Brentford vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Stalemate looks the sensible play on Sunday

Neither Brentford or Crystal Palace come into their Premier League clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday (15:00 BST, Sky Sports Football) in inspiring form. The Bees need to make the most of their last two fixtures to boost their chances of securing European football next term. 

My Brentford vs Crystal Palace predictions can be found below, aided by the latest team news and match odds from Betfred.

Team News

Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo remain confined to Brentford's treatment room with knee injuries, while Rico Henry is also there with a hamstring issue.

With just one win in five, Keith Andrews may consider a fresh approach with his team selection here, so there could be recalls for Dango Ouattara and Jordan Henderson.

Premier League Odds

Palace remain without the services of Evann Guessand, Cheick Doucoure (both knee), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), while Borna Sosa (knock) will need to be assessed ahead of kick-off.

Oliver Glasner may promote Ismaila Sarr, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Adam Wharton to the XI after they were named on the bench in Wednesday's defeat at Manchester City.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace Odds

Brentford are 8/11 to win successive home games in the league for the first time since November.

The Bees have drawn three of their last four home outings and the stalemate here is on offer at 3/1.

Palace are a 10/3 bet to complete the double over their hosts.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored in the reverse fixture and he is 7/4 to strike anytime on Sunday.

Today's Football Fixtures

Match Result - Draw @ 3/1

Brentford have still got a shot at European football so they will be fired up for these final two rounds of fixtures.

Palace are in mid-table and have a small chance of qualifying domestically, but they can have a direct route if they win their UEFA Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, which is their main focus in these final weeks of the campaign.

The Eagles will still want to keep themselves sharp, however, so I am expecting them to still be competitive in the Premier League. I think they can come away with a point in west London because they recently drew at home against Everton and Brentford have experienced three stalemates across their previous four home games in the top flight.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 4/6

I also believe backing both teams to find the net on Sunday is a sensible bet because six of the past seven Premier League meetings have produced goals at both ends.

BTTS - Yes has also struck in five of Palace's nine most recent outings in the league coming into this clash. Additionally, six of Brentford's last 12 fixtures in the top flight have seen both sides get on the scoresheet.
