Everton vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips: Everton to Win

Despite the Premier League deducting a significant 10 points from their total due to financial rule breaches, the Merseysiders remained undeterred. They resiliently rebounded with a remarkable four-match victory streak. They kept clean sheets in each match and defeated Nottingham, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Burnley in the process.

Everton’s performance has significantly deteriorated since mid-December, experiencing seven consecutive top-tier matches without a win, gaining only three points during this period. This has led to their fall into the bottom three, although they are just one point away from safety.

Currently at risk, the Toffees are hoping for a quick escape from the danger zone. Their confidence is bolstered by their recent draws against two top-four contenders, Aston Villa (0-0) and Tottenham (2-2). Additionally, they have a strong home record against their rivals on Monday, having defeated them in all but one of their last seven head-to-head matches at Goodison Park.

Crystal Palace, who has battled numerous challenges both on and off the field lately and has often faced Everton this season, may take a trip to the blue side of Liverpool under new management. Oliver Glasner is likely to take over from Roy Hodgson, particularly after the 76-year-old fell ill during training earlier this week.

Whoever takes charge of the team on Monday night will have the challenging task of putting an end to the series of disappointing results from Palace and reviving the spirits of disheartened fans. This is particularly daunting considering that the hard-fought 3-2 victory over bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Utd is the only win the Eagles have had since the beginning of the year, across six matches.

Securing a positive outcome in the forthcoming Premier League matches at Goodison Park will be a challenging task for the visiting team. This is particularly true given that the key pair from Palace, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, who were instrumental in their victory over the last-placed team, are out due to injuries. This situation leaves the 15th-ranked team looking powerless without them.

Adding to the gloom, the Eagles have stumbled in each of their last four away fixtures, with the added blow of conceding a worrying nine goals in their most recent two league excursions, suffering a humiliating 0-5 trashing to Arsenal before succumbing to a 1-4 loss at Brighton’s Amex Stadium. Additionally, Goodison Park isn’t exactly a welcoming ground for Crystal Palace in their quest to return to the winning track, so we’re backing the hosts to come out as victors in the end.
