• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 15th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Amex Stadium (Brighton)

In recent seasons, Brighton became a stable Premier League team, constantly in the upper half of the league's table. Last year, due to constant injuries, they only finished 11th but are looking a lot better this year. The Seagulls hold 7th place with 24 points and are only one point away from European spots. Still, they underperformed in the last three games, winning just two points, and haven't had a tough schedule. So, it is crucial for them to win all three points in this one.

Crystal Palace are playing their 12th consecutive season in the Premier League where they were mostly a mid-table team. Unfortunately, the Eagles are struggling this season and are close to the relegation zone. Right now, they are in 17th place with 13 points from 15 rounds. Luckily for them, the bottom three teams (Ipswich, Wolves, and Southampton) were atrocious, and they are still four points away from the danger zone.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace pick: Both teams to score

Brighton are among the best teams for this type of bet, with 80% of their games finishing with both teams scoring. And recently, we saw both teams scoring in the last eight matches. Additionally, Brighton scored at least a goal at home against all ten opponents, so we believe they will score in this match as well.

Crystal Palace aren't really playing their best football this season, but they are scoring pretty regularly, especially away from home. On the road, they scored at least one goal in eight out of nine games in all competitions - 89%.

In the previous four h2h games, both teams scored on seven occasions. Considering all the above, both teams to score bet should be the safest option for this Premier League tie.
