Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Seagulls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six matches. Their attacking prowess is evident, netting 1.5 goals per game, but their defence has been leaky, conceding 1.67 goals per match. Notably, Brighton have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games, which may be a concern for manager Roberto De Zerbi. Despite this, they've managed some impressive results, including a 2-1 victory over reigning champions Manchester City. Their current 7th position in the league table, with 24 points from 15 games, suggests they are still in contention for European football next season.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have shown resilience in recent weeks, managing to secure four draws in their last six matches, including impressive 2-2 stalemates against Manchester City and Aston Villa. Despite their 17th position in the league, the Eagles have been difficult to beat, with only one loss in this period. Their ability to find the net consistently is evident, scoring in five out of six games, although they've kept just one clean sheet. The team's goal difference of -1 over these matches suggests a competitive balance, with their games averaging a healthy 2.83 total goals. Notably, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these fixtures, providing entertaining encounters for supporters. Palace's recent form indicates a team that's challenging to overcome but struggling to convert draws into wins, which may be crucial for improving their league position.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Seagulls displaying resilience and attacking prowess despite failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches at the Amex Stadium. Their goal-scoring ability has been particularly impressive, netting at least twice in each of these games and contributing to a high-scoring average of 3.83 total goals per match. This attacking output is further emphasised by the fact that 83% of these encounters have seen over 2.5 goals. Notably, Brighton have managed to avoid consecutive defeats at home during this period, showcasing their ability to bounce back. The standout result was undoubtedly their 2-1 victory over Manchester City, while their 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated their capacity to edge out top-six opposition in thrilling encounters.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with the Eagles displaying resilience and improvement in their latest outings. Despite their low league position, Palace have shown signs of recovery, going unbeaten in their last three away matches across all competitions. This includes a notable League Cup victory against Aston Villa, followed by two consecutive Premier League draws, both with a scoreline of 2-2, indicating their ability to compete with higher-ranked teams on the road. The team's goal-scoring record is reasonably consistent, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but they've struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six away fixtures. Interestingly, 67% of these matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that Palace are involved in entertaining, high-scoring encounters more often than not when playing away from home.
