Brighton Betting Preview
Brighton comes into this game sitting in 8th place in the standings having picked up 32 points. Brighton have found success this season, but they have hit a little rough patch. In the last three games in the English Premier League, Brighton has failed to score any goals. In the last game against Luton Town, the defense was also awful giving up four goals. Not only did Brighton lose, they also suffered a couple of bad injuries. James Milner had to come out after only 20 minutes with a thigh injury. Joao Pedro also came off with an unknown injury, and it’s unclear his status going forward.
Crystal Palace Betting Preview
Crystal Palace sits in 14th place in the standings having picked up 24 points. On Tuesday, Crystal Palace faced off against Sheffield United and they were able to secure a 3-2 victory. Eberechi Eze scored in the 17th and 27th minute and helped pace the team to victory. Crystal Palace had 54 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Eze suffered an injury in the last game and it looks like it could end up being a problem for a while. In this game, Crystal Palace really needs to try and put the pressure on early and get that first goal.
Brighton vs Crystal Palace Betting Prediction
Brighton is dealing with issues with scoring, and I am not so sure they are going to magically figure it out here. Crystal Palace scored three goals in the last game, but they aren’t going to run up the score here. Brighton is going to have better defense here, and they aren’t going to score more than a goal here. This game is going to end up being lower scoring, and this game is going to stay under the total.
