Everton travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, in an even looking contest that the bookies are struggling to call. The two sides have experienced fluctuating results in recent games, but both will be relatively satisfied with how their seasons are progressing.
This is not an easy game to predict, but our sports betting experts have taken the plunge and produced an exclusive tip for the fixture. So read on to find out who they think will take home the three points.
After a dreadful start to the season, Sean Dyche has got his Everton team playing some good football and they have moved clear of any imminent relegation danger. Recent wins over West Ham, Burnley and Bournemouth were all achieved without conceding a goal. If Dyche can continue this impressive defensive form, the Toffees look set for a comfortable season in mid table.
On the face of it, Crystal Palace’s 11th place position looks like another season of mid table obscurity for the Eagles. In reality, Roy Hodgson has done a remarkable job in coping with Palace’s huge injury list. At no point this season has Hodgeon been able to put out anything resembling his strongest eleven. However, the veteran has used all of his experience to cope with the crisis and produce some impressive results.
With the likes of Eberechi Eze returning to fitness, Palace will be confident of kicking on and moving into the top half of the league as the season progresses.
This fixture produced an uninspiring 0-0 draw last season and the recent head-to-head between the sides is equally even. The last six encounters have produced two wins each and two draws, but Everton hold the overall lead by 24 wins to 15.
