Everton vs. Crystal Palace Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Everton vs. Crystal Palace at English Premier League

Where: Goodison Park, Liverpool, England
When: Tuesday, February 20, 04:00 AM

Both the Toffees and the Eagles are in problems, looking rather poor in recent weeks and without any solution on how to turn things in their favor. Everton is in the relegation zone, which is a big surprise knowing how they played before, but the recent slump pushed them all the way down to the 18th spot in the Premiership standings. That, and the FA’s 10-point fine. Palace is slowly going down as well, and right now, they have only five points more than their upcoming rivals. Therefore, a win here would be a blessing for the Eagles.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace Preview

Everton

Only one victory in the past 11 games across all competitions set off the alarm at Goodison. The Toffees are currently riding a four-game streak without a victory, having two ties and losing twice, with the note that their defense allowed two goals in three of these meetings.

Sean Dyche’s unit played against Manchester City last weekend, losing 2-0 at the Etihad. They managed to defend in the opening 45 minutes, yet once Kevin De Bryne entered, things changed for the worse for Everton.

The Toffees aren’t particularly confident at home, having only three wins in 12 appearances, with 13 goals scored and 14 allowed. Besides this, we’ve seen three draws and six losses of Dyche’s boys at the Etihad.

Crystal Palace

Palace had a lead against Chelsea at halftime, but as soon as the second 45 minutes kicked off, the team from Selhurst froze, and the Blues netted three times. This was their fourth loss in the past five events, with the defense being extremely fragile during this stretch.

Prior to Monday’s defeat, the Eagles were beaten at the Amex Stadium, 4-1; they defeated Sheffield United, 3-2 at home, and were crushed at the Emirates at the hands of Arsenal, 5-0. It was one of the most painful experiences of the campaign for Hodgson’s crew.

In a dozen matches away from the Selhurst, Palace won three, had three ties and lost six, scoring 12 goals and conceding twice as many.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace Predictions

The Toffees are defensive-minded, but even that isn’t doing well for them. Still, Palace is in obvious crisis, with the defense frequently falling apart, and that’s the only reason why we pick the hosts to win here.
