The Christmas weekend starts early this week with tonight’s clash between Crystal Palace and Brighton at Selhurst Park.
Palace might have unsettled Manchester City again at the weekend but the 2-2 draw made it six without a win for Roy Hodgson’s side who have slipped to 15th in the table.
Hodgson might count himself unlucky not to have picked up more points in that spell since three losing goals were conceded in the 83rd minute or later.
Brighton continue to baffle punters. Their 2-0 defeat at the Emirates was to be expected but their last 12 league fixtures read LDWLWDDDLDLW – a model of inconsistency.
On their day they’re capable of going toe-to-toe with anyone but can they really be relied on at 5/4? Well, their away record sees them with 3 wins, one draw and four defeats but three of those losses have come against top four sides – the other at Stamford Bridge. That would suggest they fare pretty well at teams in the lower reaches of the league.
On the goals front, Albion can’t keep a clean sheet. It’s now 21 league games since the last kept out the opposition. That would point us to BTTS this evening which is 3/4.
If you’re looking for a correct score bet then you could probably do worse that 1-1. The last four league meetings between the sides have finished on that scoreline which pays 6/1.
