the best, you could say about last season in the Premier League for the home side. From a bottom six finish they will be hoping to improve as they open another campaign when welcoming Crystal Palace on Sunday.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Brentford and Crystal Palace as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Brentford step into their next home match this coming Sunday having scored a nice average of 1.6 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 16 goals, while also allowing 13 goals against. That is an average of 1.3 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet three times in those matches.

Crystal Palace show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.4 times on average per game. They scored 24 goals and conceded ten, an average of one a game. They held on for a clean sheet in four of these.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 3-1 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Sunday.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Brentford Form

Brentford went through their last three matches with a 0-0 draw against Fulham, a 1-2 win against Bournemouth and a 2-4 defeat against Newcastle. 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 seven and conceded seven goals.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Crystal Palace will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Manchester United, who were defeated by 4-0. Then, Wolverhampton got outclassed in a 1-3 win, before beating Aston Villa by 5-0. Crystal Palace won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and seven scored.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Crystal Palace might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

It seems both Crystal Palace and Brentford have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Sunday, and we are rooting for goals.
