Match Stats

Brighton approach the weekend on their longest winless run under Fabian Hurzeler, having dropped to seventh after three games without victory. Their struggles against relegation-threatened sides continued last week when they conceded twice late on to draw 2-2 with Leicester, despite Yankuba Minteh’s goal looking to secure the win. Brighton are winless in their last five matches against teams in the bottom four but remain unbeaten at home this season, alongside Arsenal and Brentford.

Defensive issues persist, with Brighton both scoring and conceding in their last seven games. However, they’ve won their last two home meetings with Crystal Palace, including a 4-1 triumph last season, and will look to extend that streak.

Palace, winless in six against Brighton, are in better shape, having climbed four points clear of relegation with a 2-2 draw against Manchester City and a key midweek win over Ipswich. They’ve lost just once in their last eight games and are unbeaten in three away fixtures, aiming for back-to-back Premier League away wins for the first time since 2022-23.
