Brighton have played the least games in the Premier League and will be using up one of their two games in hand, at home to Crystal Palace. Going into this game, Brighton have 39 points, in seventh place while Crystal Palace are 12th on 27 points. Brighton are coming from a 2-2 draw with Leeds United in their last game, a result that left a dent on their hopes for European football next season. All is not lost though, Brighton have a three-game unbeaten run coming into this clash and they have two clean sheets in the three matches. They twice led but were pegged back by Leeds United in the last game and two clean sheets in the last five matches will push them to want to defend better. This will be the second meeting between these two sides in just over a month. In the first meeting the two sides drew 1-1 but Brighton have won six of their last 10 matches. At home, Brighton have four wins in their last five matches.

Crystal Palace are going through a really tough period; they haven't won a game in 2023. The London side is really struggling and luck hasn’t also shone their way, case in point, their slim loss to Manchester City. Crystal Palace have lost half of their last 10 matches and while they haven't been conceding a lot of goals, Palace have also not been scoring a lot. They have failed to score in the last three matches and haven't managed more than a goal in a game in the last five matches. Each of their last five matches has produced under 2.5 goals and things aren’t any better away from home. Crystal Palace’s away run has three defeats in four matches and failure to score in two.
