Prediction models rely on historical trends and recent form. Over the last nine head-to-head meetings, seven matches have gone over 1.5 goals and both teams scored in six of them, according to FootyStats (football data aggregator). That pattern suggests another open game, though only three of those nine matches exceeded 2.5 goals (FootyStats).

• Sofascore’s match context shows Brentford (9th) are four places above Palace (15th) in the Premier League table (Sofascore).
• Brentford have won two of the last nine meetings, Palace also two; five draws (FootyStats).

Crystal Palace vs Brentford last match

Last match result 2-2

The most recent meeting on 2026-05-17 at the Gtech Community Stadium ended in a 2-2 draw. Brentford took an early lead through Dango Ouattara, but Ismaila Sarr equalised from the spot before half-time. Ouattara then scored his second to put Brentford ahead again, and Palace fought back to salvage a point (BBC Sport).

Match highlights and key moments

• 20′ – Ouattara opens the scoring (Brentford 1-0)
• 38′ – Sarr penalty after a handball in the box (1-1)
• 65′ – Ouattara’s second from a deflected shot (Brentford 2-1)
• 82′ – Palace equalise through a close-range finish from Eze (2-2)

BBC Sport described the performance as “Ouattara’s double earning Brentford a draw” (BBC Sport). Both teams had opportunities to win it in the dying minutes, but the result was a fair reflection of an even contest.

The catch: Palace’s inability to hold a lead twice underscores their defensive fragility away from home.
