Head-to-Head
Both teams are level on 13 points after nine Premier League games (Palace 10th, Brentford 11th on goal difference).
Crystal Palace (home)
- Palace have slipped a little in recent weeks with back-to-back defeats to AEK Larnaca (0-1, home, Conference League) and Arsenal (1-0, away, Premier League) and have failed to win their last two at Selhurst Park (D1, L1), although they are still unbeaten there in the league (W1, D3).
- Oliver Glasner has been busy stamping his mark on Palace since taking over in February 2024, installing an exciting 3-4-2-1 system with high-energy counter-pressing and explosive tempo changes.
Brentford (away)
- Brentford have also had mixed results on the road, but the Bees have split their last two away fixtures (D1, W1) and claimed a vital 2-0 victory at West Ham in their previous trip.
- Brentford operate in a 4-2-3-1 with a greater focus on possession, structure, and selective pressing.
Key Players
- Jean-Philippe Mateta has been prolific for Palace with five Premier League goals in his last nine appearances.
- Igor Thiago has scored six in nine Premier League matches for Brentford.
Betting Insights
The Under 2.5 goals odds sit at a slightly against the grain 1.93 , but with both goalkeepers unlikely to have a comfortable afternoon, we think that our Crystal Palace vs Brentford betting tips recommend Both Teams To Score (BTTS) at 2.1 as the best value wager.
Prediction
- This Crystal Palace vs Brentford prediction is influenced by Palace’s recent form and Brentford’s inconsistent away record (W1, L3, 8 goals conceded), suggesting that the hosts can edge this derby game, but there’s plenty of value in the odds.
- Palace are odds-on favourites at 1.86 with Brentford 4.0 to get the win, so we’ll take the home side to edge what should be a fiery matchup between two London sides with no love lost.
