Football : English Championships Playoffs
Monday 13th May 2013 – Kickoff time 19:45
First leg drawn 0-0 at Selhurst Park.
Match Preview :
Brighton goes into this match having a full strength squad and will be better prepared compared to Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace are missing key striker and top scorer Glenn Murray it will be difficult for them to get anything out of this match going by their performances towards the end stages of the Championships.
Brighton ended their season in better form compared to Crystal Palace. Brighton managed to win four of their last five games while Crustal Palace only managed one win.
In their last ten matches towards the end season, Brighton also managed seven wins and their other three ended in draws. Crystal Palace meanwhile only managed one win in their last ten games, losing six and drawing the other three.
So if you take into account the recent statistics as well as the fact that Crystal Palace will be missing Murray and Brighton's fantastic home record over their last ten matches especially, I can only see one winner in this match.
When the two sides met over a month ago in the same venue, Brighton won 3-0, and a similar result cannot be discounted here.
Go for Brighton to get the win here and give the 1/2 ball handicap.
Prediction:
Go for Brighton and give the 1/2 ball.
