Everton

WWWLLL 📉

Everton will be hoping to bounce back here following the 0-2 FA Cup losing effort in their last game against Manchester City.

In that game, Everton had 25% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Manchester City had 15 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. İlkay Gündoğan (84') and Kevin De Bruyne (90') scored for Manchester City.

Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Everton have taken part. In terms of the goal split in this period, their opponents scored a total of 6 while The Toffees got themselves 5. Such a trend might not be sustained here, of course.

Heading into this contest, Everton have not been beaten in the league by Crystal Palace in their last 12 games. A decent run, indeed.

Crystal Palace

LWDDLW ⚖

Crystal Palace head into the game following a 1-0 Premier League win in the defeat of West Bromwich Albion in their most recent outing.

In that game, Crystal Palace managed 43% possession and 6 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Crystal Palace was Luka Milivojević (37'). At the other end, West Bromwich Albion got 12 shots at goal with 1 of them on target.

It is worth noting that Crystal Palace have had real problems scoring goals in their past six encounters, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, The Eagles have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 8.

Coming into this meeting, Crystal Palace have left without a victory over Everton when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. Not good.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Everton will probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

Conversely, Crystal Palace will be up against it to get shooting opportunities but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be getting enough chances to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 winning margin for Everton at the end of the 90 minutes.
