Our predictions for Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Match Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
Crystal Palace, buoyed by their recent home victories against Brentford and Liverpool, will look to exploit their strong form at Selhurst Park. Their attacking flair, demonstrated in the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth, suggests they could pose significant threats to Brighton's defence. However, Brighton's away form, highlighted by their impressive win against Chelsea, indicates they are capable of causing upsets on the road. This match could be a closely contested affair, with both teams likely to engage in an open, attacking game.
Brighton's recent performances show a team that can both dominate and be vulnerable. Their 3-0 home win over Leeds United showcases their potential to control games, but the 2-4 loss to Manchester United suggests defensive frailties that Palace might exploit. Crystal Palace's ability to score against top teams like Liverpool could be crucial, but they must be wary of Brighton's potent attack, led by players like Welbeck. The game might hinge on which team can better manage the transitions and capitalise on their opponent's mistakes.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Crystal Palace
