Deciding factors

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

    With 2.6 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (49% for the over).

Fair prices for the pick and the outsider, then three selections from the safest to the boldest.

Team shape

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Crystal Palace

Palace are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession at Selhurst Park, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

Away

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton are well coached, with enough cutting edge to punish errors on the road at Selhurst Park. Their game is built on winning the midfield.

What could change

What would change the King Exchange prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If Palace field a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If Brighton score first

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If a red card arrives in the first hour

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.

The long read
