Crystal Palace vs Everton Prediction
🔊 Ten consecutive head-to-head matches without a win-this is more than just a streak, it's a troubling pattern. You have to wonder if Crystal Palace players feel their knees shake when Everton are on the horizon. On May 10th, the Eagles will have a chance to break this curse, but they aren't considered favorites even on their home turf at Selhurst Park. The reason? Everton's strong motivation in the league, as they made a significant impact on the title race in the last round.
Head-to-Head
📊 The history of this matchup has been quite unfortunate for the hosts. In their last ten encounters, Crystal Palace have failed to secure a single victory against Everton. The Toffees have won the last three meetings, each ending with a 2-1 scoreline. Their most recent clash took place on October 5, 2025, and initially favored the Eagles, who led until the 76th minute. However, efforts from Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish turned the game around.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Crystal Palace Team Overview
The Eagles' remarkable European campaign stands in stark contrast to their lackluster form in the Premier League. Oliver Glasner's side currently sit 15th in the domestic standings, with 43 points after 34 matches. They trail the European qualification spots by a daunting eight points, putting all their focus on the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano. Their last two victories in official competitions have come in Europe, while they remain winless in their last three Premier League outings.
Their most recent league match ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Glasner's protégés looked physically drained and failed to pose any real threat to their opponents' goal. Following this setback, the players were given a day off, which seemingly rejuvenated them as they secured an impressive 2-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk just two days later. Over the two-legged affair, the Ukrainian giants were comprehensively beaten 5-2, with Ismaïla Sarr finding the net in both matches, moving up to second place in the Conference League's top scorers' race with nine goals.

Everton Team Overview
The Toffees are entering a crucial phase of the season with a genuine chance to qualify for European competitions via the Premier League. David Moyes' side currently sit 10th with 48 points after 35 matches, just three points shy of the coveted 7th place. In their last ten away fixtures, Everton have secured five wins and three draws, turning a trip to South London from a challenge into an opportunity to enhance their league standing.
In their previous outing, Moyes' men engaged in a thrilling goal-fest against Manchester City at Hill Dickinson, ending in a 3-3 draw. Thierno Barry, often rated as the Premier League's lowest-performing player by some outlets, emerged as a true wildcard. The Frenchman netted twice in the second half after coming off the bench, but Jeremy Doku's 96th-minute goal denied the Toffees a sensational victory. Prior to this, Everton suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in a dramatic Merseyside derby, decided in the 100th minute, and also lost to West Ham (2-1), conceding in the 92nd. This run of results can hardly be dismissed as mere bad luck.

Latest news
Crystal Palace
❔ Evan Guessan and Borna Sosa are doubtful for the upcoming match, having missed the last six and two games respectively. However, neither are part of the starting lineup.
❌ Cheick Doucouré and Eddie Nketiah remain sidelined, as they haven't played in 2026.
Everton
🚫 Winger Jack Grealish, on loan from Manchester City, will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing foot surgery in January. Key central defender Jarrad Branthwaite is sidelined for the rest of the campaign due to a hamstring injury sustained during the derby against Liverpool.
❔ Key defensive midfielder Idrissa Gueye missed the match against City due to an injury picked up in training, and his participation in Sunday's game remains uncertain, as Moyes is deliberately keeping details under wraps. In Gueye's absence, Tim Iroegbunam has shone brilliantly.
🟨 Prediction for Yellow Cards
Thomas Bramall has been appointed as the main referee. Known for his rather strict officiating style, the Englishman has shown 82 yellow cards in 20 matches this season, averaging 4.1 per game. The upcoming clash promises intense battles and a flurry of yellow cards, as both teams have high physicality trends and average around two cautions per match. Adding to this is the home team's physical fatigue from Thursday's game, often compensated by tough tackles, making a total over 3.5 yellow cards at odds of 1.60* a logical bet.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Two days of rest compared to five is too significant a difference to expect a spectacle from the Eagles on Sunday. Glasner himself admitted that after the first match with Shakhtar, his players weren't fresh, so he gave them Friday off. However, Everton, without Branthwaite, are vulnerable defensively and have conceded in six consecutive away games. Moreover, in the last five Premier League head-to-heads, both teams found the net. Both teams to score (yes) at odds of 1.80* looks like a solid choice under these conditions.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Bookmakers aren't expecting a high number of corners, although stats suggest otherwise. While the teams' average season figures aren't particularly high, not even reaching five corner kicks per game, in 6 of the last 7 head-to-heads at Selhurst Park, the total over 8.5 corners was achieved. Recently, both Crystal Palace and Everton have been involved in high-scoring games, so we don't anticipate a dull match and choose this option at odds of 1.54*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
The key factor here will be the freshness of the visitors. David Moyes had almost a week to prepare and will likely set up his side to play on the counterattack. Oliver Glasner, despite his assurances that his team won't surrender, must consider the physical condition of his players after an emotionally and physically draining match on Thursday. The historical advantage favors the visitors, and their impressive away form strengthens the belief that they will take at least a point from Selhurst Park. A possible scoreline is 1-2, with the main bet from Scores24 being under 1.5 goals for Crystal Palace. This outcome has occurred in six of the last seven Premier League head-to-head meetings between these teams.
