Match preview

Our model makes Brighton clear favourites, giving them a 81% chance of winning against 12% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 1.24 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.8 goals in total (3.01 for Brighton, 0.82 for Crystal Palace), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Brighton sit 3rd on 19 points; Crystal Palace are 18th on 7.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
