Everton vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips: Everton to Win

The Premier League's decision to deduct a hefty 10 points from their tally due to financial rule violations didn't dampen the spirits of the Merseysiders, who bounced back brilliantly by stringing together an impressive four-match winning streak, keeping clean sheets in every fixture as they dispatched Nottingham, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Burnley along the way.

Unfortunately, Everton's fortunes have taken a drastic turn for the worse since mid-December, as they've endured seven top-flight fixtures on the bounce without a single triumphant outcome, adding a mere three paltry points to their coffers during that stretch, culminating in their descent into the bottom three, albeit just a point adrift of safety.

Currently in jeopardy, the Toffees are banking on a swift exit from the danger zone by drawing confidence from holding two top-four contenders to draws, Aston Villa (0-0) and Tottenham (2-2), while simultaneously boasting a dominant home record against Monday's rivals, defeating them in all but one of their last seven H2H clashes at Goodison Park.

Facing a multitude of difficulties both on and off the pitch in recent weeks, Crystal Palace, Everton's frequent opponent this campaign, might embark on a visit to the blue side of Liverpool with a new manager at the helm, as Oliver Glasner is poised to replace Roy Hodgson, especially after the 76-year-old fell ill during training earlier in the week.

Whoever leads the side from the touchline on Monday night will face the daunting task of halting the avalanche of dismal Palace's results and restoring the faith of frustrated fans, given the hard-earned 3-2 triumph against the foot-of-the-table side Sheffield Utd remains the Eagles' sole celebration since the start of the year spanning six outings.

Taking any form of positive result in the upcoming Premier League action will be an uphill batle for the visitors to Goodison Park, especially considering that the main Palace's tandem Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, tha duo who single-handedly orchestrated the victory over the basement boys, are sidelined due to injuries, rendering the 15th-ranked side seemingly toothless in their absence.

Adding to the gloom, the Eagles have stumbled in each of their last four away fixtures, with the added blow of conceding a worrying nine goals in their most recent two league excursions, suffering a humiliating 0-5 trashing to Arsenal before succumbing to a 1-4 loss at Brighton's Amex Stadium. Additionally, Goodison Park isn't exactly a welcoming ground for Crystal Palace in their quest to return to the winning track, so we're backing the hosts to come out as victors in the end.
