Premier League Betting Preview: Brighton vs Crystal Palace

Brighton go head-to-head with Crystal Palace at American Express Stadium, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Sunday 8 February.

Can Seagulls Gain the Upper Hand?

Brighton look well priced at -104 to get the better of Crystal Palace, with home advantage a key factor. At the Amex, the Seagulls typically control possession and apply sustained pressure, which often translates into more chances created compared to their away performances. The underlying numbers also favour Brighton. Expected goals data consistently shows them generating a higher attacking threat than Palace, especially at home.

Goalless Draw in Pair’s Last Encounter

Brighton drew their last game 1-1 at home, with the action taking place at American Express Stadium against Everton. Fabian Hurzeler's team managed two shots on target and had 53% possession, with Pascal Gross scoring the goal.

Crystal Palace drew on the road in their previous game. A 1-1 scoreline was played out against Nottingham Forest at City Ground. The Eagles had three shots on goal and boasted 67% possession, with Ismaila Sarr on the scoresheet.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Palace have gone unbeaten in their past three games against Brighton, with the last encounter ending 0-0 at Selhurst Park. The previous 10 H2H games have featured five draws, three victories for Palace and two wins for Brighton.
