Brighton enter the weekend currently on their longest winless run under Hurzeler, having now gone three games without victory, seeing them fall to seventh.Being unable to see off teams fighting at the bottom could be very costly
come May, as Hurzeler saw his side throw two points away in the final five minutes away to Leicester City last week.Yankuba Minteh’s goal 10 minutes from time looked as though it had sealed a comfortable three points on the road,
but Jamie Vardy and Bobby Decordova-Reid both netted in the dying stages to salvage a point for the Foxes.After only managing a 1-1
draw with Southampton in their last home outing, it means Brighton have now failed to win any of their previous five games against teams starting the day in the bottom four.
Palace are another club in the bottom four ahead of this one, but at home, Brighton have remained largely consistent, being one of the three teams yet to suffer defeat on their own patch in the Premier League – along with
Arsenal and Brentford.Keeping a clean sheet would go a long way to helping them end that concerning run of results against weaker sides, because despite having plenty of firepower in attack, they have now both scored and
conceded in their last seven games, and since the start of last season, they have done so 37 times in 53 matches.In terms of facing Palace, the Seagulls have won two consecutive home games against the Eagles for the first time since the 1980s, so they should be confident of extending that, especially after winning 4-1 in this fixture last season.
Palace are winless in six against Brighton, but enter the fixture in a much better place than where they were a few weeks ago, moving clear of the bottom three.Those sides in the relegation zone all lost last weekend, while

Palace held champions Manchester City to a 2-2 draw, moving them four points clear of trouble.Manager Oliver Glasner may have some frustrations though, seeing his side take the lead twice, and not capitalise on City playing the
final stages with 10 men.The win away to Ipswich Town last midweek was the most important result though, after also holding Aston Villa and Newcastle United to draws, meaning they have now lost just one of their
last eight games in all competitions.Away form often deserts Palace, but they enter the weekend unbeaten in three away from Selhurst Park, and could win back-to-back games on the road in the Premier League for the first time since the 2022-23 season.
