Insights:
  • Brentford have the most conceded goals in the first half (22) in Premier League

Brentford form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. That’s what Brentford have to build on here at Brentford Community Stadium in the Premier League. It's trouble wherever Brentford are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The regulars are hoping that Brentford will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Manchester City (placed 1st).

This is expected to be a close game, with Brentford perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brentford as a small favourite), we find five games. Brentford has won four of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Brentford has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. On the other hand, Brentford have conceded 17 goals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crystal Palace so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-5 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Palace has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Norwich City (placed 18th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1. Mitchell, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.85. Mitchell won 11 of 12 duels.
