Crystal Palace vs Brighton Match Preview

Crystal Palace hosts Brighton for the sixth round of the English Premier League. The game is played at Selhurst Park which is the home ground for Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is at the bottom half of the table at 14th position, having collected five points from five games played. They won once, drawn twice and lost twice. Crystal Palace's one of the best player last season Eze will not play in this game as he has achilles tendon injury and the same problem for N.Ferguson.

From the five league games played by Crystal Palace, four have ended in over 2.5 goals, the last three of these have ended in over 2.5 goals. 

Brighton have done very well as they are in the sixth position, having collected 12 points in total. They have won four games and lost once, the one against Everton.  Brighton will be missing Webster through thigh injury, while Mwepu and defensive midfielder Bissouma are questionable.

Bissouma is the key midfielder for Brighton as he offers big protection to their defence. If he doesn't play, Crystal Palace could create many chances. 

The last head to head meeting between these sides ended up in over 2.5 goals, actually, Crystal Palace won the game by two goals to one. I therefore predict over 2.5 goals at full time. Odds look very good as they are above 2.30 right now.
