Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park on Monday evening and it’s a big game for both teams. Despite Everton's dip in form, they have opened up as the 7/10 favourites to win whilst Crystal Palace are a very tempting 21/5 to take three points away this week.
I think both teams will fancy their chances but I have a strong opinion here which we will go on to once we have taken a look at both sides.
Everton started their season in really good form despite their off the pitch issues but in recent week’s the form has just gone and they have just dropped into the relegation zone. I thought that the way they had been playing was going to keep them up this season, but the performances they have put up lately have me fearing the worst for them. Everton are going to need to find some form from somewhere.
Crystal Palace may not be in their best form but they are picking up points and are currently 5 points clear of the relegation zone. A win away from home would be massive for Crystal Palace and if they start the game fast, I think they will cause Everton plenty of problems this week.
Everton dominate the head to heads between these two sides and you have to go back to 2021 to find the last time Crystal Palace beat Everton, but with the way the home team are playing currently, I wouldn’t advise using the head to heads to determine your selections. Everton have low confidence right now and it’s dangerous to back them at odds on in their current form.
I think if you take a look at the stats here Everton probably edge this game on paper, but I think this game will set up nicely for Crystal Palace. Everton have lacked creativity and I think Crystal Palace will be able to use their wide players to cause plenty of problems to the home team this week.
Now that we have looked at both of the teams, I am going to use the outright market to make my betting suggestions this week. I know Everton have all the boxes ticked on paper, but a team with low confidence is always a risk to punt on and I think it could be worth taking them on this week.
I think in this fixture it could be worth taking a chance on Crystal Palace in the outright market at 21/5, I think that’s a big price this week. I know they haven’t been in the best form themselves but they are creating chances and Everton have been very vulnerable in defence and I certainly wouldn’t want to back them at odds on.
I think Everton are going to struggle to stay up now they have fallen down the league table and this week is crucial for them. I just don’t see them taking the 3 points this week and the 21/5 about Crystal Palace taking the win here is plenty of value in my opinion. I will take a chance on the away side here.
