Brighton & Hove Albion FC at Crystal Palace FC 10/18/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Two teams that are coming off back to back losses will look for a way out on Sunday, when Crystal Palace will host Brighton. Neither team had an easy schedule lately and they will both look for a win in order to put a stop to their bad beats.

Crystal Palace (2-2-0) started the season with a couple of wins but they have now lost back to back matches. In their last match they were terrible in the 0-4 away loss against Chelsea, while prior to that they fell by 2-1 at home against Everton. Crystal Palace are now sitting at the 12th spot of the league table with 6 points, scoring five and conceding seven goals so far. At home they beat Southampton by 0-1 before falling by 2-1 against Everton.

Brighton (1-3-0) have been playing really attacking soccer this season, but this has cost them defensively. While they do score goals, they simply fail to safeguard their defense and have three losses in four matches. They have only kept a single clean sheet so far, and have conceded three or more goals in the other three matches. Brighton are sitting at the 15th spot of the league table with 3 points, scoring eight and conceding ten goals in the process.

The two teams played for a 1-1 draw in this venue last season, before Crystal Palace won by 1-0 on the road. Five of the last six matches between the two featured goals from both sides, and I expect something similar on Sunday.
