Everton – Crystal Palace, Prediction – Premier League

⏩ Everton are in bad shape again

Everton have 3 consecutive losses and the one against Burnley was extremely disappointing because if they had won this match, the Toffees would have started the round with only 2 points behind Chelsea and with great chances for the top 4, and now this is not the case. Everton can’t stop failing at home against far more unpretentious rivals. In the game with Man City for the FA Cup, the blues had a great match, but in the end, de Bruyne came into play and it was over. City won 2-0.

📑 A victory is likely to completely reassure the eagles of their survival

Palace has 37 points, and 40 points is the absolute guarantee for a team that it will survive in the Premier League. This season will be no exception. Palace alternates strong with weak matches as a guest lately. Hodgson has injury problems in his squad. Kouyate is expected to return to play for this match, but McArthur, Clyne, Sakho, and Tomkins are out. Palace can’t brag with success over Everton lately.

We expect Toffees to have issues at home again

 Expert view: Although Everton are the favorites and have not lost to Palace in 12 consecutive games, these matches are far from easy for the blues. What’s worse for Everton is that they somehow fail to dominate teams that are outsiders. They lost to Newcastle, Fulham, and Burnley at Goodison. We are not convinced of the final outcome of the match, so we will commit to a forecast only for the 1st half, in which we do not expect Everton to create many difficulties for the defense of Palace and therefore the 1st half – Draw or Palace at 1.55.
