Crystal Palace vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday evening, the duel between Crystal Palace and Brighton is on the program in South London, better known as the M23 derby. Last season, Crystal Palace lost both duels with Brighton, so The Eagles have to put things right on Monday evening.
Crystal Palace:
Crystal Palace has achieved reasonable results in recent weeks. After defeats against, among others, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, The Eagles have recently had a taste. More than two weeks ago, Burnley was first beaten 0-2 and three days later, Roy Hodgson’s team was also 1-0 too strong for AFC Bournemouth. Last weekend, Crystal Palace played 0-0 at the same time, visiting Watford, which was perhaps a disappointment for The Eagles.
After sixteen games, the counter at Crystal Palace is at 22 points. The lead over the teams competing against relegation has risen in recent weeks and this Crystal Palace should normally also be able to maintain itself in the Premier League. Mamadou Sakho is missing in the M23 derby on Monday-evening due to a suspension and the Dutchman Patrick van Aanholt is not fit enough to play when Brighton & Hove Albion is the opponent at Selhurst Park. As a result, there is a good chance that Hodgson – in the absence of better – of course – will choose to position Jaïro Riedewald as a left back, also because Jeffrey Schlupp is in the rag basket just like Van Aanholt.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
At Brighton & Hove Albion they are confident that they can achieve a good result when they visit Crystal Palace. The Seagulls took nineteen points in sixteen games and would be on par with Crystal Palace in a win on Monday-evening. After three consecutive defeats, Brighton & Hove Albion has now been unbeaten for two consecutive games, as The Seagulls grabbed a point at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend after the 1-2 win at Arsenal: 2-2.
Last season, Brighton at Selhurst Park was 1-2 strong for Crystal Palace. On behalf of The Seagulls, Glenn Murray and Anthony Knockaert were accurate in East London. Knockaert now plays with Fulham in the Championship, but while the now 36-year-old Murray is mainly keeping the couch warm at Brighton & Hove Albion. Dale Stephens took his fifth yellow card of the season against Wolverhampton and is therefore suspended for this derby.
