Our tip: Everton – Crystal Palace: 1

19.02.2024 21:00

Not even a well-organized defensive game kept Everton from defeat at Manchester City (0:2) in the last round, which was their seventh league game without a win (0-3-4). Everton is still one point behind for salvation, and five points above them is their next opponent Crystal Palace, who lost their last two games with a total score of 2:7.

Sean Dyche praised his charges for their defensive work, but he also asked them to take a cue from Erling Haaland, because once again the Toffees didn’t show much with the ball on the hoof. This is nothing new, however, as Everton have failed to score in ten league games, a feat no other team in the PL has surpassed.

The legendary Roy Hodgson has described his current travails on the Crystal Palace bench as the most difficult period of his career, but the London outfit are not giving up their fight for salvation. Nor should they, with a five-point lead still remaining. In terms of the last ten games, however, Palace are the second worst in the league (2-2-6 before the start of the round), and they have conceded the second highest number of goals (24).

What to bet on:

Everton will once again show good defensive work, which last time allowed a strong Manchester City side their first shot on target in the 71st minute, and this time they will add some goals against a struggling opponent. Everton have scored at home at least twice in three of their last five appearances (Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle) and will do so again against unconvincing opposition defences.

Trust:

6/10
