Crystal Palace Review
The home team comes to this 2 nd round after the loss in their league debut, against Chelsea, by (3‑0). Curiously, this is a team that has been stronger away than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in their stadium. Crystal Palace has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in the 7 matches they have conceded the first goal.
Crystal Palace comes unmotivated for this match after an away defeat, by 3-0, against Chelsea’s stadium. The home team usually acts in a 4-4-2 tactical system, favoring a more leisurely style of play, attacking through the center aisle. In this drawing, the two men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Jean-Philippe Mateta and Wilfried Zaha. It should be noted that when he invests in the offensive process, he usually does it through the left aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by lateral Tyrick Mitchell. Coach Patrick Vieira is unlikely to be able to count on Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson because they are injured.
Brentford Analysis
The away team comes to this 2 nd round after the victory in their league debut, against Arsenal, by (2‑0). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they have similar results at home and away, as in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with a total of 25 goals scored and 14 conceded. At home, they won 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats, with a total of 22 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Brentford has won 6, drawn 3 and lost 1. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have managed to score in 8 of the last 10 matches.
Brentford comes motivated for this match after a home win, by 2-0, against Arsenal: Canos in the first half and Norgaard in the second scored the goals of this excellent victory. The visiting team usually plays in a 5-3-2, favoring a faster style of play, attacking through the side aisles. The two arrows aimed at the “enemy’s” beam will be Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo, with midfielder Christian Norgaard being responsible for defining and leading his team’s attacks. Vitaly Janelt, Frank Onyeka and Christian Norgaard may play in the most central part of the field. Coach Thomas Frank is expected to have only two absences for this round: Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen are still recovering from injury.
