Crystal Palace vs Everton 04.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup

Match Overview

Crystal Palace and Everton meet each other in a match in the FA Cup at Selhurst Park in London. Everton have not had the best of times in the league this season and will want to change things around when they face Palace in this encounter of theirs. Everton will have to play out of their skins because taking Palace on at home is no easy task.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of 22 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won four. Everton, surprisingly, have won nine games against Palace in the past while a staggering nine games are played out as drawn encounters. This game will be quite closely contested between the two teams as well.

Injury Report

Both these teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. While Crystal Palace will have to make do without the presence of Sam Johnstone, Rob Holding and Nathan Ferguson. Delle Ali and Ashley Young are among those who will be missing out for Everton in this game.

Prediction

The last time these two teams met was in November last year at the same venue. In that game, Everton had managed to edge Crystal Palace out by a narrow yet significant 3-2 scoreline. They will want to do the same this time around as well. Neither Crystal Palace nor Everton appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
