Immediate Response Expected from the Hosts

Brighton & Hove Albion endured a disastrous day at the office on Tuesday evening as they went down to a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Luton Town. The Seagulls were 2-0 down within 3 minutes and never recovered. Roberto De Zerbi’s team have slipped to ninth in the Premier League with just two points from their past three matches.

Saturday’s opponents, Crystal Palace are five positions and eight points adrift of Brighton but have won two of their past three league games. The Eagles defeated Sheffield United 3-2 at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace: head-to-head

An early Solly March strike helped Brighton to a 1-0 win in this corresponding fixture last season and the Seagulls are now unbeaten in five matches against their rivals. The reverse fixture at Selhurst Park was played in December with the two clubs playing out a 1-1 draw, Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for Crystal Palace before Danny Welbeck netted a late equaliser.

Betting Tips

As will discussed in Saturday’s daily betting preview, six of the past nine matches played between these rivals have ended with the same 1-1 scoreline. That has to be considered again in the correct score market. Betfred are offering 7/1 for a 1-1 final score.

Michael Olise made an immediate impact on his return from injury for Crystal Palace. Olise missed the 5-0 defeat at Arsenal but he was back in the Palace team on Tuesday to net one goal and two assists. We’re backing Olise to score again on Saturday and whilst the 18/5 on offer for him to score at any time looks generous, with very few goals expected, there’s arguably better value in backing him to score first at a price of 11/1.
