In their last 5 games Brentford has managed 13 of a possible 15 points. They have been on fire to start this season as well with the second most goals from the first two weeks and an Xgoal total of 5.9. Palace has an Xgoal total of 2.9. For Palace this is a continuation of last season where only two of the relegation sisters scored less than them. And that was with the now departed Zaha. Olise was supposed to help remedy this, but he is still injured. Palace is really up against it as Brentford has an Xgoals against so far of 1.7. Brentford can score and defend. Brentford also had the most big chances missed this season with 5 so a regression to the mean should result in even more goals. Palace not only can’t score, they aren’t generating big chances, as they have only missed 2 and have only scored once so far. Last week when Arsenal was reduced to 10 men, Palace still couldn’t generate much. Brentford also has the 2nd most shots on target while Palace has the 12th most. Take Brentford for the win on this one.
