After a heavy 3-0 loss to Aston Villa, they managed a commendable 2-2 draw against a strong Manchester City side and a narrow 2-1 victory over Fulham. Brighton has been potent in attack with an average of 2.2 goals scored in their last five games, but their defense remains a concern, having conceded 2.0 goals on average. The team has only managed one clean sheet in their last five outings, suggesting vulnerabilities that Crystal Palace might exploit.

Final Prediction

Crystal Palace's recent form and superior defensive record give them an edge in this encounter. Their ability to maintain clean sheets coupled with consistent goal-scoring could prove pivotal against a Brighton side that has struggled defensively. A key factor will be Crystal Palace's ability to leverage their home advantage and maintain their recent goal-scoring momentum.
