[Football- England 'Premier League'] 18.2/ 16:00 Brentford- Crystal Palace
Brentford is currently ranked 8th in the Premier League and is playing some of their best football. Brentford is unbeaten in seven Premier League games since the World Cup. They have also kept clean sheets in four of their last six league games. Looking purely at home form, Brentford has averaged 2.00 PPG at home and has won their last three games at home. Brentford has also scored in their last 5 home games, demonstrating a strong ability to score in front of their own fans. Thomas Frank has really made this squad something else and Ivan Toney is proving that is truly PL-worthy with 14 goals and 3 assists from 20 games. Momentum is a powerful drug and Brentford seems to have it.
Crystal Palace is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League and is in poor form. Starting their season off relatively strong, Palace has since struggled to get results, being winless in their last five Premier League games (D3L2). The side has also failed to score in 2 of their last 5 games for a total of 9 scoreless games out of 22 games played. Being unable to score in 41% of games isn't exactly a positive stat and with losing 50% of their away games (W2D3L5), it's hard to rank Palace's away form. Earning only 0.90 PPG, Palace isn't exactly threatening away. To make matters worse, it's not really a party without Zaha! Palace has only scored 20 goals this season, with 8 of them involving Zaha (6G+2A). The absence of their leading man due to injury has been obvious and I expect the poor results to continue until his return.
Given the stats, I see Brentford winning this to nil. Palace struggle to score and Brentford should be able to grab one or two goals on the day. Palace is winless in their last three league away games against Brentford (D1L2) and Brentford have been amazing at home. Brentford looks great right now and with Zaha absent, I don't see Crystal Palace getting a point from this.
