Brighton – Crystal Palace : Preview & Prediction
Brighton is having a very good season, and is currently in the first half of the table in England. With a game behind West Ham, the Seagulls could even come back to 4 points from fifth place if successful. Brighton have won their last two games, and even remain in four games without a setback. The club have just qualified for the 4th round of the FA Cup where they will travel to Tottenham in early February, leaving West Bromwich Albion (1-2). Neal Maupay’s team-mates have a tough schedule with this reception followed by Chelsea, a trip to Leicester followed by the infamous Cup game at Tottenham.
Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace are also having an interesting season, and have a strong lead over the relegation firsts with a comfortable 12-point mattress over Burnley and Newcastle. It is difficult to see the Eagles completely crack and join the second division, and they can therefore play much more relaxed. They do not manage to chain the successes, and remain quite inconsistent in terms of results. After losing 3-0 to Tottenham just after Christmas, they crushed Norwich 3-0 before losing 2-3 to West Ham to start 2022. They have, however, just qualified for the next round in the FA Cup, to the detriment of Millwall (1-2).
Brighton is ninth in the Premier League.
Brighton has a record of 6 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses in the league this year.
Crystal Palace is 12th in the Premier League.

The prediction “both teams to score” has been passed in 8 of the last 9 meetings between these two teams, and in the last three games.
Two teams with a fairly similar level, and which are expected to play in the middle of the table this year in the Premier League. Which should give us an open game, with at least one goal for each team, as is almost always the case when facing each other. Both teams score!
