Brighton host Crystal Palace looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League. As Palace have been scoring goals for fun on the road, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Yankuba Minteh is pushing for a start after coming off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Everton, while Brighton’s home form has been slightly better than on the road, with 1.5 points per game, scoring 1 goal per home match and conceding 0.5, with BTTS landing in 50% of home fixtures. Their expected goals of 1.65 at home suggests they create decent chances but need to improve finishing.
Crystal Palace arrive with midfielder Adam Wharton back from suspension but continue to struggle, remaining winless on the road (0.33 PPG away) and scoring just 0.83 goals per away match, while conceding 2. BTTS has landed in 83% of Palace away fixtures, reflecting defensive vulnerabilities. Key attacker Jean-Philippe Mateta should return to the starting XI after his deal with AC Milan has been called off.
Given the attacking potential of both sides, BTTS is our main betting tip, alongside Over 1.5 goals (79% H2H) and Brighton Over 1.5.
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 8 February 2026 at 14:00.
