Brighton – Crystal Palace Predictions and Preview

  • On Sunday, Premier League rivals Brighton and Crystal Palace will meet again at the Amex Stadium. The hosts are looking for their third consecutive home league victory. The last time they had such a long streak was between 1979 and 1988, when they had seven consecutive victories. However, after a 2-2 draw with Leicester last week, in which they lost the game in the 85th minute, their confidence may have been shaken.
  • Under the leadership of Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton has the joint-longest winless streak in his tenure (2 draws, 1 loss). However, they are one of three teams in the division that have not been beaten at home so far this season (3 wins, 4 draws). The Brighton fans will be expecting a return to winning ways. This has not always been the case when they take on teams in the bottom four, as they have drawn in each of their last five such fixtures.
  • Crystal Palace, on the other hand, will be eager to escape the relegation zone. They have had a four-match unbeaten run, which has given them a four-point lead ahead of the weekend (1 win, 3 draws). Last weekend, Oliver Glasner’s team held defending champions Manchester City to a 2-2 draw, but the Austrian was left with mixed emotions as the Eagles took the lead twice.
  • Palace will be looking to build momentum on the road, where their current three-match unbeaten streak is their longest since early 2022 (1 win, 2 draws). Securing a first set of back-to-back away wins since April 2023 would be timely, especially because Palace have failed to win any of their last six home games at any venue (4 draws, 2 losses).
  • Players to watch:
  • – Brighton captain Lewis Dunk scored the opening goal in the last meeting between the teams in February (W 4-1). It was his first goal in 16 home games against Palace (W4, D7, L5). Two of his five senior red cards have come against the Eagles.
  • – Visiting midfielder Will Hughes has faced no opposition more often than Brighton (17), and he arrives in good form after grabbing a pair of assists against City last week.
  • Hot stat:
  • Brighton have dropped 14 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season. Only Fulham and Ipswich had surrendered more points going into this round.
