Crystal Palace come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend. The Eagles conceded an early goal from the penalty spot and went 2-0 down in the 62nd minute.
With Manchester United down to ten men, Crystal Palace pulled a goal back but could not find the equaliser in the closing stages.
That result means Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their last 6 fixtures in all competitions. They have lost to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester United in the Premier League plus Southampton in the FA Cup.
Crystal Palace did manage to pick up points at home in the Premier League thanks to draws with Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Home form in the league shows Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their 4 most recent matches. However, they are undefeated in 5 of their last 7 home Premier League games, winning 3 of those matches.
Trends show Crystal Palace have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 11 home league fixtures.
Brighton make the short trip to Selhurst Park having recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at home in the Premier League last weekend. The Seagulls were made to work hard for the win and scored the only goal of the game in the 87th minute.
The win over Bournemouth means Brighton are undefeated in their last 6 games in all competitions.
They have won 5 of those 6 matches, with the victories coming over Everton, Liverpool, and Bournemouth in the league plus Middlesbrough and Liverpool in the FA Cup. The draw was at Leicester City in the Premier League.
Away form in the league shows Brighton are undefeated in their last 4 matches on the road. They have won 3 of those 4 games and scored 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 10 away Premier League fixtures.
However, Brighton have achieved just 1 win from their last 8 away games against Crystal Palace in all competitions.
Team news and Crystal Palace are without injured forward Wilfried Zaha. They also have doubts over the fitness of Joachim Andersen, James McArthur, and Nathan Ferguson.
Brighton are expected to be without the injured trio of Levi Colwill, Evan Ferguson, and Adam Lallana.
Crystal Palace are in a difficult period whereas Brighton are flying. The Seagulls have struggled to beat The Eagles on their own turf in recent times but that could be about to change in this match. We expect to see Brighton take maximum points, with both teams scoring.
