TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Crystal Palace moved onto to two games without a win after a fine 15 match unbeaten streak. Midweek they faced a difficult away tie at Hull. It ended 0-0 and neither side really took the fight and a draw was a fair result. Palace are looking slightly jaded and coach Holloway has bemoaned the fixture list which saw his side criss crossing the country over the last week. Palace have a fine first eleven but have little depth to the squad and the incoming players are not top level. Glen Murray is back after suspension and he was missed in midweek. Darcy Blake is back after illness and Andre Moritz has a 50/50 chance of making it.
Brighton are back on the right track after a horrible run of form in October. With seven games unbeaten they are starting to climb back up the table. Last match they took on Bristol City and took all three points in a fairly even game. Brighton have started scoring now which will come as a welcome relief to Gus Poyet. The side seems to be only missing the finishing touches and with Will Buckley and Craig Mackail-Smith finding the net things are looking up. Wayne Bridge is set to return, right-back Bruno is also expected to play and Adam El-Abd is fit too so things looking rosey for Brighton.

CRYSTAL PALACE - BRIGHTON: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Crystal Palace 2.38 (BetVictor)is the selection in this game. Although this is a very close match I was slightly surprised to find Palace at such a big price. Brighton are on the upward curve its true but they still find themselves behind Palace in the league and in the Ante Post prices so its a big price for sure. Palace have had a mini blip but still have only 1 loss in 16 matches. A low scoring win for the home side for me in this game.

CRYSTAL PALACE - BRIGHTON :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Crystal Palace at 0 is the selection here 1.60 (Betsson) The match of the weekend in what promises to be fine game of football. Both sides will pass the ball around but for me I can see very little goal action. Too much at stake here and both sides will afford the other maximum respect. I have a slight worry over the draw so take Palace on the Draw No Bet market at 1.60 and stake returns if it does pan out to be a draw.

CRYSTAL PALACE - BRIGHTON:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 2.00 (Unibet) is the bet here. In a very close game between two top sides I anticipate a very low scoring affair. Brighton have the best defence in the league and with two key men back they will keep it tight as usual. Palace have a much improved back line and although they did regularly concede early on they are much more solid now. The overall average for both sides is 2.71 goals per game. Of the last 10 games there has been 4 games Under 2.50 goals. Total goals in that time has been 28 goals at an average of 2.80 goals.
