Eberechi Eze is a standout performer for Crystal Palace, making him an excellent choice for a shot on target at 1.30. Eze has registered 6 efforts on target in his last 6 matches and is averaging over 1 shot on target per 90 this term, demonstrating his consistent attacking involvement.

Against a Brentford defence that has conceded 16 shots on target in their last 2 games, Eze’s creativity and attacking prowess make this a strong pick. His ability to find space and exploit gaps in opposition defences ensures he’s always a threat. He will also be on set pieces, giving him ample opportunity to fire at least 1 effort on target.

Jean-Philippe Mateta enters this match in red-hot form, having scored 4 goals in his last 3 appearances. While his season average of 0.95 shots on target per 90 minutes reflects a slow start, he has been much more productive recently, with 9 shots on target in his last 7 matches. The French striker has managed an attempt on target in 6 of these games, proving his reliability in front of goal.

Brentford’s defensive struggles, conceding 16 shots on target in their last 2 matches, present a golden opportunity for Mateta to continue his form. His physicality and positioning in the box make him a constant threat.

Bryan Mbeumo is an exceptional value at 1.80 to register a shot on target. The Brentford forward has been a consistent contributor to their attack, averaging 1.22 shots on target per 90 minutes this season. Mbeumo comes into this match after a solid performance against Liverpool, where he recorded 4 shots on target.

Over his last 8 starts, he has hit the target 14 times, with 7 of these matches seeing him test the goalkeeper. His pace and ability to create space in the final third make him a dangerous asset, particularly against a Crystal Palace defence that can be vulnerable to quick transitions.

Will Hughes is a near-certainty to commit a foul in this match. The Crystal Palace midfielder averages 2.63 fouls per 90 minutes and has fouled in 17 of his last 18 appearances, racking up 39 fouls in total during this period.

Hughes faces a Brentford side that draws an average of 9.96 fouls per game, with dynamic players like Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa likely to force him into defensive actions. This pick is backed by Hughes’ consistent record of committing fouls.

Eze is in scintillating form, making him an great choice for a goal contribution at evens. He has been directly involved in 5 goals across his last 5 matches, scoring twice and providing 3 assists. His average of 0.63 goal contributions per 90 minutes highlights his reliability in the final third.

Brentford’s defensive record, with just 1 clean sheet in their last 5 matches, further boosts Eze’s prospects. Whether it’s through his ability to unlock defences with a killer pass or his composure in front of goal, Eze is a constant threat.

Eze’s ability to draw fouls is often underestimated, but at even money, this bet offers excellent value. He has been fouled 16 times in his last 7 matches, with 5 of these games seeing him fouled twice or more.

Facing a physical Brentford midfield, including players like Nørgaard, who frequently commit fouls, Eze is likely to be targeted again. His dribbling ability and knack for drawing defenders out of position make him a magnet for fouls, further enhancing the appeal of this market.

Will Hughes’ propensity to commit multiple fouls makes this a solid pick at 1.83. He has averaged 2.63 fouls per 90 minutes and has committed 2 or more fouls in 12 of his last 18 appearances.

With 15 fouls in his last 5 matches alone, Hughes’ aggressive style is well-suited to disrupt Brentford’s midfield. His role in breaking up play often sees him commit tactical fouls, making him a prime candidate for multiple infractions in this clash.

Christian Nørgaard averages 1.60 fouls per 90 minutes this season, but he has committed 2 or more fouls in 3 of his last 5 matches, including 3 against Liverpool and 2 against Man City.

Nørgaard’s defensive role often sees him tasked with marking key players like Eze, who averages 2 fouls won per 90 minutes. This makes 1.91 a strong value pick for the Danish midfielder to commit a couple of fouls.
