In the first H2H game this season, Crystal Palace won 2:0. However, the game was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests, and a draw was possibly the most realistic result. Looking further back, these teams have met a total of nine times in official matches. Thus far, these teams have secured two wins each.
Regarding the number of goals, three of the past nine H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams have scored in six of those.
Brentford team overview
Brentford have mostly been a mid-table team since arriving in the Premier League. This season, the popular Bees could finally take a step forward and secure their first-ever European appearance. Unfortunately, their European dreams took a hit after losing two of the previous three rounds. Now, they sit in 8th place with 51 points - two points away from the desired 7th place. Depending on the FA Cup result, they can secure it from the 8th spot as well, but even that won't be an easy task, considering four other teams below them are only two and three points away.
The team should have no new injuries for the upcoming game. Nevertheless, Fabio Carvalho, Rico Henry, and Antoni Milambo should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace are playing their 13th consecutive Premier League season, during which they have been exclusively between 10th and 15th place. However, their last season was truly a historic one as they won the FA Cup and secured their second-ever European appearance. Even though the Eagles are once again around the same placement, they are doing a great job in the Conference League, where they will face Rayo Vallecano in the Finals. There, the bookies see them as a significant favorite, and the Eagles could secure Europe in back-to-back seasons.
Edward Nketiah and Cheick Doucoure will remain sidelined with their injuries, while Borna Sosa and Evann Guessand are close to returning, having trained in the previous session. However, even if they play, it would be only for a limited minutes.

Prediction
Brentford went over 2.5 goals in the past three games. The Bees were really great at home in recent games, scoring 2+ goals in three of the past four games. Moreover, they have scored two or more goals in 10 out of the 18 PL home games - 55%. With European appearance on the line, we expect them to deliver another good offensive performance.
Crystal Palace were amazing for this type of bet lately, going over 2.5 goals in six consecutive games across competitions. On the road, they had massive defensive issues, allowing three goals per game in their previous three PL road games! Also, it is notable that their Premier League performances have dropped recently. Given that they have no real motive, we doubt they will suddenly improve on the defensive end.
Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the best option for this Premier League tie.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Brentford went over 2.5 goals in the past three games
- Brentford scored 2+ goals in three of the past four home games
- Crystal Palace went over 2.5 goals in six consecutive games across competitions
- Crystal Palace allowed three goals per game in the past three road PL games
