Crystal Palace form and stats

2 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Crystal Palace have to build on here at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. Palace has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Vieira and the players.

Palace haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. M. Guehi scored that one.

Palace lost their last game at Manchester United (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Midfielder Conor Gallagher was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.62 (out of ten) in that game. Gallagher hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 36 successful passes (of 40 total).

Heartbreak before that as Palace lost 0-1 at Leeds United's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Crystal Palace perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Crystal Palace as a small favourite), we find eight games. Palace has won four of these, drawn two and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Southampton are coming to town in three days.

Palace has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Crystal Palace have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Everton form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Everton so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Everton are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Everton had fun at their own home (Selhurst Park) last time out, beating Arsenal 2-1. Richarlison and Demarai Gray scored. Late drama in the previous game, when Demarai Gray scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Arsenal. Attacker Richarlison got a player rating of 8.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Richarlison scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Liverpool.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Everton playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were three Everton wins, zero draws and one defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Chelsea.

The attacking power of Everton when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. In the opposite end, Everton have conceded 12 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between these sides: Palace won zero, Everton were winners in five and we saw five draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.
