Featured Game | Crystal Palace vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
Why you should back Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton is unbeaten in its last three matches (1-2-0) at Selhurst Park and has won both of its road games this season. It has been more efficient in front of goal after performing far under its expectations last year. The Seagulls finished more than 20 under their expected points (xPTS) total last season and scored almost 14 fewer than their expected goals (xG). Brighton had the seventh-most shots in the EPL in 2020-21, but put just 27 percent on target, the worst mark in the league.
Brighton completely dominated the last meeting between these teams, but Palace pulled out an unlikely road victory. The Seagulls held the ball for 75 percent of the game and bombarded the Eagles with 25 shots while allowing three. Only two were on target, and both found the net, with the winner scored five minutes into injury time. The Seagulls also dominated the 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park, outshooting Palace 20-1. Brighton has conceded just four goals while scoring seven this season, with Neal Maupay scoring twice and Leandro Trossard adding a goal and an assist.
Why you should back Crystal Palace
The Eagles haven’t allowed a goal at home this season, and while they have scored just five times, they have been finding the net when they are on target. They have the fewest shots in the league, but they have scored on five of the 11 they have put on goal. Christian Benteke, who scored the winning goal in the last meeting, is one of several strong scoring options for Crystal Palace.
They brought in Conor Gallagher on loan from West Brom and signed Odsonne Edouard from Celtic to join Benteke and longtime Eagles forward Wilfried Zaha in the attack. Zaha has 41 goals over the past five seasons and has tallied once this season. Edouard scored twice against Tottenham and Gallagher also has tallied two goals. Benteke has yet to get on the board but scored 10 goals last season. Zaha has scored seven against Brighton in his career, with four in the past four matchups at Selhurst Park.
