Everton vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Much stronger since the return to the bench of David Moyes last January, Everton aims to win quiet support this season. The Liverpool club is rather beautiful at the start of the championship and today occupies the 9th row of the Premier League. After chaining three games without setbacks 2 wins and 1 draw, the Toffees fell to the prestigious neighbor Liverpool 2-1. Last Monday, they lacked a great opportunity to revive. Despite the support of his fans, Everton was forced to share the points with the evil classified West Ham 1-1. The past, Crystal Palace marked the spirits with this title acquired in FA Cup, thus winning the first major trophy in the history of the club.

Still under the orders of the technician Oliver Glasner, the London formation launched this new exercise perfectly by beating Liverpool during the Community Shield 2-2, victory following penalty shootout. The Eagles are also convincing in the league. They are currently 3rd in the Premier League and have not yet conceded the slightest setbacks 3 wins and 3 draws. This is the only team always undefeated in the league. After being held in check, at home, by Sunderland 0-0, Crystal Palace beat West Ham 1-2 and offered the SCALP of Leader Liverpool last weekend 2-1. 

Historically, Everton have had the upper hand in this fixture, boasting 12 wins to Palace’s 4 in their last 27 meetings. However, the margins have often been slim, and Palace’s last visit to Merseyside ended in a gritty 0-0 draw. This time, the stakes are higher as both clubs hover around mid-table, eager to build momentum before the international break. Dyche’s compact 4-4-2 will likely clash with Glasner’s fluid 3-4-2-1, setting the stage for a tactical chess match where set-pieces and second balls could prove decisive.

Given the current form and squad dynamics, a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Everton feels plausible. Calvert-Lewin’s aerial threat and McNeil’s delivery could unlock Palace’s back three, while Eze may conjure a moment of brilliance to keep the visitors in the hunt. Expect a cagey first half, followed by a more open second period as both managers adjust. In the end, Everton’s home advantage and defensive discipline should edge them past a spirited Palace side in a match that balances grit with flashes of guile.

• Summary: Everton is going head to head with Crystal Palace starting on 5 Oct 2025 at 13:00 UTC at Everton Stadium stadium, Liverpool city, England. The match is a part of the Premier League .
