For the 22nd game of the English Premier League, Brighton welcomes Crystal Pallas.
A big victory for Brighton in its first match for the new year in the championship, prevailed over Everton away from home with 3-2. It was impressive in the first half as until the 21st minute it scored two goals while it had opportunities for a third goal, however it was lucky when the hosts in the 25th minute missed from 11 steps. In the second half he accepted the reduction of the score to 53΄ and then the hosts pressed but in 71΄ he again took a two-goal lead. Despite the rapid reduction of his score again by Benitez's team, he was able to keep his lead until the end and get the three points.
With this victory, Brighton reached 27 points and has stabilized in the middle of the standings and specifically in 9th place.
Last Saturday, Brighton took another victory, this time for the cup, prevailing in the overtime of West Brom with 2-1 and got the qualification for the next phase of the tournament.
It comes from defeat the Crystal Pallas as well as the first day of the year was defeated in the London derby by West Ham 3-2. In the first half she had the moments to score but was misplaced and unlucky, unlike her opponent who was highly effective and so found herself at the end of the half to lose 3-0! In the replay he woke up only in the last ten minutes, with two goals in 83΄ and 90΄ he reduced while in the last minute of the delays he lost a great opportunity for a draw!
So is the Palace remained at 23 points and after 20 games is in 12th place in the Premier League, at a safe distance from the last three.
A week later, they defeated Millwall, albeit with a difficult 2-1, and qualified for the next phase of the English Cup.
A local derby with great rivalry, also known as the M23 derby, the highway that connects south London with Sussex. Both teams try to play nice and aggressive football, they score with ease but with even greater ease their home is violated. I expect something similar in the match between them!
Proposal: Brighton - Crystal Palace GG with odds of 1.90
PS: The rivalry between the two teams can easily lead the players to harsh markings, so it is worth the risk to bet that the match will have a red card.
