Everton welcome Crystal Palace to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for their Premier League opener. A clash between two established EPL teams, the Toffees head into this one as favorites to win the match. Everton didn't exactly set the world alight last season as they finished in a below-average 13th place. Evertonians will be expecting more from their side this campaign, but they face a potentially tough start up against the Eagles.
It will be interesting to see how the Eagles fare this season. They've enjoyed success in recent campaigns, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2025 - the first major honors in their history. Palace followed that up by lifting the UEFA Conference League title last season. That was under the leadership of Oliver Glasner, though. Whether Pierre Sage can replicate this success is unlikely. Over the last year, Palace have sold their best players, including Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and most recently Maxence Lacroix. Their Premier League form wasn't especially pleasing last time out, with the club seemingly concentrating on their European campaign. Crystal Palace is one of those sides where you wouldn't be surprised to see them finish in the top 8, but it would be equally unsurprising if they found themselves in the relegation mire.
Onto the game. Palace have a poor record against Everton. The South London side has failed to win any of the last 11 meetings between the two. In fact, the last time Palace beat Everton was in the FA Cup back in 2022. Since then, Everton has won seven and drawn four of the last 11 head-to-heads. Both sides to tend to score in this fixture, though. The last five meetings between the sides has seen both find the back of the net at least once. The last time Palace failed to score against Everton in the Premier League was back in 2019. For our prediction, we're thinking a home win, just. Both teams should find the net, with Everton just sneaking the three points.

Our Everton vs Crystal Palace Prediction
While Everton's home form last season wasn't particularly pleasing, they won just six of their 19 EPL home games, we're expecting them to get off to a winning start here. The managerial and player changes at Crystal Palace make it a little difficult to assess their chances, but for us Everton away provides a tough start to their 26/27 Premier League campaign. We think both sides will find the net, taking advantage of each other's inconsistent defences, but Everton will do enough to take all three points.
Our prediction for Everton vs Crystal Palace is: Everton to Win/BTTS
