A 4-1 rout with multiple catastrophic mistakes, against Wolves, will mean the Bees are feeling low heading into this match. But, coupled with Palace’s atrocious record of late, one simply cannot bank on either pulling a result out of the bag.
Scoring at Selhurst
Goals will fly at Selhurst Park, make no mistake of this, as two floundering sides see this as an opportunity to claim some critical points, they will be pushing hell for leather, desperate to snap their winless streaks.
This is something that has been a core tenant of their games of late, as they attempt to overcome their faults with goals.
Four of Brentford's last five games have seen the over 2 goal line hit, whilst Palace only see this fall to three of their last five.
Both sides will have their tails up sensing the opportunity for points, something that will no doubt drive them and the scoreline upwards.

Keeping it clean at the park
Neither of these sides have been particularly egregious in their infractions of late, and when they meet this calmness should prevail, resulting in a quiet game for the ref.
Palace average a mere 2.05 cards per game and earn themselves two or more cards in 53% of their games.
Brentford only sees this rise slightly to 2.39 cards per game, and yet only earns two or more cards in every other match they play.
This boils down to two sides that fail to leave much of a mark on their opponents, and as they prepare to face off, should carry little threat of seeing more than five cards.

Outstanding Olise returns
Michael Olise missed much of the first half of the season with a hamstring injury but has since returned to the side with a bang, looking to help them into some points.
He has scored or assisted thrice in back-to-back games now and looks to be one of the core playmakers in the side, with much of the attacking threat stemming from his boot.
He possesses the highest xA in the side presently and always looks dangerous in front of goal, which combined looks to set him up as the likeliest to get his name on the scoresheet in any way.
