Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace approaches the 18th round in the 15th position in the league table. It seems that this season the team will once again be unable to join the race for European competitions, as they are not showing consistent and steady play. In the last round, the “Glassmen” secured a draw away against “Manchester City” (2:2). However, Roy Hodgson’s wards have been unable to secure a victory in the Premier League for six consecutive matches. In the infirmary of “Crystal Palace,” midfielders Jefferson Lerma, Jesuran Rak-Sakyi, Cheikhou Kouyat?, forward Odsonne Edouard, and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone are currently sidelined.

Brighton & Hove Albion
After 17 rounds, “Brighton” has accumulated 26 points, placing them in the ninth position in the table. The “Seagulls” have lacked stability in recent rounds, with two victories, two losses, and one draw in the last five games. In the previous round, Roberto De Zerbi’s team failed to resist “Arsenal” in an away match (0:2). Due to injuries, Brighton will be without forwards Solly March, Julio Ensiso, and Ansu Fati, as well as defenders Pervis Estupi??n and Tarik Lamptey in today’s match.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
For six consecutive rounds, Crystal Palace has been unable to secure a victory, although they are not displaying overtly unsuccessful play. Brighton is also currently not in peak form, winning only one of their last five away matches in the Premier League. The head-to-head encounters often unfold in a closely contested battle, and it's not coincidental that in three of the last five previous meetings, the teams ended in a draw. We believe that bookmakers may be slightly underestimating the hosts in the upcoming encounter. Our prediction Crystal Palace will not lose at odds of 1.70. In the last four head-to-head clashes, there were no more than two goals scored. Currently, both Crystal Palace and Brighton are experiencing difficulties in attack, so expecting a flurry of goals is unlikely. Second bet Total under 2.5 goals at 1.90.
