Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Crystal Palace won 2-0 at home and both teams are a perfectly balanced 2-2-5 in their last 9 overall meetings. Both teams to score – yes is 6-1 in their last 7 meetings.
In this Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction, Brentford is coming as -140 home favorites. With only two games weeks left to play, only Brentford has something to play for, as they are just two points behind the 7th place that leads to next season’s European Conference League. But they have not been in good form lately, having won only once in their last 9 games and once in their last 7 games at home. Crystal Palace has been bad on the road, with a 1-4 record in their last 5 road games but have lost only once in their last four visits in Brentford Community Stadium. I see no value on either side but instead will go with the over in this one, as both teams are 6-2 and 10-1 to the over in their last 8 and 11 games respectively.
