Key stats
- Everton are undefeated in their last nine home matches against Crystal Palace in all competitions.
- Under 2.5 goals have been scored in six of Crystal Palace’s last seven away games in the Premier League.
- There have been four red cards shown in the last six meetings between these two clubs.
Our correct score prediction is a 1-0 victory for Everton. This has all the hallmarks of a classic David Moyes performance at Goodison Park. Expect a tight, attritional game with few clear-cut chances. Everton’s strength from set-pieces and their solid defensive structure at home could be the key to unlocking a stubborn Palace defence. Crystal Palace’s away games have been notoriously low-scoring, and against a physical Everton side, they may struggle to create opportunities from open play. A single goal, likely from a corner or free-kick, could be enough to settle this contest in favour of the Toffees.
