At Selhurst Park on 9 November 2025, Crystal Palace host Brighton in a Premier League fixture that brings together two well-matched sides from the upper half of the table, both buoyed by recent wins and eager to extend their good runs.
Selhurst Fortress: Palace Unbeaten Since February
Crystal Palace continue to impress at home, where resilience and intensity have made them one of the league’s toughest sides to beat. Their 3-1 midweek victory over AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League underlined the growing confidence within Oliver Glasner’s squad. In the Premier League, Palace have not lost at Selhurst Park since February, and their latest 2-0 win over Brentford reaffirmed their strong defensive shape combined with efficient finishing. Back on home soil, they’ll look to use their compact structure and pace on transitions to trouble their local rivals.
Brighton’s Travelling Struggles Continue
Brighton also enter this encounter in positive spirits following a convincing 3-0 win at home against Leeds. However, their away form remains patchy. In five league trips this season, they have managed only one victory – a 3-1 success at Chelsea – while defeats to sides like Manchester United (2-4) have exposed their defensive vulnerability. Roberto De Zerbi’s men have yet to keep a clean sheet on the road, and four of those five away matches have seen both teams score, a pattern that could well repeat itself here.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Both teams arrive in confident mood and possess attacking quality capable of exploiting each other’s weaknesses. Palace’s consistency at home and Brighton’s open, attacking approach should make for an engaging contest with chances at both ends. The selection is Both Teams to Score – Yes.
