Andrea Orlandi: 'Brighton & Hove Albion must be calm against Crystal Palace'

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Andrea Orlandi claims that Crystal Palace will want "chaos" in their Championship playoff semi-final.

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Andrea Orlandi has claimed that Crystal Palace will want "chaos" when the two sides meet in their Championship playoff semi-final.

The Seagulls travel to Selhurst Park for the first leg of the two-legged tie against their fierce rivals on Friday.

Orlandi has said that Brighton have to keep their composure when they face the Eagles.

"We have to keep it as simple as we can and play our normal game because we know Palace do well when there is chaos," Orlandi told BBC Sussex.

"They have some exciting forwards that thrive off that. We've defended really well lately, we need to stay sensible and remember it's a 180-minute game.

"It's important to have a good chance for the return leg. We won't be going there for a draw, we want to win, but we are prepared for a tough game."

The winner of the tie will face either Watford or Leicester City in the final.
