Crystal Palace vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-14 17:30.
[p]As the one-year anniversary of his appointment approaches, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has really got the Eagles soaring right now, coming into this clash with Everton after winning five of their past six competitive matches (L1). That sole defeat did come on home turf and that has been a story of their season so far, with only struggling Ipswich and Southampton winning fewer home league games than Palace’s two this term.[/p]
[p]That’s been a big reason why Palace have been unable to mount a legitimate push for the European spots and instead start this round in mid-table. A rotten H2H run against Everton, with just one of the past 20 league matches delivering a victory (D9, L10), certainly won’t serve to build any confidence they can close the gap on the top-half sides here.[/p]
[p]Everton will travel south on a huge high after James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equaliser against Liverpool in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park rescued a point in Wednesday’s pulsating 2-2 draw. That extended the Toffees’ undefeated Premier League run to four matches (W3, D1), highlighting the almost immediate positive impact manager David Moyes has had since re-joining the club last month. [/p]
[p]Moyes will be keen to see his side build on that form and push up the table, with Everton only three points behind their hosts ahead of the round. To do that, the Merseysiders will need to snap a rotten run in the capital, with none of their last seven visits resulting in a win (D3, L4), though their last such success was at Selhurst Park back in November 2023. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta (G34) needs one more goal to move level with Christian Benteke (35) as Crystal Palace’s second-top Premier League scorer – he has six goals in five Premier League games in 2025. Everton’s Beto opened the scoring on Wednesday night to take his league tally to four, surpassing his total for last season (three) and scoring in back-to-back appearances for the first time in the competition. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Oliver Glasner could become just the fourth manager to win his first four H2Hs against David Moyes.[/p]
