We make Brighton a 53% chance to win. The market has them at 64%. We are 11 points less confident than the market. The model expects 1.8–1.1.
What the number rests on
Our modelBuilt from every result and the chances each side creates and concedes, recent matches counting most, with home advantage in it. Line-ups, injuries and rest are not in the number.
Our number has not moved since we published. The market has gone from 60% to 64% in the same time.
| Market | Us | Market | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brighton win | 53% | 64% | −11 |
| Draw | 24% | 20% | +4 |
| Crystal Palace win | 23% | 16% | +7 |
| Over 2.5 goals | 55% | 60% | −5 |
| Both teams to score | 56% | 56% | 0 |
| Over 1.5 goals | 79% | 81% | −2 |
| Over 3.5 goals | 33% | 39% | −6 |

| Crystal Palace clean sheet | 17% | – | – |
Every figure here is read off one scoreline distribution, so no two can contradict each other. The market is the median of 6 bookmakers, each with its margin stripped — what we are measured against, never an input to the model.
This is a probability, not a recommendation. We take no bets and hold no affiliate relationships with any gambling operator. Model 1.2 — Pitchside Lab's own model.
