On August 10, from 15:00 pm, Crystal Palace and Everton duel in the first leg of the 2019/2020 Premier League season. It is a tradition duel of England, which Everton has not lost by 10 straight matches! Last season, the “caramels” won 2-0 at home and drew 0-0 in the away white.
Everton has done good business in recent years and, besides having a good lot at its disposal, enjoys solid financial security. This allows the blue-and-white to propose year by year ranking in the Top 10, goal successfully achieved in the recent era. In this summer’s friendly, however, Everton was surprisingly weak from an offensive point of view: he won the match with Monaco (1-0), but then lost the duels with Sevilla (0-1) and Mainz (1-3) , also drawing with Werder Bremen (0-0) and Wigan (0-0).
And Crystal Palace has played modestly in the tests this summer, which is why we are not convinced that any of the bands is a favorite to win. Probably we will attend a first round of tapping, in which both managers will be cautious and will try to avoid defensive errors. Usually, the “correct” bet in this duel is the one on the corners, which we will bet once again.
Everton have a good pass game, and the Liverpool team can be very dangerous with Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott, Sigurdsson and newly acquired Moise Kean. Under the command of Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace has not strengthened its lot in the summer, so the danger of relegation will leave the Londoners in 2020. That’s why we think the blue-red will focus on the defensive in front of Everton, in the hope of a valuable point.
