Betting on Brentford F.C.
Brentford is in the midst of another positive season and is fully threatening to clinch one of the places in Europe’s top competitions after recording a controversial 1-1 draw against Arsenal. The goal should have been disallowed for an offside that the VAR did not observe.
That result kept The Bees‘ surprisingly unbeaten start to 2023 in the league, which is part of a ten-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, even after facing teams like Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal. However, with still five points separating them from their objective, they know they still have a lot of work to do and need to keep the good results coming to move up in the standings.
The team’s strength at home has been key to Brentford’s current success, as they have also been unbeaten at home in the league since September, winning three games and losing another three since then. Brentford’s three home wins have come in their last three matchups: the two most recent of those wins were clean sheets, leaving them 8-1 on aggregate.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): David Raya; Ben Mee, Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey; Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Joshua Dasilva; Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney.
Betting on Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has been slowly fading after an excellent start to the season, currently on a streak of six consecutive league games without a win (three draws, three losses). In the last match, The Eagles ended up drawing 1-1 against Brighton at home last week.
Although playing away is not its strongest suit, after defeats to Manchester United and Chelsea, The Eagles will be happy that Brentford will be its opponent this time around, given that the team has not lost in any of its three previous league meetings against its opponents (three draws).
If they are to achieve a positive result here, Crystal Palace knows what it needs to focus on to improve, given that it has one of the worst offensive records in the league with just 20 goals scored.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vicente Guaita; Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Richards, Marc Guéhi, Tyrick Mitchell; Cheick Oumar Doucouré, Will Hughes; Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Jeffrey Schlupp; Odsonne Édouard.
JefeBet Prediction
Crystal Palace’s offensive problems are nothing new, as they come from previous seasons, and this could be a very complicated scenario to solve them, given that it will be facing Brentford, who has allowed just 10 goals in 11 home games this campaign.
In addition, Brentford is also usually a productive team at home, averaging just over two goals scored per game, a performance that should hold up against The Eagles‘ defense, which always tends to give liberties and doesn’t transmit much confidence.
With Brentford playing at a high level at home, and Crystal Palace going into the game without firepower, we expect the home side to dominate from the start and come away with the win.
Prediction: Brentford Moneyline (BRE 2-1 CRY).
