Crystal Palace vs Brentford Preview & Prediction
Following midweek Premier League defeats, London teams Crystal Palace and Brentford seek redemption at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Crystal Palace suffered a 2-1 loss to Chelsea, conceding an 89th-minute penalty. The Eagles, winless in eight consecutive matches, are in 15th place, sparking concerns about Roy Hodgson’s leadership.
Brentford endured a 4-1 defeat to Wolves, marking their fourth consecutive loss. Nathan Collins’s struggles contributed to the defeat, and Brentford now occupies 14th place, just one point ahead of Palace.
Thomas Frank’s side are plagued with injuries, but there must be concern surrounding their form nonetheless. The Wolves defeat was their fourth in a row and their sixth in their last seven games.

Crystal Palace vs Brentford Betting Tips
- Draw @ 9/4
- Chris Richards to be carded @ 6/1
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 12/1
Crystal Palace vs Brentford Betting Tip 1: Draw @ 9/4
Both teams will see this as an opportunity to capitalise on the other’s poor form and earn three points here. But when this is the case, particularly at the lower end of the table, backing the draw typically prevails.
Besides, the sides have drawn all five of their previous top-flight games, with the teams drawing 1-1 in each of their last three meetings. You can juice up the price here by backing a draw result and both teams to score at 3/1.
Crystal Palace vs Brentford Betting Tip 2: Chris Richards to be carded @ 6/1
Despite being a centre-back by trade, Chris Richards has filled in rather impressively in central midfield in the absence of Cheick Doucoure.
Since being deployed as this destroyer-type holding midfielder, Richards has picked up two yellow cards across four games. Despite this, bookmakers haven’t caught up and still price him as if he were a centre-back.
The price of 6/1 for him to pick up a card in a game that should largely consist of a physical midfield battle is too big to turn down.
