• Competition: FA Cup

• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Selhurst Park Stadium

On Thursday evening, Crystal Palace and Everton will compete against each other in the third round of the FA Cup. This will be the first game of the 2024 calendar year for both teams.

In the 2023 calendar year, Crystal Palace reunited with seasoned manager Roy Hodgson. The 76-year-old helped the club avoid relegation in the previous season. However, the Eagles have struggled this season. So far, they have managed to win back-to-back games only once and are entering Thursday’s match with just one victory from their last nine matches.

Meanwhile, Everton has managed to secure their top flight safety late in the last two seasons, and it doesn’t seem like this season will be any different. The Toffees did experience some positive outcomes after learning about their points’ deduction for violating transfer rules. However, their recent loss in their last three games doesn’t paint a promising picture.

Crystal Palace vs Everton Betting Tips: Both teams to score — Yes

At the beginning of the season, Palace had a hard time scoring goals, however, the club has received a significant lift with Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze coming back from injury. Both players scored last weekend, resulting in the Eagles scoring in their last five consecutive games. In all these five games, both teams managed to score.

The last time Everton faced the Wanderers, they didn’t manage to score, which is unusual considering their recent performance. The Toffees have managed to score at least once in seven out of their previous eight games, and both teams managed to score in three out of the last four games.
