The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.

Crystal Palace

The Londoners approach the upcoming derby with a five-match unbeaten run in the league (3 wins and 2 draws). This streak has lifted them to 12th place, although they are still six points away from the nearest rival in the top half of the table. The club played their last two Premier League matches away, defeating Leicester and West Ham with identical 2-0 scores. Notably, the team hadn't won two consecutive matches in the Premier League since May of last year.


Midfielders Cheick Doucoure, Adam Wharton, and Matheus Franca, as well as defender Joel Ward, will miss the match due to injuries.


  • The club has suffered only one defeat in their last 11 league games (5 wins and 5 draws).
  • No more than three goals have been scored in Crystal Palace's last five Premier League matches.
  • In their last six home Premier League matches, the team has not won in the first half (3 draws and 3 losses).

Brentford

Thomas Frank's side suffered a disappointing defeat in the previous round, conceding two goals after the 90th minute against Liverpool (0-2). Before that, the team drew with Manchester City (2-2) and thrashed Southampton 5-0. The London club sits one place above Crystal Palace, leading their city rivals by one point. It's worth noting that the team has only one win in their last seven league matches (2 draws and 4 losses).


Defenders Ethan Pinnock and Aaron Hickey, midfielder Josh Dasilva, and forward Gustavo Nunes are sidelined with injuries.


  • At least three goals have been scored in 12 of the club's last 16 Premier League matches.
  • Both teams have scored in 15 of Brentford's last 20 Premier League games.
  • In 8 of their last 9 league matches, the Londoners have won only once in the first half (5 draws and 3 losses).

Crystal Palace vs. Brentford: Match Prediction

Despite Brentford's strong home form, they have struggled away, securing only one away victory this season against the clear underdog, Southampton. In their other nine away matches in the 2024/25 Premier League, Thomas Frank's side has suffered seven defeats, with two draws.


Crystal Palace has claimed six wins in the current league campaign. However, five of these victories have come against teams below them in the standings. The only higher-ranked team they have beaten is Brighton. It's worth noting that Oliver Glasner's side has only defeated a struggling Tottenham and Southampton at home this season.


Therefore, I believe the opponents will not be able to determine a winner in this London derby. Incidentally, a draw was the outcome in 4 of their last 6 Premier League meetings. My prediction: Draw

Betting tips 26 Jan 2025

Crystal Palace have been one of the most prolific points earners over the last five games, with three wins and two draws, rewarding them with their highest position in this season's standings (12th).

They emerge as favourites in this London derby. In addition to maintaining their impressive form, Crystal Palace have significantly tightened their defence, conceding only three goals in five matches. Previously, they had not conceded many more, typical of a team around the 15th spot (25 goals in 17 games), but their low goal-scoring had been a disadvantage. Now, that has been compensated for, leading to these outcomes. Some might think they’ve had an easy schedule, but aside from facing Chelsea (1:1), they played three away matches and remained unbeaten (two wins and one draw).

Brentford, meanwhile, have had massive issues with their away games. Up to January, they hadn't won any and secured only two points on the road in nine matches. The main reason — they scored little, averaging no more than a goal per game while conceding nearly two (1.8). Their first away victory came on 4 January, but it's a flimsy argument for another victory. They thrashed the bottom side Southampton (5:0), who have only taken points in four of their 22 games.

Crystal Palace's defence is solid, and they have also improved in attack in January, scoring five goals in three games, making them the likely winners in this bout.
