Brentford vs Crystal Palace Preview
Brentford
Thomas Frank’s Brentford kick off their 2024-25 season with a London derby against Crystal Palace this weekend.
The Bees endured a testing campaign last term, as they ultimately finished 16th in the overall standings, and their Premier League status wasn’t assured until the final weeks of the season. Brentford will be hoping for much better this term, but their chances of progression could yet hinge on whether Ivan Toney remains at the club.
The Bees may be a prominent selection when making a Brentford vs Crystal Palace prediction this weekend after avoiding defeat in five of their six pre-season matches. However, it may be a slight concern that they have conceded nine goals in their last four matches.
Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner’s arrival at Selhurst Park sparked a revival last term, as the Eagles would achieve their best ever league finish in the Premier League, as well as their highest points return in the Premier League era. However, the club have parted ways with one of their brightest stars this summer, as Michael Olise completed his transfer to Bayern Munich before the Olympics.
The Eagles have replaced the Frenchman with Ismaila Sarr, who previously enjoyed a stay in the Premier League with Watford. Meanwhile, Daichi Kamada is a player that Glasner knows well from his time at Eintracht Frankfurt. Palace have been consistent in pre-season after winning three of their last four matches.

Eberechi Eze was an important player off the bench for England at the EUROs this summer, and he will have an increased role for the Eagles this term following the departure of Olise.
