Two teams that are in pretty bad shape will clash against one another on Saturday, when Brighton will host Crystal Palace. Brighton are currently in a tough win-less streak, while Crystal Palace just put an end to their own skid.

Crystal Palace (8-10-9) are coming off a solid performance at home against Newcastle, where they won by a slim 0-1. They really needed that win, as prior to that they were win-less in eight matches in all competitions (0-4-4). Crystal Palace are now sitting at the 13th spot of the league table with 33 points, nine ahead of the red line. They have been mediocre on the road so far (3-5-5), but are without a win in their last six (0-2-4).

Brighton (6-11-10) played a really balanced match on the road against Sheffield United last week, where the two teams eventually split the points in a 1-1 draw. That was their third draw in a row, as Brighton are now win-less in their last eight matches in all competitions (0-3-5). They are sitting at the 15th spot of the league table with 28 points, just four ahead of the relegation zone. Brighton have been quite hard to beat at home (4-3-6), losing just one of their last six PL matches there.

The two teams played for a 1-1 draw in London earlier in the season, while Brighton won both matches last season. There has been balance in this venue between the two (3-3-2) but Brighton have lost just once in the last five here (3-1-1). Brighton are slightly better at home and they should have the upper hand here.
