Prediction: Brighton to Win
Crystal Palace have gone from a stunning start to the season to a dismal current form for a host of reasons, which have essentially dashed their hopes for this campaign. They have not claimed a single win since beating Fulham on December 8, 2025, and whether star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta can feature in this match hinges on whether he needs to undergo surgical treatment.
Brighton are currently ranked close to Crystal Palace in the Premier League table, and this is an unremarkable mid-table clash with plenty of possible outcomes. But it is more likely that Brighton, playing at home, will beat a Crystal Palace side that has completely lost their fighting spirit.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis
Brighton
Finishing eighth in the 2024-25 campaign and narrowly missing out on European football, Fabian Hurzeler and his Brighton side would have been hoping to improve upon last season's performances but have been let down with inconsistent form throughout the season.
After 24 Premier League games, the Seagulls find themselves in 13th with 31 points after recording seven wins, 10 draws and seven defeats. That inconsistency has carried into the New Year, with Brighton managing just one league victory in January, a month dominated by stalemates.In fact, their 10 draws this season are the highest total in the division, highlighting their ongoing struggle to turn competitive performances into victories.Their latest draw was particularly painful, as a 97th-minute equaliser from Everton’s Beto denied Brighton all three points in dramatic fashion, making Sunday's hosts even more desperate to return to winning ways. With that said, should Brighton & Hove Albion earn their eighth win of the campaign, they could move as high as ninth and just about keep their European dream alive as the business end of the season draws closer.
Brighton picked up a fresh concern last weekend, as Yasin Ayari suffered a shoulder injury that will rule him out of this contest.Long-term absentees Solly March, Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas remain sidelined, but Diego Gomez is back in action.Ferdi Kadioglu and Joel Veltman are expected to battle it out for a start at right-back, we expect the latter to get the nod on Sunday. Should James Milner feature, he will equal the record for most Premier League appearances after making his debut 24 years ago.

Crystal Palace
After 24 Premier League games, the Seagulls find themselves in 13th with 31 points after recording seven wins, 10 draws and seven defeats. That inconsistency has carried into the New Year, with Brighton managing just one league victory in January, a month dominated by stalemates.
In fact, their 10 draws this season are the highest total in the division, highlighting their ongoing struggle to turn competitive performances into victories.Their latest draw was particularly painful, as a 97th-minute equaliser from Everton’s Beto denied Brighton all three points in dramatic fashion, making Sunday's hosts even more desperate to return to winning ways. With that said, should Brighton & Hove Albion earn their eighth win of the campaign, they could move as high as ninth and just about keep their European dream alive as the business end of the season draws closer.
As for Crystal Palace, they have also come away from their last clash with no additional injury and fitness concerns, although Glasner may be tempted to change things up with his side in such bad form. Eddie Nketiah was believed to be close to a move away during the transfer window, but that deal was put to a stop after he picked up an injury, the same injury that keeps him out of this fixture. Daichi Kamada and Cheick Doucoure are also expected to miss out through muscle and knee injuries respectively. After picking up a red card in the Chelsea defeat, Adam Wharton has now served his suspension and should come straight back into the starting XI.
