In-form Brentford set to extend unbeaten run against Crystal Palace
7145

Brentford will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 11 games when they host London rivals Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

On the flip side, Palace will be hoping to end a six-match winless run, which has left them 12th in the Premier League table – seven points outside the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Brentford find themselves in eighth place – nine points clear of Crystal Palace and seven points shy of the Champions League spots.

It is worth noting that Brentford have only lost four of their 22 Premier League matches this season, picking up eight wins and 10 draws in the process.

Only Arsenal and Newcastle United have suffered fewer defeats than Brentford this term, while the Magpies are the only side to have registered more draws.

Not only have the Bees avoided defeat in each of their last 10 league outings, but they have also avoided defeat in 12 of their previous 13.

Having won four of their last six league games – and five of their previous eight – Thomas Frank’s side are one of the most in-form teams in the division.

As for Crystal Palace, they have failed to win any of their last six Premier League matches – registering three draws and three losses in that time.

When you look at the bigger picture, the Eagles have only managed to win six of their 22 league encounters this season – recording seven draws and nine defeats.

Patrick Vieira’s men have been especially poor on their travels this term, winning just two of their last 12 away games in the Premier League.

They have also struggled for goals throughout the campaign, scoring 20 in 22 matches. Only five teams have netted fewer goals than Palace this season.

Head-to-head: Brentford and Crystal Palace have faced each other three times since the Bees gained promotion to the Premier League in 2021.

The London rivals played out two goalless draws during the 2021-22 campaign before dishing up a 1-1 draw in this season’s reverse fixture back in August.

Team news: Thomas Strakosha and Pontus Jansson remain injured for Brentford, although Jansson is close to making a return to first-team action.

Crystal Palace are currently without the injured trio of Nathan Ferguson, Joel Ward and Wilfried Zaha, while Chris Richards, Joachim Anderson and Will Hughes are doubts.

Although Brentford are enjoying a far better campaign than Palace, the Eagles look set to frustrate the Bees this time around.

Considering the recent results between Brentford and Crystal Palace, Forebet predicts that the London rivals will play out another low-scoring draw on Saturday.
