Season ticket holders at The American Express Community Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Brighton & Hove Albion languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Crystal Palace will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Brighton & Hove Albion has the most dropped points from leading position (14) in Premier League
- Crystal Palace have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Brighton & Hove Albion have only managed 1 win, 7 draws and 4 losses from their games here at The American Express Community Stadium.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Aston Villa in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. Heartbreak before that as Brighton & Hove Albion lost 0-1 at Leicester City's place.
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 & Hove Albion have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won two times, drawn six and lost five.
Brighton aren't scoring a lot here at The American Express Community Stadium in the league, with only 11 goals from 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Brighton have conceded 15 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Crystal Palace form and stats

Palace have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 245 minutes ago. G. Cahill was the goal scorer.
Crystal Palace might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Burnley proved too strong as Palace slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Selhurst Park. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leeds United wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Palace have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were three victories, two draws and four defeats.
Palace have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Palace have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
