Crystal Palace form and stats

Crystal Palace participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 3rd round.

4-7-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Crystal Palace so far this season.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Crystal Palace, as their goalkeeper Jack Butland has completely shut out the opponents for 224 minutes in the Premier League.

Palace drew their last game, also a home match. Manchester City was the opponent, 0-0 the score. The goalie Guaita was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.85 out of ten. Guaita topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crystal Palace have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost two.

Crystal Palace are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. Palace have conceded 17 in these home matches.

Everton form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Everton so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-9 (win-draw-lose).

Everton are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the fixture against Newcastle United. Begović was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.62. The agile goalkeeper Begović topped it up with a clean sheet.

A loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.

We have checked recent matches where Everton have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were five victories, two draws and seven defeats.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Everton manager Lampard has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two participants are: one win for Crystal Palace, four draws and five wins for Everton. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
