Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Brentford
There will be fireworks when Crystal Palace and Brentford square off against each other at Selhurst Park in the London derby. The Eagles are eager to put an end to their eight-game winless run in the Premier League, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The likes of Joel Ward, Rob Holding, Cheick Doucoure, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Nathan Ferguson miss out with injuries, while both Sam Johnstone and Odsonne Edouard are major doubts.
The Bees, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the English top flight. Brentford obviously struggle at the back and that is the main reason why away win should not be considered. In each of their last five meetings in the English top flight the two sides played out a draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Ben Mee is banned for the match, while all Bryan Mbeumo, Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, and Joshua Da Silva miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Eberechi Eze):
Eberechi Eze is a talented football player who was born in Greenwich, England on June 29, 1998. Eze started his youth career at Millwall and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, signing a one-year contract with the capital club.
Eze scored 4 goals in 42 appearances for the Hoops in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, while providing 4 assists for his teammates.His main position is attacking midfield, but he is capable of playing as both right and left midfielder as well. Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.
Given his place of birth, the 173-cm tall midfielder was eligible to play for the England U20 team and he made his debut for the Three Lions on October 11, 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Italy. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
