Brentford v Crystal Palace Betting Tips [18 February 2023]

Brentford are set for a second straight London derby when they play host to Crystal Palace in the Premier League right after their game against Arsenal. Heading into this game, these two sides are on opposite ends of the league standings with the hosts on 34 points in eighth place while Palace are 12th with 25 points. Brentford posted their fourth straight unbeaten outing in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal. They had to come from a goal down in the game though their equalizer was shrouded in controversy. The Bees won’t mind, the point is in the bag and they move on. The goal conceded then breached a run of three matches without conceding and Brentford are unbeaten in 10 matches in the league. Seven times in the last 10 league matches, Brentford have scored two or more goals. They have three straight wins at home in the league, the last two have produced clean sheets and the last four have had two goals or more.

Crystal Palace aren’t doing so well; they come into this game without a win in their last seven matches. Patrick Vieira’s side has managed just one win in the last 11 matches and this will be an uphill task. In their most recent game, Crystal Palace clawed their way back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Brighton. From a possible 15 league points in their last five matches, Palace have secured just three and the fact that they have just one clean sheet in the five makes it worse. Crystal Palace have failed to score in two of their last five matches and their away run in the league isn’t so encouraging. The visitors have lost three of the last four away league matches; they’ve failed to score in two of their last four away league games while they have one clean sheet in five away league games..

Brentford will definitely be the form team here and in their recent run, we don’t expect them to struggle a lot to break down Palace. In their three league meetings, these two sides have drawn all. This time there is a feeling we will see a change, going by their strengths and runs. Unbeaten in 10 league matches, Brentford will prevail here. Our prediction for the Brentford v Crystal Palace game is for Brentford to win.
