In my opinion Brighton is clear favorite of this match and they should be able to win today's match.

First match between both teams at Selhurst Park finished with draw 1:1, but that wasn't deserved result at all - Crystal Palace had only 1 shot in that match, Brighton had 20! I expect similar scenario today, I see Brighton as a team in much better form currently.

Crystal Palace comes to Brighton without their the biggest star and without any shadow of doubt best player Wilfred Zaha. Without him Crystal Palace lost 18 of last 20 Premier League matches, 16 times they failed to score.

Both teams at the moment are in completely different type of form. Brighton is really hot now - they lost only 1 of last 8 matches. They were able to win against Liverpool on away or Tottenham at home. Their defensive formation at the moment is super solid. New goalkeeper Sanchez looks great - he kept clean sheet 6 times in 13 matches so far. Only leader of the table Manchester City conceded less goals than Brighton in 2021. In last round Brighton had a draw 0:0 at home against dangerous Aston Villa, but they deserved for more, Brighton played on really high level:expected goals scored for Brighton 2.44, for Aston Villa 0.14.

Crystal Palace lost 7 of last 9 matches played at Monday in Premier League. They looked very poor in last two matches (0:2 on away against Leeds, 0:3 at home against Burnley). I expect huge troubles for them against Brighton. I don't see big motivation in Crystal Palace players eyes at the moment. Guests have problems with goals in away matches - they failed to score in 7 of 12 away Premier League matches so far. Without Zaha problem should be even bigger, especially against Brighton defense in current shape. Brighton didn't conceded single goal in last 3 home matches in a row.

I see comfortable home win, probably to nil.

我认为布莱顿显然是这场比赛的热门，他们应该能够赢得今天的比赛。

两人在塞尔赫斯特公园的第一场比赛以1：1平局结束，但不是正常的结果-水晶宫在那场比赛中只有1次射门，布莱顿有20次！我认为今天出现类似的情况，布莱顿是表现更好的球队。

水晶宫本场缺少绝对核心扎哈（Wilfred Zaha）。没有他，水晶宫在最近的20场英超联赛比赛中输了18场，有16次未能进球。

目前，两支球队的状态完全不同。布莱顿现在的状态非常火热-他们在最近8场比赛中只输了1场。他们能够在客场战胜利物浦，主场战胜热刺。目前他们的防守阵型非常稳固。新的门将桑切斯看上去很棒-迄今为止，他在13场比赛中保持了6次零封。只有领头羊曼城的失球比布莱顿少。在上一轮布莱顿主场0：0面对的阿斯顿维拉时，他们应该去的更好的成绩，布莱顿打出了很高的水平：布莱顿的预期进球2.44，维拉只有0.14。

水晶宫在周一的英超联赛中近9场比赛输了7场。他们在最近的两场比赛看上去都很糟糕（0：2对阵利兹，0：3对阵伯恩利）。我认为他们对阵布莱顿会遇到很多麻烦。目前，我在水晶宫的球员眼中看不到动力。他们在客场比赛中进球有问题-到目前为止，他们在英超联赛的12个客场比赛中有7场未能进球。没有扎哈的问题应该更大，尤其是在当前状态下对抗布莱顿的防守。布莱顿连续三个主场比赛都没有失球。

我看好布莱顿主场取胜。
