The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 04-14-2018, ended with Crystal Palace‘s victory by (3-2). Particular attention is required for the home / away condition, since both teams present significantly different results at home and abroad.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
After 5 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, the home team is currently in the 11 th position of the league, with 18 points won. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Huddersfield Town by (1-2), after in the previous match they have tied (1-1) at home, against Leicester City. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 6 home league matches Brighton & Hove Albion has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 11 points out of 18 possible. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 8 times and only managed 1 comeback. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have suffered 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘) and 3 of their 8 goals between (31′-45’).
The Brighton & Hove Albion is a club that has been runner-up in the Championship twice, in addition to having two titles of the League 1 (third national division) and a title of the League 2 (fourth national division). In the current season, the team has been doing an irregular campaign in the national championship, since it has won 18 of the 42 points played until now, thus being in the intermediate part of the table, far from the first and the last classified. In the last five games that Brighton & Hove Albion played in their stadium, in four of them we had one or more goals scored in the second half. We believe that in this match the boss will remain, as Brighton & Hove Albion usually score more goals in the second half.

We believe that in this match the boss will remain and the Crystal Palace will make another game in which goals will be scored in the second half.
