Crystal Palace vs Brighton – Preview, and Prediction
Crystal Palace vs Brighton – The Premier League’s first match of Matchday No. 18 takes place at Selhurst Park on Thursday night, with Crystal Palace taking on Brighton at regular time.
Although Palace have lost their last six league games, they will be more optimistic going into this one after a stunning 2-2 draw away at Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
After trailing by two goals at the Etihad, Roy Hodgson’s team put on a valiant performance. Michael Olise’s second goal of the season in stoppage time proved to be their reward.
The return of Eberechi Eze, a vital player, is wonderful news for Hodgson. The captain missed several games owing to injury before his second-half debut four days ago.
Brighton lost 0-2 against Arsenal on Sunday, ending their three-game winning streak in all competitions. The game ended the team’s 32-game Premier League scoring streak.
After losing in North London, the Seagulls fell to ninth in the Premier League. They have lost four of their eight Premier League away games this season, indicating they struggle to travel.
