Brighton vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting tips
The round of play in the Premier League ends with the M23 derby between Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace. Both teams still have to collect some points to be officially safe. Brighton and Crystal Palace are therefore only too happy to take some points from the rival on Monday evening.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
Brighton & Hove Albion has been in good shape in recent weeks. The club of the Dutchmen Joel Veltman, Davy Propper and the Belgian Leandro Trossard, among others, remained unbeaten in the last six league games. For a club like Brighton, that is an excellent series. Brighton also managed to win three of those six games. With that, it has taken some steps in the Premier League rankings. The Graham Potter team, on the other hand, is not there yet: Brighton still needs the necessary points to be definitively safe. The counter now stands at 26 points after 24 games. Last season, Brighton finished on no less than 41 points.
With fourteen games to go, it is certainly possible that Brighton will again end around 40 points this season. Especially if it continues the results of the last games. It has been more than nine days since Potter’s team last played a game. Last Saturday, Brighton played a scoreless draw against Aston Villa in-house. Central defender Adam Webster had to miss some Brighton matches in recent weeks and this M23 derby also comes just too early for the 26-year-old man. Potter also has to miss a lot of other players during the clash with Crystal Palace, although Brighton’s injury list contrasts with that of the opponent.
Crystal Palace:
Earlier this season, Crystal Palace seemed to grab three points in the home game against Brighton. The Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the nineteenth minute by a utilized penalty kick from Wilfred Zaha. However, Crystal Palace was unable to pull the lead over the line: Brighton scored the equalizer at Selhurst Park in extra time. Crystal Palace’s lead over Brighton is currently three points and Roy Hodgson’s side is keen to widen that gap. The problem is, Crystal Palace is totally out of shape.
For example, Crystal Palace lost 2-0 against Leeds United two weeks ago. Such a defeat can of course happen, as Leeds United are doing well in the Premier League. The defeat that Crystal Palace suffered at Selhurst Park against Burnley last weekend was harder. In East London, Crystal Palace was already 0-2 behind after ten minutes. Shortly after the break, Burnley determined the final score at 0-3. Remarkably, Palace had to face both Leeds and Burnley without star player Zaha. So, in both games, The Eagles didn’t even score. The Ivorian striker is also not present against Brighton at Crystal Palace, which has to miss a total of eight players during this M23 derby.
