- Brighton & Hove Albion have the most matches under the total-line (11) in Premier League

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
Brighton & Hove Albion have played 9 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for Brighton, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating West Bromwich Albion (after extra-time) away with the result 2-1. Maupay and Moder found the net in that victory. Midfielder Moder was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.45 (out of ten) in that game. Moder scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Everton and winning 3-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brighton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won two times, drawn six and lost three.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Chelsea are coming to town in four days.
Brighton aren't scoring a lot here at The American Express Community Stadium in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. 9 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Crystal Palace form and stats
There's been little loot from Crystal Palace's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Premier League. Crystal Palace only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Palace's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two travels in a row for Palace, whose manager Vieira could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Millwall. The attacker Olise got a match rating of 8.6 in that game. Olise scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus West Ham United.Crystal Palace are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and five defeats. From a total of ten matches.
Crystal Palace have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
