Team set-up
How will the two teams line up?
Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Crystal Palace
Expect Palace to sit compact at Selhurst Park and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.
Away
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results on their trip to Selhurst Park by winning the midfield.
Risk radar
What could change the prediction?
The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.
If Palace name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Brighton score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
Preview
Palace vs Brighton match preview
Crystal Palace host Brighton & Hove Albion in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Palace. The expected-goals gap (1.46 for Palace, 1.26 for Brighton) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 42% for Palace comes from. Brighton's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
