Brighton & Hove Albion will host Crystal Palace at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, with both sides eager to return to winning ways.

Brighton & Hove Albion are without a win in their last four Premier League matches ahead of the game vs Crystal Palace this weekend. They have picked up just one win from their last six Premier League outings, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. They are 13th in the league table, and they will look to get their season back on track with a positive result.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace could be dragged into the relegation zone if they continue to drop points. They are in disappointing form right now, having gone without a win in their last six Premier League matches. They have dropped to 15th in the league table. It remains to be seen whether they can bounce back strongly.

They have a quality team, and they should be doing a lot better. It remains to be seen whether they can produce a strong performance here.

Player to watch out for

Danny Welbeck

The Brighton striker has done quite well this season, and he could cause all sorts of problems for Crystal Palace. The Eagles have been quite poor defensively, and he will look to help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net. Brighton will need him to step up and deliver a strong performance in the final third if they want to pick up all three points.

Prediction

Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Crystal Palace

Both teams will be desperate for a win, and the contest is likely to be close. Neither team is particularly good defensively, and they will look to outscore each other. There will be plenty of chances on offer here, and both teams are likely to get on the score sheet. However, Crystal Palace are completely devoid of form and confidence right now. They have lost key players, and they are struggling. Brighton should be able to pick up a narrow win here.
