Brighton vs Crystal Palace Preview

Brighton are going from strength to strength in the new season and Crystal Palace are unconvincing. The Eagles are poor at the back and a high-scoring Brighton win has good value in the Premier League.

Brighton Outplaying Opponents in 2026/27

Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton are third in the Premier League table and have won four of their opening six matches. The Seagulls are on a five-match winning streak in all competitions, scoring 17 and conceding two.

Brighton’s winning streak started with a 5-0 triumph at Coventry and a 3-2 comeback victory at Man United. They had over 2 XG in those wins.

The south coast side continued their excellent run of form with a 3-0 home win against Premier League champions Arsenal. Brighton returned from the international break and beat Sunderland 2-0 away, allowing -1 XG.

The Seagulls maintained momentum and thrashed Kauno Zalgiris 4-0 at home in the Conference League. Hurzeler’s side had 4.02-0.04 XG and Georginio Rutter, Jack Hinshelwood and Matt O'Riley got on the scoresheet.

Crystal Palace Can’t Keep the Goals Out

Crystal Palace have one of the worst defences in the Premier League, conceding 12 goals in six matches. Palace have also shipped 20 goals in 10 fixtures in all competitions.

Pierre Sage’s team are in inconsistent form, failing to win in three of their last five competitive games. The Eagles were winless in two league games, losing 3-2 to Ipswich and drawing 0-0 at Leeds.

Palace hit back after the international break and beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home. The Londoners allowed 3.34 XG and faced 24 shots in that defeat.

Sage’s side continued their patchy recent form with a 3-2 Europa League defeat at Lyon. Palace conceded two first-half goals, allowed 2.05 XG and Yeremy Pino and Daichi Kamada scored after half time.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Bart Verbruggen; Ferdi Kadioglu, Luka Vuskovic, Pascal Struijk, Olivier Boscagli; Pascal Gross, Chema Andres; Diego Gomez, Yasin Ayari, Maxim De Cuyper; Charalampos Kostoulas

Defender Pascal Struijk is available for selection after his one-match suspension was overturned.

Attackers Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson, Stefanos Tzimas and Femi Azeez and defender Mats Wieffer are injured.

Jack Hinshelwood returned to action on Thursday and was subbed off in the second half. The midfielder explained the change was due to fitness and he said, “I came off as planned today, so it was good to get the minutes back in the legs.”

Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Walter Benitez; Jefferson Lerma, Chris Richards, Jaydee Canvot; Anan Khalaili, Adam Wharton, Jurrien Timber, Tyrick Mitchell; Daichi Kamada, Yeremy Pino; Jorgen Strand Larsen

Centre-back Axel Disasi is suspended and defender Chadi Riad is out for the season with a knee problem.

Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, goalkeeper Dean Henderson and defensive pair Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben Chilwell missed the Lyon game. The four players are injury doubts for the Brighton match.

Verdict

Brighton v Crystal Palace

Brighton are a quality side that has hit top form in recent matches. The Seagulls know how to score and can put goals past leaky Crystal Palace in a Premier League home win.
