The most recent fixture here ended in a 1-1 draw, featuring goals from Jordan Ayew (45′) for Crystal Palace and Danny Welbeck (82′) for Brighton. It’s crucial to consider the home/away form, as Crystal Palace has displayed different performances at home compared to away matches.

Team analysis: Crystal Palace

After 10 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses, the home team is sitting in 12th place with 39 points. Their last outing resulted in a 1-1 draw against Southampton, following a home victory against Ipswich Town (1-0). Interestingly, Crystal Palace has been stronger away, achieving 10 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss in their last 30 away games, compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home. In their last 10 home fixtures in the league, they have secured 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 12 points from a possible 30. Their attack has been consistent, scoring at least once in the last 10 league matches, although they’ve only managed a comeback in 1 of the 14 games where they conceded first. Notably, six out of their 17 goals at home have come between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Crystal Palace enters this match after a 1-1 draw. Against Southampton, they are on a four-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, with Matheus França netting their only goal. The home side typically employs a 3-4-3 tactical setup, with Jean-Philippe Matteta, Ismaïla Sarr, and Eberechi Eze leading the attack. They prefer exploiting the right flank, utilising the width created by defender Daniel Muñoz. Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riyadh remain sidelined due to injuries.

Team analysis: Brighton

Currently in 7th position with 47 points, Brighton has tallied 12 wins, 11 draws, and 7 losses. Their most recent match saw them suffer a defeat at home to Aston Villa (0-3), following a hard-fought 2-2 draw away at Manchester City. Brighton’s overall performance does not heavily depend on home advantage, as they maintain similar results whether playing at home or away. Their last 30 matches have produced 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, with 28 goals scored and 26 conceded. At home, their record is slightly better with 6 victories, 5 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 21 and conceding 20. In league play, Brighton has achieved 16 points from the last 30, with 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 away games. It’s noteworthy that the most common half-time score in their league matches has been 0-1, which has occurred in 6 of their last 15 games. Defensively, they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 fixtures; however, their attacking prowess has been more reliable, managing to score in 7 of those games. Away fixtures tend to feature goals, with 11 out of 15 ending with more than 2.5 strikes on the board. Across 30 matches this season, they have failed to recover in 3 of the 12 instances where they fell behind.

Brighton comes into this match following a 0-3 embarrassment at the hands of Aston Villa, thus ending a five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. Manager Fabian Hürzeler usually adopts a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on quick transitions, particularly exploiting the flanks. Within this setup, Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adinegra, and João Pedro are pivotal in threatening the opposition’s defence. They predominantly attack down the left-wing, utilising the pace offered by full-back Pervis Stupiñán. Missing for this encounter are Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, James Milner, and Igor, all due to injuries.
