Brentford vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
Sunday’s English Premier League action gets underway at the Gtech Community Stadium where Brentford will be playing host to Crystal Palace. Three points on opening day are up for grabs and the Bees will need to be at their very best to overcome an Eagles side that ended last season in great shape. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Brentford spent the majority of last season in the relegation scrap and ended the term in 16th place with 39 points after 38 games, while Palace hit their stride during the run-in and secured a top-half finish in 10th with 49 points.
The hosts enter the match as the bookmakers’ marginal favourite but the visitors have been tipped to be potentially one of the dark horses this season after a progressive campaign under Oliver Glasner in 2023-24. We’re expecting a close matchup - here are the key stats for this opening week encounter.

Brentford - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
After finishing in ninth place in the 2022-23 season, last term proved to be a much more difficult one for Brentford, as they dropped all the way to 16th and earned 20 fewer points than they did the previous season.
The Bees managed a record of 10 wins, nine draws and 19 losses, though they did score a total of 56 goals, which was only one short of Manchester United in eighth place and the most of any side in the bottom half of the table.
At home, Thomas Frank’s side posted five wins, seven draws and seven losses, but only managed to win one of their final five matches here at the Gtech.
Five of the last six matches between these sides have ended in a draw!
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace earned four more points and moved up a spot in the table last season compared to the previous campaign, and will be hoping to pull themselves closer to the European spots this term.
The Eagles had 13 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses, and ended the season with the fourth-best record of any side in the division over the last five games, securing four wins and a draw.
Glasner’s men earned 21 points from 19 games on the road (W5 D6 L8), but only managed 20 away goals, which was the third-fewest in the top flight, only better than Everton and relegated Sheffield United.
While five of the seven matches between these sides have ended level, Palace did win the last encounter 3-1 at Selhurst Park back in December last year.

Brentford & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
Brentford will start the season with four players sidelined, including Joshua Dasilva, Rico Henry and Igor Nascimento Rodrigues due to knee injuries, while Aaron Hickey is ruled out with a thigh strain.
Yoane Wissa was the Bees' top-scorer with 12 goals last season but it will be interesting to see how the side line up given that Ivan Toney is still at the club despite making them aware that he would like to move on this summer.
Thomas Frank’s side coughed up almost £60m to sign Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho in the offseason and both will be in contention to make their debuts in this one.
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored 10 goals in Crystal Palace’s final eight games of last season!
Ismaila Sarr was brought in from Marseille over the summer break and could partner Eberechi Eze in the engine room following the departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich last month.
Christopher Richards is flagged as a doubt with a knock, while Cheick Doucoure and Matheus Franca de Oliveira are both ruled out for the foreseeable future due to injury.

Our Brentford vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Matches between these two have typically been very closely contested over the years and given that this is the first game of the season, it is difficult to predict what sort of shape they will be in.
However, neither team looked defensively solid last season or in pre-season and we feel that we will see a few goals at both ends in this one. Our Brentford vs Crystal Palace prediction: Both teams to score!
