Comments and predictions for Brighton vs Crystal Palace: Balanced match

Latest Brighton vs Crystal Palace team information

Danny Welbeck could replace Evan Ferguson after missing the Fulham game through injury and playing just 20 minutes against Leicester.

Coach Fabian Hurzeler predicts the playing rate of injured players: Joel Veltman 50%, Ferdi Kadioglu 20%, Jack Hinshelwood 40%, James Milner 10%, showing a high possibility of not playing.

Crystal Palace could welcome new signing Chadi Riad back after three months out with a knee injury and play for the U21s.

Joel Ward has a calf injury and could be out, along with Matheus Franca, who won't be back until 2025. Adam Wharton has a chance to play but the odds are slim.

After an impressive performance against Man City, coach Oliver Glasner can keep the same squad, unless there is an unexpected injury.

Latest football commentary Brighton vs Crystal Palace

Brighton are on their longest winless run of three games under Fabian Hurzeler, dropping to seventh. Failure to beat teams lower down the table, such as last week's draw with Leicester, could have an impact on their May targets. Yankuba Minteh scored to give Brighton a chance to win, but late goals from Jamie Vardy and Bobby Decordova-Reid secured a point for Leicester.

The 1-1 draw with Southampton marked a run of five games without a win against bottom-placed teams. Crystal Palace, the opponents this time, are also bottom of the table, but Brighton have maintained their consistent form at home, remaining unbeaten in the Premier League this season, along with Arsenal and Brentford.

A clean sheet would help Brighton end a run of poor results against weaker teams. Despite their attacking prowess, Brighton have conceded in each of their last seven games, scoring 37 goals and conceding 53 since the start of last season.

Brighton have beaten Crystal Palace twice in a row at home for the first time since the 1980s, and they will be confident of keeping that streak going, especially after last season's 4-1 win.

Crystal Palace have not beaten Brighton in their last six meetings, but they go into the game in good spirits, having moved out of the bottom three after a 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Manager Oliver Glasner was left disappointed after his team took the lead twice but failed to capitalise on the advantage of Man City being down to 10 men.

The win over Ipswich Town was a crucial result, leaving Palace with just one loss in their last eight games. Despite their struggles away from home, Palace are unbeaten in three away games and a win here would see them win back-to-back Premier League away games for the first time since the 2022-23 season.
