Let's look at this absorbing game in the Premier League. Crystal Palace is in the 13th position after participating in four games. They greet Brentford who are placed 9th after four fixtures.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and significance.
It's no vacation for neither Palace nor Brentford as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Crystal Palace form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Crystal Palace's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Selhurst Park.
The followers are hoping that Crystal Palace will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the game against Manchester City (placed 2nd). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Manchester City) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-4. Defender Andersen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 6.83/10. Andersen scored one goal and won 5 of 8 duels.
Before that game, a fine away victory at Oxford United. A Carabao Cup game.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crystal Palace as they are travelling to their away game against Newcastle United in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Crystal Palace at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Brentford form and stats
The Premier League season is young and Brentford have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Brentford played 1-1 against Everton in their previous match. Raya had red hot gloves after the game against Everton, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
Ahead of that, the Carabao Cup win away at Colchester United.
A new game in only four days for Brentford, the Premier League home match versus Leeds United. Busy days.
Brentford have the goal stats of 4-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the previous two meetings featuring these two participants are: zero wins for Crystal Palace, two draws and zero wins for Brentford. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
