Brighton - Crystal Palace Prediction, Picks and Tips
The Premier League stage begins with a match that does not pit two of England's strongest teams against each other. But the game Brighton vs Crystal Palace promises to be extremely interesting and balanced. Both teams are in the middle of the standings and, most likely, they will end the season there. If the "seagulls" come after four consecutive games without defeat in all competitions, the "crystal eagles" are not in good shape at all when it comes to away matches. But they have an important moral advantage in direct duels against the southerners.
The "Seagulls" have never been a pretentious team in European cup places. But they haven't even shaken near the relegation zone in recent seasons. Things are similar this time, when Brighton is in 9th place, after 19 Premier League matches. Potter's students are not far from West Ham's 5th place (seven points), given that they have a game in hand. Brighton recently went through a difficult period in Albion. The Southerners had 11 unsuccessful games in the Premier League. However, that series was stopped, and now the hosts are coming after the victories with Brentford (2-0) and Everton (3-2), respectively the draw on Stamford Bridge vs Chelsea (1-1). Last weekend, Brighton qualified for the FA Cup after a 2-1 draw with West Brom overtime. Crystal Palace alternates excellent results with the least good. But in general, the defeats of the "crystal eagles" come far from their own ground, where they have nine defeats in 11 stages. In the last three rounds of the Premier League, Palace was defeated by Tottenham (0-3) and West Ham (2-3), but defeated Norwich (3-0). In the FA Cup, the "red-blues" beat Milwall 2-1. Crystal Palace is close to Brighton in the standings. More precisely, on position 11, with 23 points obtained. There are four "lengths" under the opponents on Friday night, but also an extra match played. However, Palace can stay calm, with the 12 points that separate it from the relegation places.
