Prediction: 2-2
Brighton
Crystal Palace will be looking to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Brighton in the Premier League round 18 opener. The Eagles showed character against Man City, with the team scoring two late goals to share the spoils with the title holders and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Brighton. All Johnstone, Rak-Sakyi, Holding, Edouard, and Doucoure are sidelined with injuries, while Joel Ward should recover in time to face the Seagulls.
Brighton, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal, but they are surely capable of matching Palace at Selhurst Park. As both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the English top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Solly March, and Julio Enciso should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Eberechi Eze):
Eberechi Eze is a talented football player who was born in Greenwich, England on June 29, 1998. Eze started his youth career at Millwall and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, signing a one-year contract with the capital club.
Eze scored 4 goals in 42 appearances for the Hoops in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, while providing 4 assists for his teammates.His main position is attacking midfield, but he is capable of playing as both right and left midfielder as well. Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.
Given his place of birth, the 173-cm tall midfielder was eligible to play for the England U20 team and he made his debut for the Three Lions on October 11, 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Italy. His preferred foot is right.
