Intro

Brighton host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon at the Amex Stadium as the Seagulls look to swoop into the top six, while Crystal Palace are hovering above the drop.

Brighton head into this derby winless in their last three matches, dropping points against relegation candidates Southampton and Leicester, alongside a 3-1 defeat against Fulham in the capital. It has been the story of their season so far, and although the Seagulls are poised in 7th before the weekend, a lack of consistency has stopped them from breaking into the top four.

If they can start to hold on to leads, they have a great opportunity to return to Europe. But if they don't this could cost them when May comes round.

Crystal Palace will be pleased with their performances in recent weeks, having held Aston Villa, Newcastle and Man City - as well as securing an important 1-0 win over Ipswich.

They aren't out of the woods quite yet, but their recent form is a step in the right direction, and another win could start to open up a sizable gap between themselves and the bottom three. If they could do that on the road against their rivals, that would be quite something.

Brighton on top in the form book

This fixture last campaign saw Brighton run out comfortable 4-1 winners - leading 3-0 at the break. They also won the previous Premier League fixture at the Amex, although the scoreline was much more respectable at 1-0.

Still, Brighton are unbeaten against Crystal Palace in their last six head-to-head meetings, after Palace had won back-to-back games in their rivals back yard in 2020 and 2021. With slightly contrasting form at present, it might be the Eagles best chance to break that unwanted record on Sunday.

Brighton's injury list continues to grow, and they will be without no less than six players for this match. Long term injuries including James Milner and Adam Webster are yet to have a date, while Jack Hinshelwood and Joel Veltman are also still a while away from returning to the pitch.

Our Betting Tip for Today

Both Brighton and Crystal Palace need points but for different reasons as we approach the halfway stage in the Premier League season. Can anyone edge it and claim the bragging rights? It looks a tough one to call.

Although Brighton head into this fixture winless in their last three, they've managed to score in of their matches bar one this season (0-0 with Ipswich). Scoring hasn't been an issue - but keeping the ball out of the net due to a lack of concentration has been.

Brighton were 2-0 up against Leicester last time out with just five minutes left on the clock, yet they managed to concede two late on. It's happened against Southampton, and it also happened against Wolves. There's work to do defensively.

And that's why Palace's heads shouldn't drop if they fall behind. The Eagles have turned a corner in recent weeks and head to the south coast full of confidence, hoping to extend their unbeaten record to five. They've scored six in those four matches, with five different goalscorers, which bodes well for our bet.

Daniel Munoz has scored two of those, and the attacking full-back will be looking to get forward at any given opportunity to support those in the final third. The Colombian can once again prove to be a goal threat on Sunday afternoon.

With bet365's bet builder, I'm advising both teams to score yes and Daniel Munoz over 0.5 shots at 6/4. Good luck to those that follow.
