Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are enjoying a remarkable run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. The Eagles have secured four wins and two draws during this period, demonstrating their resilience and defensive prowess with an impressive four clean sheets. Their goal-scoring has been consistent, albeit not prolific, with an average of 1.33 goals per game. However, it's their defensive record that stands out, conceding a mere 0.33 goals per game over the last six matches. Palace's current streak of six games without defeat is particularly noteworthy, especially considering their mid-table position. The team's performances have been characterised by tight, low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their most recent outings have been especially encouraging, with Palace securing three consecutive victories, including two away wins in the Premier League without conceding a goal.

Brentford

Brentford's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Bees struggling to string together consecutive positive results. They have managed just one win in their last six matches, a resounding 5-0 victory away at Southampton, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite their mid-table position, Brentford have shown defensive resilience, keeping two clean sheets in their last six outings. However, their goal-scoring record has been mixed, with an average of 1.33 goals scored per game, matching their goals conceded. The team's ability to compete with top sides is evident in their recent 2-2 draw against Manchester City, but their FA Cup exit to lower-league Plymouth Argyle suggests vulnerability against less fancied opponents. Brentford's last six matches have been evenly split between under and over 2.5 goals, indicating a balance between tight contests and more open affairs.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been a mix of resilience and inconsistency. The Eagles have managed to remain unbeaten in five of their last six matches at Selhurst Park, showcasing their ability to compete against top-tier opposition like Chelsea and Manchester City. However, their goal-scoring output has been relatively modest, averaging just 1.33 goals per game. The standout fixture in this run was undoubtedly the high-scoring encounter against Arsenal, where Palace suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat, significantly impacting their goals conceded average. Despite this setback, Palace have shown defensive improvements, securing a clean sheet in their most recent home game against Stockport County in the FA Cup. The team's ability to find the back of the net consistently is evident, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches, providing excitement for the home fans.

Brentford

Brentford's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their latest result being a standout 5-0 thrashing of Southampton, marking their only win in the last six away matches. The Bees have struggled on the road, enduring a three-game losing streak before their most recent victory. Defensively, they've shown improvement, securing three clean sheets in their last six away fixtures, including back-to-back goalless draws against Brighton and Everton. However, their attacking prowess has been inconsistent, with the Southampton match accounting for more than half of their total goals scored in these six games. The high-scoring affair at St. Mary's Stadium is particularly noteworthy, as it contrasts sharply with their otherwise modest goal tally. Despite their mid-table position, Brentford's away performances have been characterised by a tendency towards higher-scoring matches, with 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals.
