Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Monday’s game between Crystal Palace and Brighton will bring down the curtain on day 6 of the new Premier League campaign. Following a thrilling 3-0 win over Spurs, the Eagles suffered an expected 3-0 loss at Liverpool. Crystal Palace aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and the good news for the hosts is that Wilfried Zaha has been making progress week by week. Both Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson are out of contention with injuries, while summer signing Odsonne Edouard is pushing for a start.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, did well to beat Leicester City 2-1 in their last league match. Brighton aim to retain their spot in top four, but beating Palace on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Selhurst Park, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Defender Adam Webster misses out through injury, while midfielder Pascal Gross is a major doubt.

Max Meyer is a footballer who began his youth career at Sardegna Oberhausen. He played for the likes of Rot-Weiss Oberhausen and Duisburg during his youth career as well and in 2009 he joined Schalke 04. Mayer played just one match for the reserve team and he scored a brace against Velbert on his debut for Schalke II.

Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.

Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
