This Thursday brings Premier League excitement! Tonight you can enjoy the opening match-up of Round 18 between Crystal Palace and Brighton. The hosting team still can’t find the right rhythm in this campaign, currently placed in 15th position with 17 points on their account. Brighton on the other side is the 9th-placed team in the league with 26 points. However, both squads need quick recovery in this duel, because both crews recently missed some opportunities to win points. Therefore, it’s going to be interesting to see who’s going to play better and end up winning the 3 points at Selhurst Park.
