Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction: Defeating the Hornets

Latest Crystal Palace vs Brentford team news

Three Crystal Palace players, Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure (both with knee injuries) and Caleb Kporha (back injury), remain sidelined. Manager Glasner revealed on Tuesday that Chris Richards is unlikely to be fit in time for the Brentford game after recovering from a minor calf injury.

Richards' absence could open up an opportunity for 19-year-old newcomer Jaydee Canvot to make his first Premier League start at centre-back, partnering with Maxence Lacroix and captain Marc Guehi.

Tyrick Mitchell is expected to replace Borna Sosa on the left flank, while Adam Wharton is likely to return to the starting lineup alongside Daichi Kamada in central midfield. Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta – who has scored 21 goals in 27 home starts in the Premier League – will continue to start in place of Eddie Nketiah.

For Brentford, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva are both sidelined with long-term knee injuries. Yegor Yarmoliuk (hip) and Aaron Hickey (knee) are still doubtful and will be assessed before the match.

After making nine changes in the midweek win at Grimsby, manager Andrews may revert to a similar lineup to the Liverpool victory, but he is also considering switching to a five-man defense to counter Palace's system.

Striker Igor Thiago – who has scored six goals in nine Premier League starts this season – is likely to continue leading the attack, supported by Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara. Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson will be competing for a starting spot after scoring and assisting against Grimsby.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Brentford football match prediction

“Can we see them every week?” – that was one of many joyful chants from Crystal Palace fans after watching their team beat Liverpool for the third time in just three months. Following victories in the FA Community Shield and the Premier League, Palace continued their winning streak with an easy 3-0 win at Anfield in the fourth round of the League Cup on Wednesday night.

Two first-half goals from Ismaila Sarr helped Palace punish a Liverpool side with numerous changes, who also had a player sent off with 11 minutes remaining. Yeremy Pino scored the third goal, rubbing salt into the wounds of the struggling Reds and sending Palace into the League Cup quarter-finals for the second consecutive season.

Manager Oliver Glasner may soon be tasked with leading his team through four matches in just eight days after progressing deep into the competition. In December, Palace will face Manchester City, Leeds United, and KuPS in the Conference League, while the EFL organizers are still discussing scheduling their quarter-final match against Arsenal – currently, no suitable midweek time slot has been found.

For now, Palace will focus back on the Premier League. They are currently 10th in the table, four points behind the top four after losing two of their last three games (with one draw) – equaling their total number of losses in their previous 19 Premier League matches (9 wins, 8 draws).

The team nicknamed “The Eagles” remain unbeaten after four home games at Selhurst Park this season (1 win, 3 draws), but ahead of Saturday’s match against Brentford, Palace have only won 1 of their last 8 Premier League encounters against this opponent (5 draws, 2 losses) – that being a 3-1 home victory in December 2023.

Many predicted Brentford would struggle this season after a turbulent summer, but the Hornets are now 11th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, and have also reached the League Cup quarter-finals for the fourth time in six years.

Following two consecutive Premier League victories against West Ham and Liverpool – including a 3-2 home win against Liverpool last weekend – Brentford continued their impressive form with a 5-0 win away at Grimsby Town (Fourth Division) in the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday. This was their biggest win in all competitions since their 5-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League last January.

Manager Keith Andrews, who has won six of his 12 games since taking over this summer, expressed his satisfaction with the “professionalism and fighting spirit” of the revamped Grimsby squad. He urged the players to maintain this positive form ahead of a challenging fixture schedule.

Before facing Newcastle, Brighton, Burnley, Arsenal, and Tottenham in the Premier League, Brentford will focus on their match against Crystal Palace – a team they beat 2-1 both at home and away last season, after failing to win in their first six encounters in the league (five draws, one loss).

Brentford's threat from set pieces is well-known. Since the start of last season, they have scored 8 Premier League goals from throw-ins alone – 5 more than any other team. In fact, the two teams with the most long throw-ins into the opponent's penalty area this season are Brentford (47) and Crystal Palace (38).
