Brighton vs Crystal Palace prediction 03.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 03.02.2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Amex Stadium (Brighton)

Brighton is a team that initially promised promising results at the season’s start. However, as the season advanced, the absence of key players and unfortunate injuries began to take a toll. It’s likely that Brighton has altered their starting 11 more than any other team, Newcastle being the exception. Their unexpected 4-0 defeat to Luton in the previous round was a setback, but it would be unfair to place too much blame on the Brighton players, who currently lack tactical readiness.

Crystal Palace’s inconsistent play in recent rounds has worked in their favor in terms of positioning. They secured a crucial win against Sheffield Utd at home in the last round, despite being at a disadvantage at one point during the game. They currently hold a 6-point lead over Everton, who are in a precarious position. Given Crystal Palace’s resolve, it’s not hard to deduce that they stand a good chance of remaining in the Premier League by the end of the season.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Brighton has remained unbeaten in their last 10 home games, and their progression to the 1/8 finals of the Europa League marks this as the club’s most successful season ever. Their performance in European competitions has outdone their previous impressive season. However, multiple injuries have impacted their Premier League results, while Crystal Palace has shown improvement. A challenging match is anticipated, with the last 5 out of 8 and 8 out of the last 9 direct duels ending with under 2.5 goals. We predict another low-scoring match, with a maximum of 2 goals.
