Brighton preview: Stuttering Seagulls

The pressure is on manager Fabian Hurzeler with Brighton and Hove Albion supporters quite irritate with how often and frustrating Brighton and profligate, with too many points given up due to a bit of caution and a desire for too much control in possession.

The Seagulls best showed that last weekend as they shared a 1-1 draw with Everton at the AMEX Stadium in a game in which they largely dominated before conceding a second-half stoppage-time equaliser scored by Beto.

Crystal Palace preview: Crisis Palace

Oliver Glasner has seemingly decided that the last few months of his Crystal Palace reign will tar everything that he has previously achieved with the Eagles now drifting towards the bottom three and the relegation places in the Premier League.

The south Londoners come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground last weekend, extending their winless run of form to 12 matches across all competitions.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace prediction

Of the last nine matches between Brighton and Palace, five of them have been draws with two wins apiece. They have basically been pretty much neck and neck since the pair became stalwarts in the Premier League. It is expected to be yet another even contest between two teams lacking confidence and fluency, with a low-scoring encounter seeming almost inevitable, too.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace tip: Under 2.5 goals
