Premier League Preview

It continues to be a strange period in the season for Brighton, as they are really struggling to pick up victories in the competition. The Seagulls remain eighth in the standings, but they have recorded just a single win in their last six. Over that period, they have played out three draws, with a recent setback being suffered against Luton on Tuesday. 

It was a really poor performances against the Hatters, as the Seagulls conceded four goals, with two coming inside the opening three minutes. Brighton offered little in the final third throughout that match, and they have now gone five on the road without a victory. The defeat was also their biggest on the road since a 6-1 hammering at Aston Villa last September.

The pressure eased on Roy Hodgson slightly in midweek, as the Eagles were able to end a turbulent run of form by landing a hard-fought victory over Sheffield United. That win has lifted them up to 14th in the standings, and they are now eight points clear of the drop zone. A win this weekend could see them end the round in 12th. 

It was a strong home showing by the Eagles, as they came from behind on two occasions against the Blades. Eberechi Eze was the star of the show after netting twice, while Michael Olise also found the back of the net. However, both are doubts this weekend after limping off at Selhurst Park on Tuesday. 

Brighton vs Crystal Palace Head to Head

Brighton landed a 1-0 victory in this exact fixture last season. However, the previous meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw. That was the fourth match in five to end in a draw by the same scoreline. Palace haven’t won away from home against Brighton since February 2021. 

Brighton vs Crystal Palace Prediction

A huge response will be expected by Brighton after their poor display against Luton in midweek, but Palace would have built confidence in their recent fixture. Therefore, a likely result could once again be a score draw between these two sides.
