Crystal Palace vs Brentford

Brentford have won their last two away Premier League matches, as many as they had in their previous 17 combined (W2 D3 L12). It’s the first time they have won consecutive away games within the same campaign since November/December 2022 against Man City and West Ham.

Crystal Palace suffered only their third defeat across their last 15 Premier League matches (W6 D6), with all three defeats coming in London derby matches at Selhurst Park against Fulham, Arsenal, and Brentford today.

Since they joined the Premier League in 2021-22, only Liverpool (50), Arsenal (43) and Man City (43) have scored more headed goals than Brentford (38).

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last six home league games against Brentford (W3 D3), winning this exact fixture 3-1 last term.

Following their 2-1 win on the opening weekend, Brentford are looking to complete their first league double over Crystal Palace since 1955-56 in the Third Division South.

Crystal Palace have lost just two of their last 14 Premier League matches (W6 D6), having lost three in a row beforehand. From the date of the first game in this 14-match run (27 October), only Liverpool (0) and Arsenal (1) have lost fewer matches.

Brentford’s 22 Premier League games this season have produced 79 goals (40 for, 39 against), with only Spurs (80) and Wolves (83) seeing their games have more. If they concede in this game, they will be one of only three teams to both score and concede 40+ goals in as few as 23 games in a season, after Spurs in 2007-08 (22 games) and Leeds United in 2020-21 (23 games).

Crystal Palace have won their last two Premier League matches without conceding a goal, picking up 2-0 away wins at Leicester and West Ham. The Eagles last won three in a row without conceding between February and June 2020 (4).
