Brighton – Crystal Palace, Prediction – Premier League

😔 Brighton can’t stand the pressure

After the great victories with clean sheets over Tottenham and Liverpool by Brighton, they were expected to take a little more points than their matches with Burnley, Leicester and Aston Villa. Instead, they scored only 1 goal and won only 2 points from these matches, which is why they remain in the battle for survival to some extent, although in practice it can be seen that they are stronger than the teams in the relegation zone. Brighton is a team that plays attractive football but does not have the players to achieve better results.

⏩ Palace is also not doing well lately

Crystal Palace is just 3 points above Brighton. The Eagles took two wins against the Wolves and Newcastle, but then in the last 2 rounds they lost to Leeds and Burnley at 0 and the most unexpected was the loss to Burnley in the last game, when the Eagles really played quite poorly. Palace plays equally both as a guest and as a host and the statistics themselves show it with almost the same results that the team has achieved at home and on the road.

This is a fierce derby in which we will choose the side of the eagles

 Expert view: For several years in a row, this derby is held twice a season. Although not in the same city, Brighton and Palace have been blood rivals for decades. The statistics are almost equal since the seagulls joined the Premier League. They have 3 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws with Palace. More important in this case, however, is that Brighton have only 1 win as hosts in the league this season. We think that the coefficient for Palace should be a little lower and we do not see how Brighton surpasses the guests. In our opinion, Palace even has some more expensive and classy players than its opponent, so we will boldly bet on Palace +0.5 Asian Handicap on 2.03.
