Brighton vs Crystal Palace

Brighton enter this fixture in strong form, having recorded five wins and a draw across their recent outings. Their home record is particularly impressive, with four wins and one draw in their last five home matches, and they have conceded only one goal in that span. Conversely, Crystal Palace have experienced a mixed run, winning twice and losing three times in their recent six matches. Their away form has been challenging, with no win recorded on the road since the September match against Fulham. While Brighton have shown high attacking output, scoring eighteen goals in their recent matches, Crystal Palace have found it harder to maintain results away from home, losing their most recent away contest in Europe.

The historical meetings between these two sides weigh in favour of Crystal Palace, who have won three of the four listed encounters. Brighton have yet to secure a victory in this series, with the only draw coming in the November 2025 meeting.

• A. Disasi for Crystal Palace is reported suspended for this match.
• Brighton have kept four clean sheets in their last five home matches.
• Crystal Palace have not won an away match since their victory against Fulham in September.
• Brighton have recorded fifteen saves from goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen in the matches listed.
• Crystal Palace are managing a total of six absent or doubtful players for this fixture.

Brighton arrive at this match with significant momentum and a dominant home record that stands in sharp contrast to their visitors' recent away troubles. With a solid defensive setup at home and a high-scoring attack, the hosts appear well-positioned to challenge a Crystal Palace side that has struggled for results on the road. The historical advantage for the visitors does little to offset the current form gap, and Brighton will look to capitalise on their superior league standing and consistency.

While we have information on squads and recent form, we have no record of the current manager for Brighton.
