Brighton & Hove Albion - Crystal Palace predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.70, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Crystal Palace fans are expecting them to triumph at Brighton & Hove Albion this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

The hosts were caught by surprise last week at Luton Town. They went into that match as the favourites, but couldn’t get off the ground and spent most of the match playing from behind. The 4:0 away loss was contrary to almost all Premier League betting predictions out there.

In their previous Premier League match, Crystal Palace secured a narrow win against Sheffield United after a solid performance in the second half. The first half didn’t go as smoothly as top online bookmakers thought it would, but they delivered the 3:2 home win either way.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premier League outings.

These two teams already clashed multiple times this season, and neither managed to come out on top in any of those games. Most bookmakers see Brighton as the favourites, though, so they’ll want to use the extra drive of being the hosts to finally earn a conclusive result.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.73 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
