Betting odds & tips
Brighton is favourite to beat Crystal Palace at Evens (2.0) with bet365. At 3/1 (4.0) to win, Palace are considered the outsiders.
Neal Maupay is 15/4 (4.75) favourite to be first goalscorer against a team he has fired past in two of his five previous appearances, while Odsonne Edouard is rated 15/2 (8.50) to break the deadlock for Palace.
Considering there have been goals at both ends in eight of the last nine meetings between this duo, odds of 19/20 (1.95) look like decent value on Brighton and Palace both getting on target in this clash.
