Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction Premier League

Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 10 of the Premier League, scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 15:00 GMT. The game takes place at Selhurst Park and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime and DAZN. Two London sides sitting level on points face off in a contest that could reshape the mid-table picture. In this article, you’ll discover Stats English Premier League analysis from XpertStats experts.

Crystal Palace unbeaten at home this season with 1 win and 3 draws.
Brentford averaging 3.25 goals per match, highest in recent weeks.
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored 21 goals in 27 home Premier League starts.
Both teams boast a 75% BTTS rate in the league.

Crystal Palace come into this game with mixed feelings. They stunned Liverpool midweek with a 3-0 win at Anfield in the EFL Cup, but their Premier League form has stuttered. Oliver Glasner’s men have lost two of their last three in the league, including a narrow 1-0 defeat at Arsenal. Still, at Selhurst Park, the Eagles have been tough to crack, unbeaten in four home league games. Their 2.75 goal average per match and 75% rate for games going over 1.5 goals underline the attacking intent that Glasner’s new-look system brings.

Brentford, meanwhile, are buzzing again. After a shaky start, Keith Andrews’ side have found rhythm: three wins in their last four across all competitions, including a dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool. The Bees have quietly become one of the league’s most entertaining teams, averaging 3.25 goals per match, with 100% of their games producing over 1.5 goals. Igor Thiago, with six goals in nine starts, has been key. Can he strike again against Palace’s strong backline? That’s the question hanging over this one.

History leans slightly Brentford’s way. They’ve beaten Palace twice last season, both 2-1 results, and remain unbeaten in six of their last eight head-to-heads. Still, Palace’s home form and confidence after the Liverpool scalp could tilt the balance. Jean-Philippe Mateta, in particular, is lethal at Selhurst Park: 21 goals in 27 home league starts. That kind of record speaks volumes, and Brentford’s defence, conceding an average of two goals per game, will have their hands full.

Expect an open match with plenty of attacking moments. Both sides love to push forward and rely on direct play, especially from throw-ins and quick transitions. The Stats English Premier League data backs it up, both teams see 75% of their fixtures end with both scoring. A draw wouldn’t surprise anyone here, but goals feel inevitable. Whichever way it swings, this London clash promises high energy and real drama under the Selhurst lights.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has strongly criticised the congested December schedule, calling it “irresponsible” for his players’ welfare. With Palace potentially facing five matches in just 11 days, including clashes against Manchester City, Arsenal, and KuPS, Glasner urged football authorities to coordinate better across competitions. He emphasised the need for at least 72 hours between games, citing FIFA’s own recommendations for player recovery. Source: skysports.com.

1X
Crystal Palace have been a fortress at home this season, staying unbeaten in four Premier League games at Selhurst Park. Oliver Glasner’s men thrive under the home crowd, with Jean-Philippe Mateta in excellent scoring form: 21 goals in 27 home starts. While Brentford are strong offensively, their defence has been leaky, conceding two goals per match on average. Palace’s resilience at home, combined with their balanced attack, makes a home win or draw the safer play. Brentford have lost two of their last five away fixtures, often struggling against compact mid-table sides. Palace also boast a 75% “both teams to score” rate, meaning they rarely blank. With both sides level on points and confidence running high after cup wins, a tight game is likely, but Palace’s consistency at home gives them the edge for the 1X outcome.

Over 1.5 Goals
Over 1.5 goals feels like a no-brainer here. Both teams love to attack and their recent records prove it. Palace’s matches average 2.75 goals, while Brentford’s average is an even more explosive 3.25. Each side sees over 1.5 goals in at least 75% of their games. Palace will look to build on their 3-0 win at Liverpool, while Brentford arrive after putting five past Grimsby and three past Liverpool in back-to-back games. Defence isn’t either team’s strong point: the Bees concede two per game, and Palace aren’t far behind. With strikers like Mateta and Thiago in form, this should be an open, back-and-forth affair. Even an early goal could open the floodgates.
