Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Brentford to win — 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.74
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime goalscorer: Ivan Toney — 2.37
Brentford are likely to win this game because they won two and drawn one of their last four games while Crystal Palace are winless in their last five Premier League matches.
Four of Crystal Palace’s last five league matches ended with under 2.5 goals, three of Brentford’s last four games ended similarly, hence this game might not produce over two goals.
Toney scored against Arsenal last weekend and Crystal Palace haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last four games, hence Toney could get on the score sheet.
The Bees are in decent form currently, having won three and drawn two in their last five Premier League matches, including last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Arsenal.
Brentford are occupying the 8th position with 34 points after 22 league matches and can go as high as the 6th position if they beat Crystal Palace this weekend.
The Eagles are winless in their last five Premier League matches including last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Crystal Palace are at the 12th position with 25 points after 22 matches in the Premier League but they can go as high 11th position if they somehow beat Brentford on Saturday.
We say Brentford 1-0 Crystal Palace. The Bees are in better shape than Crystal Palace, having won three of their last five league matches. Although Palace held Brighton to a draw last weekend, they are likely to succumb to a defeat at Brentford this weekend.
Palace haven’t scored more than one goal per game in each of their last five matches, hence there’s a chance they could go blank against Brentford.
Crystal Palace have struggled to score goals, hence it’s safe to expect less than two goals from Palace.
