Crystal Palace v Brentford

Crystal Palace vs Brentford Preview

A second 2-0 win away from home on the trot in the Premier League last weekend saw Crystal Palace extend their current unbeaten sequence in the English top flight to five games with a victory at West Ham which in turn has helped lift The Eagles up into a more respectable 12th place in the table.

Brentford experienced the exact opposite scoreline last weekend when The Bees were dealt a 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool which now makes it just one win in seven games for Thomas Frank's side, leaving the visitors still sitting in 11th place in the Premier League standings.

Crystal Palace finished last season's campaign in excellent form which produced an seven-match unbeaten run that included picking up six wins, but although Oliver Glasner's side made a poor start to this current top flight campaign, failing to win any of their opening eight games and slipping to five defeats, subsequent results have seen an improvement.

Since being dealt a third loss on the trot in the form of a 1-0 defeat away from home at Nottingham Forest back in October, Palace have slipped to just two further losses in their subsequent 14 games overall.

Crystal Palace have also collected six wins within these 14 games while last time out at Selhurst Park, they held Chelsea to a creditable 1-1 draw.

Brentford still remain in 11th place in the Premier League despite being dealt a 2-0 loss at home to Liverpool, both goals coming in injury time for The Reds which was a blow for Thomas Frank and his side who had seemingly looked set to pick up a point.

The visitors have managed to claim just one win from their last seven games overall in the domestic top flight which came by way of a resounding 5-0 thrashing of Southampton at St Marys Stadium, but The Bees have also tasted defeat a few times in recent weeks as well.

Losses at the hands of Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Liverpool perhaps suggest Brentford could be vulnerable here at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, especially as The Bees have managed to capture just one win from their previous 10 outings on the road.

To make matters worse, Thomas Frank's side have also been handed no fewer than seven defeats within this 10-game sequence on their travels, making this upcoming relatively short journey across London another potentially tough fixture for Brentford.

Crystal Palace v Brentford Verdict

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last three meetings at home against Brentford and the previous encounter at Selhurst Park resulted in a comprehensive 3-1 win for The Eagles, and with solid form behind them, Palace look favourites for the points here.
