Crystal Palace vs Brentford Náhled

Two sides level on 13 Premier League points but heading in opposite directions clash at Selhurst Park, as an out-of-sorts Crystal Palace host a buoyant Brentford. The Eagles are enduring a sticky spell, while the Bees arrive full of confidence after a run of strong results and an impressive cup win in midweek.

Crystal Palace’s October struggles continued last weekend as they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against league leaders Arsenal. That loss extended their winless run in the Premier League to three games (D1, L2), leaving them in mid-table and searching for a spark to revive their early-season momentum. Manager Oliver Glasner remains optimistic, pointing to his side’s effort and structure, but results have clearly dipped since their bright start to the campaign.

Still, there are positives to build on. The defeat to Arsenal was Palace’s first London derby loss since the corresponding fixture against Brentford last season (W6, D2 in between). Furthermore, the Eagles have made Selhurst Park a difficult place to visit, going unbeaten in their last ten Premier League home matches (W5, D5). That defensive resilience and home comfort could prove crucial as they look to regain form.

Brentford, meanwhile, are trending upwards. The Bees followed up their thrilling 3-2 league victory over Liverpool last weekend with a resounding 5-0 win against Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night. That momentum has lifted morale and kept them just outside the top half of the table after winning three of their last four Premier League fixtures (L1).

What’s more, Keith Andrews’ men continue to showcase remarkable character. Their win against Liverpool was the seventh time since the start of last season that they’ve won a league match despite conceding at least twice — more than any other side in the division. That ability to recover from setbacks underlines the belief and fighting spirit within the Brentford camp.

However, their away form remains inconsistent. The Bees have managed just one win in their last five league trips (D1, L3), with that solitary success coming against struggling West Ham. Improving their output on the road will be essential if they are to sustain their push towards European places.

Historie Head-to-Head

Brentford have enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture in recent years, losing just one of the eight Premier League meetings between the sides (W2, D5). The Bees completed a league double over Palace last season, winning 2-1 both home and away, and will be aiming for a third consecutive H2H victory for the first time in their top-flight history.

The two teams have been evenly matched in terms of entertainment, too — each of the last six encounters has seen both sides find the net, with Brentford narrowly edging the recent head-to-head record (W2, D3, L1).

Horké statistiky a série

• Each of Palace’s last three league games have produced a goal between the 35th and 40th minute.
• Palace have received exactly one yellow card in four of their last five home league matches.
• Brentford are yet to score an away league goal in the first 15 minutes of either half this season.
• No team has opened the scoring more often in the Premier League this term than Brentford (seven).

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players

For Palace, right-back Daniel Muñoz has been an unlikely attacking outlet this season. Both of his goals have opened the scoring between the 30th and 40th minutes — a remarkable coincidence given Palace’s recent timing trends.

He also contributed an assist in their last home league fixture. His overlapping runs and end product could again be decisive against Brentford’s narrow back line.

Brentford's Dango Ouattara is the man in form after finding the net against Liverpool, continuing his run of opening the scoring in three consecutive Premier League matches — all inside the first 15 minutes.

The winger’s pace and directness have become vital to Brentford’s quick-starting approach, and he will be a major threat on the counter.

Team news-wise, Palace could be without defender Chris Richards, who remains a doubt. Brentford’s only confirmed absentee is young midfielder Antoni Milambo, ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Taktický přehled

Oliver Glasner’s Palace are likely to maintain their disciplined 3-4-2-1 setup, built on defensive compactness and quick transitions through wide areas. Their wing-backs will be crucial in both phases, with Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell tasked with containing Brentford’s pacey wingers while offering width in attack. Palace’s key challenge will be turning possession into chances, something they’ve struggled with in recent weeks.

Brentford will stick to their tried-and-tested 4-3-3 system, pressing aggressively and looking to exploit turnovers with fast, vertical transitions. The Bees excel at creating chaos in the box, often capitalising on second balls and set pieces. However, their vulnerability away from home — especially early in halves — could make them susceptible if Palace start quickly.

Analýza sázek

This fixture has a history of goals, with both teams scoring in each of the last six Premier League meetings. Given Palace’s home consistency and Brentford’s attacking momentum, another open, high-scoring contest seems likely.

Backing over 3.5 total goals offers strong value, particularly as Brentford have been involved in several end-to-end matches recently. Alternatively, the both teams to score market also looks promising, considering neither side has managed a clean sheet in this fixture since 2021.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 2–2 Brentford

Brentford’s attacking confidence and Palace’s strong home record point toward a closely fought London derby. The visitors’ energy should make for an entertaining encounter, but Palace’s resilience at Selhurst Park could see the spoils shared after another high-scoring affair.
