Crystal Palace - Brighton prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 5, 2025
One of the matches of the 31st round of the English Championship will be played on Saturday at Selhurst Park, where the local Crystal Palace will host Brighton. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good chance of winning.
Match preview
The Gunners stumbled in the last round, missing out on a victory in their away match against Southampton (1-1). They managed to avoid defeat only in the last seconds, grabbing a draw in stoppage time. Before that, the Londoners confidently swept past their opponents, securing three consecutive victories in the championship with a total score of 7-1.
Currently, the club occupies the 12th place in the table but still has a chance to cling to the European competition zone. In the last two home games, the Glaziers secured victories, but overall this season Crystal Palace has only achieved 4 wins at home with six losses.
Fabian Hurzeler's charges had to put an end to their impressive five-match unbeaten streak in the EPL (4 wins and 1 draw). In the last round, the team unexpectedly capitulated to Aston Villa at the Amex, conceding three unanswered goals (0-3). This season, only Nottingham Forest has managed to defeat Brighton more heavily (7-0).
This defeat pushed the Seagulls down to the eighth spot, allowing the Birmingham side to overtake them in the table, but the chances for a fight for a Champions League spot remain. However, in the last eight EPL matches, Brighton has lost only once, achieving 3 wins and 4 draws.
Probable lineups
- Crystal Palace: Dean Henderson, Nathaniel Clyne, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz, Jefferson Lerma, Eberechi Eze, Tyrick Mitchell, Ismaila Sarr, Adam Wharton, Jean-Philippe Mateta
- Brighton: Bart Verbruggen, Jack Hinshelwood, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan, Diego Gomez, Yasin Ayari, Brian Gruda, Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra, Joao Pedro Jesus
