Everton-Crystal Palace betting preview
Crystal Palace have the most challenging schedule towards the end of the season. The team sprung a surprise by beating Chelsea 1-0 a couple of weeks back. And they are due to play the other title contenders, Liverpool and Manchester City, in a month’s time. They surely have a role to play in the ongoing EPL title race.
But before that, they are playing another high-flying team of the season tomorrow: Everton, who must win this match to keep their Champions League ambitions intact. Can Palace play spoilsport?
Everton are on a roll now – winning seven matches in a row. They are just two points ahead of Arsenal. The Gunners have some relatively easy games in hand, while Everton have some tough matches coming up, such as the ones against Manchester United and Manchester City. They should get maximum points from the home games against supposedly weaker teams, irrespective of their opponent’s giant-killing credentials.
The win against Chelsea appeared to have brought good-luck charm for Palace. The team has won the next two matches, against Cardiff and Aston Villa, comfortably. With three wins on the go – all clean sheets – Crystal Palace looks a confident team.
Everton have a good recent H2H record against Palace. Still, the Merseysiders will have to be at their best to get the better of the visitors.
Leon Osman will be a doubtful starter for Everton. But with Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas in good touch, they will not worry too much about it.
Jason Puncheon is fast emerging as a dependable goal-scorer for Palace. His form will be crucial in the continuation of the team’s fairytale run.
Everton-Crystal Palace Prediction
Everton are the form team, and they have the home advantage. In spite of their spirited performances in recent times, Palace is likely to come second best in the match.
