FW Predictions for Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Premier League predictions for Saturday's meeting between Brentford and Crystal Palace. Only four places separate these two clubs but Brentford boast a healthy 9pt lead over the Eagles. Crystal Palace have never managed to beat the Bees before and Brentford's only win in this fixture arrived in the form of a pre-season friendly.

Brentford to Win
For our first Brentford vs Crystal Palace prediction we're backing the hosts to bring home the points this weekend. Brentford have won three of their last six matches in all competitions and each of those victories have arrived in their own backyard. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have lost three of their last six outings in league and cup, drawing the other three matches, so you can see why we're backing Brentford this weekend.
Ivan Toney to Score
Our second Brentford vs Crystal Palace prediction is in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Toney is enjoying another fantastic Premier League campaign in front of goal and he is the man that Brentford rely on to get them over the finishing line. The former Newcastle man has scored 14-goals in the league alone, almost three times as many as his nearest teammate Mbeumo who has 5-goals. Toney equalised against Arsenal last time out and we're backing the Bees' main man to find the back of the net against the Eagles this weekend.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace Lineups
Brentford
Brentford made the short trip to Arsenal last time out and ended up coming away with a share of the spoils in controversial style. Following a goalless first half, the Gunners took the lead through Trossard but Brentford responded really well and were awarded an equaliser in the 74th-minute when Toney headed home from close range. However, despite the goal clearly being offside, VAR missed this and allowed the Bees' equaliser much to the frustration of the Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. Strakosha will miss out this weekend but both Jansson and Onyeka could return to the squad following thigh injuries.
Predicted Lineup: Raya (GK), Mee, Ajer, Henry, Rasmussen, Pinnock, Nørgaard, Jensen, Janelt, Toney & Mbeumo
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace played host to their arch-rivals Brighton last weekend for what turned out to be a tight and tense 90-minutes. The first-half failed to produce any goals but Brighton took the lead just after the hour mark through March but that advantage only lasted 6-minutes as Tomkins pounced on a mistake from the Seagulls goalkeeper to equalise and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Ward and Zaha are expected to miss out this weekend but Richards, Andersen and Hughes are close to a return to action.
Predicted Lineup: Guaita (GK), Tomkins, Clyne, Guéhi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Hughes, Doucouré, Olise, Ayew & Mateta

Player to Watch: Mathias Jensen
Brentford's 27-year-old midfielder has started every league game this season and has proved himself to be a key asset to the team.
The former Celta Vigo man has chipped in with 3-goals and 4-assists so far this season, making him the club's main provider of goals. We're backing Jensen to play a vital role in what we are predicting will be a Brentford victory this weekend in front of their own fans.
Toney is the star player in this Brentford team but it is the likes of Jensen that selflessly help lift the talented striker into the limelight with their hard work and determination.
