Crystal Palace welcome Brentford to Selhurst Park for a Premier League London derby this Saturday. Currently, Crystal Palace sit in 10th place, just above Brentford in 11th, with both teams level on 13 points and separated only by goal difference. So, who will come out on top in South London this weekend?
### Crystal Palace vs Brentford Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Crystal Palace’s recent record against Brentford has not been favorable. The Eagles have managed to beat the Bees only once in their last six meetings. Notably, Crystal Palace suffered a 1-2 defeat to Brentford at Selhurst Park in January.
Both teams are coming off victories in the fourth round of the EFL Cup. However, Crystal Palace’s 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield stands out as more impressive compared to Brentford’s 5-0 triumph over League Two side Grimsby, despite the scoreline.
After a strong start to the Premier League season, Crystal Palace have hit a slight rough patch. They are currently winless in their last three league games, with defeats to Everton and Arsenal sandwiching a draw against Bournemouth.
In contrast, Brentford have been in excellent form, winning three of their last four Premier League matches impressively. The Bees ended September with a victory over Manchester United and followed that up with back-to-back wins against West Ham and Liverpool last week.
A key player for Brentford this season has been striker Igor Thiago. Only Erling Haaland has scored more goals than the Brazilian forward, who has netted six goals so far — four of those coming in his last four matches.
### Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction
Given Brentford’s recent strong form and positive head-to-head record against Crystal Palace, the Bees will likely enter this match full of confidence. However, Crystal Palace’s solid defensive record could prove the difference.
The Eagles have conceded only nine goals this season, with their two league defeats being narrow. They are also expected to resist Brentford’s direct and physical style of play better than Liverpool managed.
Meanwhile, Brentford have kept just one clean sheet since August, making it unlikely they will shut out Palace.
All things considered, the prediction is for a narrow home win.
**Prediction:** Crystal Palace 2-1 Brentford
