Brighton Preview – Can Brighton pull away from bottom three?
Although they hold a 4-point cushion above the relegation zone, Brighton will still feel they’ll need to put further distance between themselves and third from bottom club, West Ham, ahead of the rest of this weekend’s matches as they prepare for the visit of their rivals, Crystal Palace.
This fixture isn’t a local derby in the traditional sense but nevertheless, a fierce rivalry has sprung up in recent years between these two teams and Brighton will be keen to make home advantage count in this clash. The hosts have now gone 7 matches without a win which includes 5 draws.
Indeed, Graham Potter’s side have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 12 matches overall in the Premier League which was a 2-0 home win over south coast rivals, Bournemouth, but The Seagulls have struggled for wins this term.
That said, Brighton are unbeaten in their last 4 at home but it’s the lack of goals which makes the under 2.5 market appealing as 10 of Brighton’s 13 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Crystal Palace Preview – Can Crystal Palace build on Newcastle result?
Roy Hodgson’s Palace side ended a dismal run of 3 defeats on the trot in last weekend’s 1-0 home win over Newcastle United and in turn also eased their relegation fears as the visitors now possess a useful 9-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Recent defeats to Southampton and Sheffield United both on home turf at Selhurst Park were followed by a heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at Everton, so last week’s win would have come as welcome relief for The Eagles.
Nevertheless, league wins in the top flight have also been in short supply for Palace as they’ve captured just 1 win out of their last 8 matches overall, while 7 of Crystal Palace’s 13 away matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals.
