Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everton to Win | 2.68 @ matchbook (37.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | After the high of reaching the Conference League final on Thursday, the hosts have had significantly less time to prepare for this clash against Everton. With a bit of fatigue for Palace and some expected rotation of the first XI, the visitors look a standout price this weekend at around 13/8 with most bookmakers. |
| Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to score anytime | 4/1 @ betfair (20.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been one of the standout performers for Everton this season and along with Thierno Barry and Beto, is their joint top-scorer this season having bagged eight goals. Five of those have come on the road in the Premier League. With quotes of 4/1 for him to score anytime after 4 in his last 11, there’s plenty of reason to get behind him here in what could be a big win for Everton. |

How both teams go into Crystal Palace vs Everton
Crystal Palace are enjoying a memorable season after reaching the final of the UEFA Conference League, seeing off Shakhtar Donetsk 5-2 on aggregate to move within touching distance of a first ever European trophy under Oliver Glasner. They now face Rayo Vallecano in the final, while also needing a few more points to confirm Premier League safety after recent defeats to AFC Bournemouth and Liverpool left them 15th in the table.
Despite a dip in attacking output in the league, Palace remain very strong at home, going unbeaten in their last eight games at Selhurst Park while conceding just twice in that run. Victory this weekend would secure survival and allow full focus on their European final push.
Everton were involved in a chaotic 3-3 draw with Manchester City, a match where Jeremy Doku scored twice as the Toffees twice let leads slip, extending their winless run in the Premier League to four games and leaving them four points off the top six under David Moyes.
Late goals continue to haunt Everton after defeats to Liverpool and West Ham United, with three straight matches now featuring stoppage time goals against them, while defensive issues persist with at least two conceded in most recent outings. However, they have enjoyed recent success against Crystal Palace, winning their last three meetings 2-1.
Crystal Palace team news
Crystal Palace have no new injury concerns after their historic UEFA Conference League success, but Oliver Glasner is expected to rotate his squad with players like Adam Wharton, Tyrick Mitchell, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Yeremy Pino and Ismaila Sarr all candidates for rest, while Eddie Nketiah, Evann Guessand and Cheick Doucoure remain unavailable.
Everton team news
Everton are expected to be without Idrissa Gueye after the midfielder missed training again following a minor knock, while Jack Grealish remains sidelined with a foot injury and Jarrad Branthwaite is still out with a hamstring issue; after scoring twice off the bench against Manchester City, Thierno Barry is pushing to start up front in what could be the only change for David Moyes’s side.
