Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace’s 2024/25 season has taken a dramatic turn. What once seemed like a campaign spiralling out of control by October has become a thrilling resurgence under Oliver Glasner. Since the November international break, the Eagles have soared, losing just two of their last 14 Premier League matches (W6 D6). This run began on October 27, and in that time, only Liverpool and Arsenal have lost fewer games. Palace are now firmly on the rise, proving their mettle in the league.

Just like last season, when the Mateta-Eze-Olise trio drove Palace’s late surge to a top-half finish, the signs of a repeat are clear. Mateta is back in top form, hitting eight goals this season with a brace against West Ham, bringing his tally to 21 in 35 games. Crucially, he’s thriving alongside Ismaïla Sarr, whose growing partnership with Eberechi Eze is evoking shades of Olise’s brilliance from last season.

Crystal Palace will remain without Adam Wharton and Matheus França, though both are expected back next month. Jefferson Lerma is a doubt after illness, while Cheick Doucouré’s return date remains unclear.

Crystal Palace Probable XI - Henderson (GK), Guehi, Munoz, Lacroix, Mitchell, Richards, Hughes, Kamada, Eze, Mateta & Sarr

Brentford FC Preview

Brentford fought valiantly against league leaders Liverpool last weekend, but a late double from Darwin Núñez in injury time snatched victory from the Bees. Despite their resilience, it's hard to fault Brentford when up against a Liverpool side with squad depth unlike any other and boasting one of the Premier League's most lethal attacking arsenals—where even the bench can turn the tide of a game.

Facing Crystal Palace isn’t the toughest test in the league, and it’s certainly no Liverpool clash. However, the real battle for the Bees lies in improving their away form—a hurdle they’ve struggled to clear this season. Brentford’s away form has been dismal this season, with just two points from nine league games before finally breaking the curse with a win against the Saints earlier this month

Team News 

Brentford’s injury woes continue, with Aaron Hickey (hamstring) and Josh Dasilva (knee) yet to feature this season, while Gustavo Nunes (back) remains sidelined since August. Kristoffer Ajer (ankle) and Ethan Pinnock (hamstring) are targeting a return to training by late February, and Igor Thiago, recovering from an infection, is still weeks away and unlikely to feature at Selhurst Park.

Brentford Probable XI - Flekken (GK), Roerslev, Collins, van den Berg, Norgaard, Wissa, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Yarmoliuk & Lewis-Potter

Based on their recent form, Crystal Palace is likely to enter Sunday's clash as the favorite. However, Brentford has recently faced a challenging schedule, including matches against Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest. Notably, Brentford narrowly defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 in the reverse fixture, although Palace triumphed 3-1 at home last season. It is noteworthy that, aside from these two results, all previous matches between these two teams have ended in draws.

Regardless of the recent form and past results, this game is difficult to predict. Odds offered by most bookmakers reflect this uncertainty. Crystal Palace is currently favored to win the match, with odds of 2.09 compared to Brentford's 3.40. The odds for a draw are 3.75.
