Command Analysis
Brentford
EnglandCurrent form
Brentford have three seasons in the Premier League behind them, and the last one was the most unsuccessful – only 16th place in the final standings. There were even fears that relegation would follow, but they managed to have a strong finish – three wins and four draws.
Thomas Frank retained his job. They signed Igor Thiago , who tore a knee ligament and is out for the rest of the year. This is a serious loss, as there were high hopes for him in attack. In addition, Carvalho arrived from Liverpool. Arsenal bought the rights to goalkeeper David Raya in full.
Brentford have not shone in pre-season matches, with just one win in five matches played.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thiago, Hickey, Dasilva and Henry will not play today – they are all injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brentford have won just three of their last 15 Premier League matches.
- At home, the Bees have just one win in their last eight Premier League matches.
Probable line-up : Flekken - Roerslev, Pinnock, Collins, Ajer - Noergaard, Jensen, Janelt - Mbeumo, Vissa, Schade
Crystal Palace
EnglandCurrent form
Crystal Palace have been a solid mid-table Premier League side for a long time, with no significant breakthrough. Perhaps, it can be noted that they managed to score 57 goals last season, which was the best result since entering the Premier League. We should add that the Glaziers had a strong finish to the last season, going on a seven-game unbeaten streak (six wins and one draw).
In many ways, Crystal Palace's success at the end of the season is due to the work of Oliver Glassner , who remained at the helm of the team. But the leader of the attacks, Michael Oliseh, moved to Bayern. There are no other noticeable losses. Among the acquisitions, we note the arrival of defender Chadi Riyad and midfielder Daithi Kamada.
Crystal Palace have been good in friendly matches – not a single defeat in five games (three wins and two draws).
Disqualifications and injuries
Franca will definitely not play today. Richards and Doucoure are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Crystal Palace have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League games.
- The Glaziers have not lost a derby against Brentford since 2014
Tentative line-up : Henderson - Richards, Andersen, Gehi - Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell - Eze, Kamada - Oduard.

6.20Tip and bets
Brentford were not impressive either last season or in friendly matches. Crystal Palace lost one of their best players in Oliseh and it is far from certain that they will be able to play powerfully in attack, as they did at the end of the last tournament. It is quite possible that against this background we will not see a bright game today. Let's start from the statistics of personal meetings - five of the last six face-to-face matches ended in a draw.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.40
Bet on total
At the start of the season, you should clearly not expect fast and productive football from the teams, especially against the background of changes in the lineup, albeit not the most serious. Only in one of the last six confrontations were more than two goals scored. Accordingly, we recommend the option of betting on the total under.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.05
Bet on the first half
In their last three friendlies before the start of the season, Brentford drew with their opponents at half-time, which is what we expect to happen today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.22
