Brentford is coming into this match with a very similar squad from last season, but this year they will have Ivan Toney available right from the start. They will be pushing to start the season on the right foot at home and they have a lot of quality in their attack that will create scoring chances in this match. They have struggled on defense though and they have not made many improvements to their defense this season so they are still going to be vulnerable to allowing a lot of goals. They are going up against a Crystal Palace side that was playing in very good form to end the season last year. They were scoring a lot more goals in their matches and a lot of that has to do with their new manager who really pushed them to get after their opponent in matches. They will be looking to continue that mindset here for a strong start to the season and they still have a lot of quality in their attack that will find the net. They did lose a big piece in the transfer window in Olise, but he was not even their leading goal scorer last season and they have plenty of quality to fill in the hole that he left. These two have struggled to keep each other out of their net recently as both teams have scored in their last 4 straight meetings, and there is going to be goals in this match as both teams look to collect 3 points from this match. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
