Brentford v Crystal Palace Predictions

Going into the opening league fixture, both teams will be keen to get off to a flyer. For that reason, we’re betting both teams to score in this one. Both games in the league between these two last season saw both teams on the scoresheet, and this one will be another open, end-to-end encounter.

Ivan Toney is Brentford’s main man in attack, and will again be their main outlet going into this season. They will be hoping to keep him at the club for the full season, amongst interest from several traditional top-six clubs. He averaged over one shot on target last season, with 22 in his 17 league appearances. We’re backing him to have at least one here.

We fancy two players to be carded in this fixture. Jefferson Lerma picked up eight yellow cards in the league last season, with the midfielder making 43 fouls in his 28 league appearances, an average well over one per game. Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard made 41 fouls in his 31 appearances last season, also picking up eight yellow cards. We fancy both of these two to enter the referee’s book this weekend.
