Eagles Struggle To Contain Big Guns For 90 Minutes

Palace keep getting to half-time level against the top sides but end up with little to show for their efforts by the final whistle.

While Crystal Palace have got highly proficient at beating the other teams down the bottom at home, where they still struggle is against the big guns. Indeed, the Eagles have taken a dismal one point from their 12 matches to date against teams in the top half of the table.

The good news for Tony Pulis’s boys is that that solitary point came against Everton at Selhurst Park last November. It would therefore be fair to expect the Londoners to also acquit themselves well at Goodison Park, but they may just run out of steam in the end. BetVictor go a best price 17/5 on a draw at half-time followed by a full-time home win, and there is a strong trend to suggest this could happen.

In their last three away league fixtures, Palace were level at the break, yet went on to lose at Man City, Spurs and Arsenal. It could happen again at Everton who tend to win matches by small margins more often than not anyway.
