Our prediction for this match: Brighton 2 - 1 Crystal Palace
Brighton vs Crystal Palace Preview
Brighton will be eager to keep their impressive momentum going when they face Crystal Palace for another edition of this fierce rivalry. The Seagulls made it three consecutive wins by beating Sunderland 2-0 away from home, and their recent performances suggest they are growing in confidence. Pascal Struijk is suspended, while Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and Azeez remain sidelined, but Brighton have enough depth to cope with those absences. Jack Hinshelwood is a major doubt, although the hosts will take heart from conceding just 0.2 goals per home game in their recent fixtures.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, finally found some rhythm with a convincing 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, a result that should provide a timely confidence boost. However, Oliver Glasner has several selection problems to address, with Jean-Philippe Mateta, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Chadi Riad injured, while Axel Disasi is suspended again. Palace have been less productive in attack on their travels, averaging just 1.25 goals per away match, so breaking down Brighton’s defence could prove difficult.
Brighton’s strong home form makes them favourites, although the visitors should provide a competitive test. Brighton to win, under 2.5 goals and Crystal Palace under 1.5 team goals look like worthwhile betting options.
