Everton

On October 5, Hill Dickinson Stadium will host a clash between Everton and Crystal Palace. With both teams in strong form, this game promises to be highly engaging.

Everton currently sit in ninth place in the Premier League table, collecting 8 points from their opening six matches. David Moyes’ men have lost only twice, including a defeat to fierce rivals Liverpool, and overall their start to the season can be considered fairly successful.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have exceeded all expectations at the start of the campaign. The London side are sitting in third place in England’s top division. Along the way, they have already faced heavyweights like Chelsea and Liverpool — and in the sixth round Palace even defeated the Reds 2–1.

Prediction for the Everton vs Crystal Palace

Both clubs place a strong emphasis on defensive organization, and I expect this to remain unchanged. The match is likely to begin with long spells of possession in midfield, patient probing, and attempts to expose each other’s weaknesses. If either side manages to score, they will likely drop deep and focus on protecting their lead.

As a result, I do not anticipate a high-scoring encounter. The best value seems to be on Under 2.5 total goals.
