Crystal Palace and Brighton might have scored two or three goals each on most days, but the Eagles and Seagulls wound up in a scoreless stalemate at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
WATCH — Crystal Palace v Brighton full match replay
That makes back-to-back clean sheets for Brighton, who had conceded a goal in every one of their first nine Premier League games before blanking newly promoted Leeds last week. Doing it against Crystal Palace, one of the PL’s most aggressive attacking sides, is a further feather in Fabian Hurzler’s cap.
The draw means both sides slip one place from where they began the weekend — Palace (17 points) down to 10th, Brighton (16 points) to 11th.

The 40-mile distance between the sides makes this no real geographic derby but the 1970s saw the two historic clubs vying for promotion in England’s third-tier division. Things got heated. Now both Oliver Glasner’s Eagles and Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls are bonafide European contenders, with the former coming off a Thursday win in the UEFA Conference League and hoping to keep the latter beneath them on the Premier League table.
Brighton are up to 10th on the table but are still seeking their first consecutive wins of the league campaign, on the precipice again following a decisive home win over Leeds in Week 10. Palace are one spot and one point higher than their rivals, hopeful that a Week 10 win of their own is a sign that a prior three-match winless skid is an aberration.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton prediction
This should be tight and tense, as the Seagulls may finally be finding their finishing form but are running into a Palace side which has more often than proven difficult to break down. A draw may be the safest estimate but Palace have Jean-Philippe Mateta and he has four goals in his last two home starts. So, goals for sure? Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton.
