The form book usually goes out of the window in Derby matches like this and the league table will tell you that these teams are evenly matched, sitting 9th and 11th respectively.
The stats show that even though this is a grudge match, it is unlikely to be a card fest, with both teams averaging less than 2 cards per game, so our bet builder will start with a corners pick instead. Both sides average over 5 corners in their last 6 matches, so the over 9.5 corners at 8/11 seems a solid start.
Brighton are exceeding expectations this season but are doing things the hard way. They have been behind at half-time in 4 of their last 6 games but have gone on to lose just 1 of those, so the value play could be Crystal Palace to be leading at the break, which is currently 7/2.
These games are tight affairs, but the Both Teams to Score market is the final part of our Bet Builder that makes some appeal. This bet has landed in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these sides and so that looks to be the logical play at 10/11.
This pays a cool 13/1 and could be the perfect way to start the weekend.
