Brentford’s aim to reach Europe would get a significant boost with a win over potentially-weary Crystal Palace at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
The Bees sit eighth with 51 points, just three points clear of 12th and two back of seventh-place Brighton. A win would be massive and they may just have the right opponent.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace prediction
It’s a terrific opportunity for the Bees to get more than a point. even if Palace were plenty rotated at midweek. Igor Thiago could even put some very mild heat on Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race. Maybe. Brentford 2-0 Palace.
