This has the looks of another interesting contest at LNER Community Stadium in the Premier League. Brentford is in 4th place and host Crystal Palace in 11th spot. Read all about the fixture here!

This is a local derby, usually meaning extra stress and significance.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Brentford form and stats

A Premier League draw at home so far for Brentford. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats from 19 matches.

Happy days for Brentford in their previous game, a fixture away at Fulham (placed 13th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Midfield player Jensen got a match rating of 8.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Jensen hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 37 successful passes (of 43 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Tottenham Hotspur.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brentford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Brentford as they are travelling to their away game against Newport County in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Brentford's 1 home game: {2 goals}, 2 conceded.

Crystal Palace form and stats

Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Crystal Palace and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 5 draws and 10 losses from 19 travels.

The manager Hodgson was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace suffered a 0-1 loss to Arsenal (placed 3rd). Andersen, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Andersen won 6 of 9 duels.

Prior to that result Palace won their away game at Sheffield United. The scoreline was 1-0.

Crystal Palace are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

Crystal Palace have another match away in just three nights, a Carabao Cup match versus Plymouth Argyle. A strenuous calendar for them!

Crystal Palace have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Brentford have avoided a loss in the last 4 fixtures (0-4-0) facing Crystal Palace.
