Everton and Crystal Palace face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Goodison Park. When these two teams faced off on May 19th it was Everton that secured the 3-2 victory.
Everton comes into this game sitting in 15th place in the standings having picked up 10 points. Everton has really struggled coming into this game, losing two games in a row. Two games ago against Tottehmah they were defeated 2-0 and in the last game against Newcastle they lost 1-0. Everton gave up a goal in the 30th minute to Newcastle, and that led to the defeat. Everton had 51 percent of the possession and zero shots on goal. Yerry Mina, Andros Townsend, Ben Godfrey, and Nathan Patterson are all dealing with injuries, and they won’t be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Crystal Palace, who sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 13 points. In the last game against the Wolves, Crystal Palace was able to secure a 2-1 victory. Eberechi Eze scored in the 47th minute and Wilfried Zaha scored in the 70th minute. Crystal Palace had 52 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Nathaniel Clyne, Nathan Ferguson, James McArthur, Chris Richards, and Jack Butland are all dealing with injuries right now, and they won’t be able to go in this game.
Everton again are going to struggle to score in this game, and it’s only going to take one goal by Crystal Palace to get the job done. I expect Crystal Palace are going to score the goal, and that is going to be the difference as they get the job done. Look for a 1-0 or 2-0 type of game, and Crystal Palace will secure the victory.
