Everton take on the visitors Crystal Palace on Premier League matchday 7. The match will be played at Goodison Park on Friday, September 30th.
Crystal Palace show excellent results at Goodison Park since return to the Premier League, taking one draw, 1-1, and two 3-2 wins. At the same time, we should note that the Eagles have problem recording clean sheet, allowing at least one goal in recent 11 Premier League matches. The hosts of the match had impressive start of the season but the fairytale ended with 0-2 loss to Norwich in League Cup and 0-1 loss to Bournemouth. So, Everton allows goals in their recent three matches. Moreover, Koeman’s teams (Everton and Southampton) recorded only two clean sheets in last 18 matches, so it’s not a tough task to score against Dutchman’s side.

Everton struggles from absence of Baines. His replacement Oviedo lacks skills and modest winger Stanislas did whatever he wanted on his flank. Zaha is way more skilled player and we should create more chances. Everton allowed goals in two of their three home game, recording clean sheet only against awful Stoke. Crystal Palace, in turn, are on three match winning streak and scored 10 goals in September. The team can count of their defense, allowing goals in each match of the season 2016/17 so far.
It would be hard to end this series at Goodison Park for several reasons: the visiotrs can’t count on key defenders Suare and Dunn, Lukaku show excellent form and Everton is motivated to end poor results. We should note that only Liverpool had more shots on goal than Everton in past six matches. On the other side of the field we have Crystal Palace, the team that is crucial with counterattacks. This is the reason why the Eagles scored more goals on the road this season that at home. All suggest that both team will manage to score in this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
