Everton vs Crystal Palace prediction, odds & betting tips

Kick-off: 1945, 19/05/2022

Stadium: Goodison Park

Everton missed a good chance to end their relegation fears when losing to Brentford and now face a tricky test against Crystal Palace.

The Eagles are unbeaten in four matches, playing well and still hoping to finish the season in the top half of the Premier League table.

We reckon 3.4 for a draw is the way to go with our opening Everton vs Crystal Palace prediction.

Everton Odds

Everton would have been safe if beating the Bees at Goodison Park and led twice in that match through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

However, the Toffees had Jarrad Branthwaite sent off early on and Salomon Rondon saw red in the closing stages of a frustrating 3-2 defeat.

Frank Lampard commented: “We want to stay in the league and everyone saw the intention of the team from the first minute to last.

“We just need to rest a bit, be positive and everyone get together from the club like we did. That’s the beauty of it being in our hands.

“Outstanding effort, the period when it was 11 v 11 it felt like we controlled the game and we should have scored more against a really good side.

“It’s really hard to say anything to them after that. They just need to go again with the same desire, hopefully with 11 men through the game.”

There will be no shortage of passion either on the pitch or in the stands, but staying disciplined is a must at this stage.

At least Richarlison’s performance was impressive on Sunday, as the Brazil international reached double figures for the season.

Punters can get Everton vs Crystal Palace odds.

Last Everton line-up: Pickford, Holgate, Mykolenko, Coleman, Branthwaite, Doucoure, Gomes, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi, Gordon.

Crystal Palace Odds

We were tempted to go with Palace to prevail as a value bet on current form, especially as they are showing no signs of easing up.

The Eagles beat Southampton and Watford before coming from behind to draw 1-1 at Aston Villa, via an 81st-minute Jeffrey Schlupp goal.

Patrick Vieira has done a fine job in rebuilding the London outfit and admits they are still a work in progress.

“We tried our best but when we get to the last third, we don’t always make the right decisions,” Vieira said.

“Of course, we need to keep working and improving, but this is one of the areas that next year we will have to be better.

“There was a space for us, with the way we played and the chances we created, and we should score more than one goal.”

To be fair, Villa also created several other good chances, though, and we are also put off backing Palace by a run of six trips to this ground without a win.

However, they have drawn 1-1 on three of those visits and 6.75 for that scoreline to come up again completes our Everton vs Crystal Palace betting tips.

Last Palace line-up: Butland, Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Clyne, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Eze, Gallagher, Zaha, Mateta.
