The current Over/Under line is set at 2.25 goals. In the context of the modern Premier League, this is a relatively low figure, signaling that experts anticipate a tense, highly tactical, and low-scoring affair. Statistical Justification for the Under Head-to-Head (H2H) Trend: The last 5 encounters between these two sides have yielded a combined total of just 9 goals, averaging only 1.8 goals per match. This is significantly below the 2.25 line. Season Form and Defensive Focus (2025 Campaign) Everton (Home): Everton’s recent form is inconsistent (2 losses, 2 draws in the last 4 matches). Their attack lacks teeth, and even at home, they struggle to produce high-scoring games. Crucially, 7 out of Everton’s last 9 matches have finished with a maximum of 2 goals, reflecting their ongoing struggles in the final third. Crystal Palace (Away): Despite their excellent form (19-match unbeaten streak across all competitions under Oliver Glasner), Palace’s style is built on solid defense and quick transitions, not rampant attacking. Like Everton, 7 out of Palace’s last 10 matches also finished with 2 goals or fewer, proving they are a disciplined side that is hard to break down. Match Dynamics This is a high-stakes encounter where a draw helps Palace extend their record streak, while Everton is desperate to end a poor run at home. The pressure for results will force both teams to prioritize defensive solidity and avoiding conceding over aggressive goal-hunting. Conclusion: Given the historical low-scoring trend and the current defensive discipline/attacking struggles of both sides, the Under 2.25 is the highly favored pick. Pick: ⇒ Under 2.25 FT (Full Time)
