Full analysis

Brighton sit third with 13 points and a +13 goal difference, while Palace are 12th with seven points and -3. Brighton's five successive wins include league victories of 2-0 at Sunderland, 3-0 against Arsenal and 5-0 at Coventry.

Brighton average 2.7 goals scored and 0.3 conceded at home in the league, compared with Palace's away averages of 1.0 scored and 1.3 conceded. Palace provisionally list Henderson, Disasi and Riad among their absences, reinforcing the press's defensive concerns. However, Palace are unbeaten in the last four meetings, and both sides played in Europe three days before this fixture.

Brighton to win at 1.53 implies roughly a 65% chance, and their stronger current results and home performances support a modest edge above that threshold. Confidence is Medium rather than High because the price is above 1.50 and Brighton's provisional attacking absences introduce uncertainty; the strength of their recent league results keeps this above a Low-confidence lean.
