TEAMS PREVIEW

Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace face a hectic few days with a midweek showdown against Liverpool followed by a weekend derby with Brentford. Oddly enough, the Eagles won’t dread facing the Reds—having already beaten them twice this season, in the Community Shield and the league. 

That said, Palace themselves are winless in four across all competitions, with their last league win came in September against Liverpool (2-1), their latest setback a narrow loss to Arsenal—courtesy of a goal from their former talisman Eberechi Eze.

Stats that matter 

1. Crystal Palace head into the clash looking to end a rough patch on the road, having suffered back-to-back away defeats in the league.
2. The Eagles haven't lost any of their last 10 home matches in the Premier League.
3. Eight out of Mateta's last nine goals have come in London derbies. 

Team News 

Glasner has no new injury concerns, with the full squad from the last outing fit and available. However, his selection for the weekend clash against Brentford may hinge on how the players recover from their midweek Carabao Cup battle with Liverpool.

Crystal Palace Probable XI - Henderson (Goalkeeper); Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz (Defenders); Adam Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell (Midfielders); Ismaila Sarr, Yeremy Pino, Mateta (Forwards) 

Brentford FC Preview

The Bees stole the spotlight in the last Premier League gameweek with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool, courtesy of goals from Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade, and Igor Thiago. As has become their trademark, their opener once again came from a long throw — the eighth time since 2024-25 they’ve scored that way. 

With three wins in their last four league outings, including a 3-1 triumph over high-flying Manchester United, Brentford are buzzing with confidence. Keith Andrews will hope to keep that momentum alive, even with a tough run of fixtures ahead.

Stats that matter 

1. It was the first time since April/May earlier this year that the Bees have managed to win two consecutive games in the league.
2. Igor Thiago is joint second in the list of leading goal scorers in the league this season with six goals.
3. Brentford have been awarded the most penalties (3) for a team in the Premier League this season. 

Team News 

Apart from the ongoing injury concern to Aaron Hickey, Brentford have another worry as midfielder Yehor Yarmolyuk was forced off in the first half against Liverpool. The extent of his injury remains unclear, putting his availability for the weekend clash in serious doubt.

Brentford Probable XI - Kelleher (GK); Ajer, Collins, Van den Berg, Kayode (Defenders); Vitaly Janelt, Henderson, Demsgaard( Midfielders); Thiago, Schade, Ouattara (Forwards)

CRYSTAL PALACE vs BRENTFORD FC
Winning Prediction

Historically, clashes between these two sides in the Premier League have often ended in stalemates. However, the last three encounters have all produced results — Brentford winning two and Palace claiming one at Selhurst Park. 

Interestingly, both teams will miss key figures like Eze, Mbeumo, and Wissa, who were instrumental in those victories. Looking at current form though, Brentford appear the more confident side, and we’re tipping the Bees to edge this one if it doesn't end in a stalemate. 

In the meantime, major betting sites favour Brentford  to pip Crystal Palace in gameweek 10, offering odds of 1.92 for the hosts, 4.19 for a Brentford win, and 3.70 for a draw. 

We predict a draw (2-2)
