Everton vs Crystal Palace Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Everton vs Crystal Palace predictions and betting tips for the Friday Night Football this week and the best odds for bets including a BTTS and anytime goalscorers.

 

Everton will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat against Bournemouth when they host Crystal Palace on Friday night. Here are some predictions for the game live on Sky Sports.

 

New Everton boss Ronald Koeman would have been very happy with his side’s start to the season before last Saturday when they failed to turn up against Bournemouth. Time will tell whether this was just a blip or not, but they will be hoping that Romelu Lukaku and co have a better performance than last weekend. In contrast Crystal Palace have won their last three premier league games and come into this game on a high after a last minute winner against Sunderland last week and will be hoping to continue their impressive recent record at Goodison Park.

 

Everton vs Crystal Palace Predictions

 

In the last three times that Crystal Palace have played Everton away from home both teams have scored and this is going to be my first Everton vs Crystal Palace prediction for the Friday Night Football. Although this isn’t going to make you rich with odds of 3/4 at Bet365, I think this is a banker. Palace look vulnerable at the back without Scott Dann and going forward Andros Townsend and Christian Benteke are starting to click and I think Pardew’s men definitely have a goal in them.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

My second Everton vs Crystal Palace betting tip is going to be for both teams’ centre forwards to score. Lukaku seems to always have plenty of chances when his side are playing at home and scored in their last home league match against Middlesbrough. He is odds on with many bookies to score anytime so I thought I would add in in-form Christian Benteke to the mix as he has scored in his last two away games for Palace and I can see him scoring again here. Odds for both players to score at 5/1 at Sky Bet.

My third and final betting tip for Everton vs Crystal Palace is going to be for a header to be the first goal method of the match. With both centre forwards strong in the air and both teams good at set pieces I think a header could be the way to go for the opening goal. You can get odds of 9/2 for this to happen at Sky Bet.

Everton vs Crystal Palace Team News

Leighton Baines is a doubt for the game on Friday night as he continues to struggle with a hamstring injury and it remains to be seen whether Bryan Oviedo will deputise or if Koeman will go for Mason Holgate in that left-back position. Crystal Palace will be without Scott Dann who is a huge miss for the Eagles as he has been in great form at the start of the season and has even contributed with a couple of goals. Wilfred Zaha has a slight knock but Alan Pardew is hoping that he will be fit enough to play come Friday.

 

Everton vs Crystal Palace Head-to-Head

As mentioned earlier, Crystal Palace have a very good record at Goodison Park in recent years. They are unbeaten in their last three visits and two of these have been 3-2 victories. In their last five meetings, Everton have only won once and that was courtesy of an early Romelu Lukaku goal back in January 2015.
