Crystal Palace vs Brighton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-08 14:00.
[p]While they may be separated by around 40 miles, Crystal Palace and Brighton have developed a rivalry that sets the perfect backdrop for a Premier League clash between sides looking to climb the table.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After going winless in the league through October (D1, L2), Palace have rediscovered their form by beating Brentford 2-0 last Saturday and seeing off AZ Alkmaar 3-1 in the Conference League on Thursday. Despite that poor run last month, the Eagles boast their highest points tally (16) at this stage of a top-flight season since 1991/92 (W4, D4, L2). They’re looking to make up ground to the European places and can take great encouragement from possessing the longest active unbeaten home run in the Premier League (W6, D5), with their only competitive loss at Selhurst Park since mid-February coming in Europe against AEK Larnaca (W10, D5).[/p]
[p]Brighton sit one point behind Palace, and without the distraction of a European campaign this term, have lost just one of their last six league games (W3, D2), comfortably beating Leeds 3-0 last Saturday. Such a run should see the Seagulls travel to south London full of confidence as they bid to win a third straight league away game in London, something they haven’t achieved since 2022. Winning just one of their top-flight road fixtures this season (D1, L3) suggests that will be a tall order, and with that sole victory coming against a ten-man Chelsea, hitting the road is a problem Brighton need to sort out if they’re to make a meaningful challenge for the European spots.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The all-time H2H record stands level at 51 wins apiece from (D41), but Palace are unbeaten across the last six home H2Hs (W1, D5) while all eight Premier League meetings at Selhurst Park saw both teams score. [/p]
