Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips | 30th August 2022
Crystal Palace will be looking to recover from their 4-2 loss against Manchester City as they prepare to host Brentford at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.
Crystal Palace relinquished a 2-0 lead as Manchester City picked up their second comeback win in two weeks this past Saturday. A John Stones own goal and a Joachim Andersen strike fired Patrick Vieira's men into a two-goal lead as early as the 21st minute of the game.
City pulled one back through Bernardo Silva in the 53th minute before Erling Haaland struck a 20-minute hat-trick to seal the game for Pep Guardiola's men. But there were plenty of positives to take away from that performance for the Eagles.
Palace showed a lot of character and organization until it was too difficult to match the sheer quality that City have in their ranks as they were subjected to wave after wave of attacks. Palace have one win, one draw and two losses from their first four games of the new season and are currently sitting 12th in the table.
Meanwhile, Brentford came from behind to deny Everton their first win of the season on Saturday. Everton took the lead through Anthony Gordon in the 24th minute and kept it intact for an hour before Vitaly Janelt equalized with a little more than five minutes of normal time remaining.
Thomas Frank's side took the game to Everton and had the lion's share of the possession (58%) and registered five shots on target. The Bees have salvaged a point in two games where they've gone into half time trailing so far this term.
