Crystal Palace vs Brentford betting tips and summary

Both teams to score – strong trend in recent H2H matches

Jean-Philippe Mateta to score anytime – great recent form

Over 8 corners – has a very high hit rate at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace host Brentford on Saturday afternoon in a London derby between two teams side-by-side in the middle of the English Premier League table.

Under manager Oliver Glasner, Palace have demonstrated a solid defensive structure so far this campaign. However, they have been unable to find the offensive consistency required in recent weeks.

Their slim 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last Sunday highlighted their ability to hold firm against one of the league’s best sides, but also showcased a lack of potency in transition and the final third.

Keith Andrews’ Brentford side enters this fixture following an excellent 3-2 victory against Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Despite many people questioning the appointment of Andrews in the summer, the 45-year-old has adapted to his new role seamlessly, with his calm presence reflecting on the performance of his team in recent weeks.

The return of Igor Thiago from injury has been huge for the Bees, as the attacker netted his fifth goal of the season from the penalty spot on Saturday.
