Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace have turned a corner in recent weeks, going six without defeat. That has seen the Eagles move eleven points clear of the drop zone.
This weekend, Palace will be chasing a third successive win, which could move them up to eleventh in the standings. Jean-Philippe Mateta has been a standout player for the Eagles throughout this season, scoring eight goals in 22 matches from an xG of 9.56.
Palace will be looking to become more efficient in the final third in the second half of the season, as they have scored 14 goals from an xG of 27.51. However, the Eagles have been productive in the defensive areas, conceding 23 goals from an xGA of 27.97.
It has been an inconsistent period for Thomas Frank’s Brentford, and continued defensive issues are playing a part. The Bees will be without Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey on Sunday.
Brentford have won just once across their last five matches, but their attacking quality continues to catch the eye. The Bees have scored 34 goals from an xG of 32.80. However, their prospects in the second half of the season could hinge on the future of Bryan Mbeumo, who has been subject to interest from Nottingham Forest.
But Brentford will need to improve defensively in the second half of the season, conceding 36 goals from an xGA of 35.44, if they want to stand a chance against Crystal Palace.
Bet hereThe home win could be the most popular angle when making a Crystal Palace vs Brentford prediction this weekend. The Eagles have turned a corner in recent weeks, and have been efficient at both ends of the field in recent weeks.
Mateta’s strength at the top of the field will ensure a handful for the Brentford defence, which is already decimated by injuries. The chances of a home win are also enhanced based on the fact that the Eagles have gone six without defeat against the Bees at Selhurst Park, and they have won each of their last two without conceding.
A tense London derby could see cards being a popular betting angle. Crystal Palace have averaged 2.06 cards per game in the Premier League this season, and 59% of their matches have seen over 3.5 cards. Meanwhile, Brentford have averaged 1.45 cards per game, and half of their matches have seen over 3.5 cards issued.
Mateta’s form could ensure he is the solid scorer angle on Sunday. The striker has scored eight in 22 matches this season, and has accumulated an xG of 9.56 from an average of 2.33 shots per 90.
