This is the final home game of the season, and with Brentford sitting 7th—just one point behind Bournemouth for 6th—this is a must-win for European qualification. Palace has had a middling season but remains a defensive nut to crack, as evidenced by their 2–0 win over the Bees back in November.

Brentford’s home form has been their bedrock. They’ve managed to turn the Gtech into a fortress, but they must avoid the "draw trap" that saw them split points with Fulham and Leeds in recent fixtures.
