Before you lock in any Crystal Palace vs. Brighton picks, you HAVE TO see what sports gambling expert John Eimer has to say. 

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don't know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don't focus on obscure leagues, so Jon has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

Eimer knows Brighton (6-9-4) is one of the better defensive teams in the Premier League and has players who can score when they get the chance. The Seagulls have yielded just 20 goals in 19 games, tied for fifth-fewest in the league. Palace has conceded 30, so they could have some opportunities. Neal Maupay (seven goals), Leandro Trossard (four) and Alexis Mac Allister (four) are all capable of unlocking opposing defenses.

The expert also has taken into account that Palace (5-8-7) has not lost in the past five meetings, winning two of them. Both of those victories were at Brighton, and it has scored nine more league goals than the Seagulls. Young players like top scorer Conor Gallagher (six goals, three assists) and Michael Olise (three goals) are taking on a big role for the Eagles. The 20-year-old Olise has scored in consecutive games.
