Everton still winless in Bournemouth in the PL
The clash between Bournemouth and Everton kicks off the midweek fixtures in the Premier League on Tuesday evening. Bournemouth are currently in a bit of a crisis, having lost three of their last four league games – albeit all away from home. On the last matchday, they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Sunderland after leading 2-0. Everton, on the other hand, suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United. Bournemouth have been very strong against Everton in head-to-head matches, scoring at least two goals in six of their eight PL home games – and in four of their six home games this league season. Therefore, our Bournemouth vs. Everton tip is again over 1.5 goals for the Cherries.
Bournemouth are currently extremely strong at home in the league and are unbeaten in seven home games, winning five of them. They generally feel comfortable at Vitality Stadium and have won six of their last eight Premier League matches against Everton, including the last three. However, they have recently faltered in midweek fixtures, losing their last three games after previously going ten midweek games in a row without defeat. Nevertheless, in our Bournemouth vs. Everton prediction, we are tipping a home win for Iraola’s side.
The team has traditionally been stable in December games: they have lost only one of their last twelve games in the last month of the year. The course of the game in this duel is also striking: in the last three league games against Everton, all nine goals were scored after the break. Therefore, for the Bournemouth vs. Everton match, we are betting on at least two goals in the second half at Merkur Bets.
Everton traditionally struggles on the south coast and has never won at Bournemouth in eight away league games, losing the last four. Under David Moyes, however, the team has been much stronger away from home: since his return in January, the Toffees have collected 24 points on the road – only Arsenal has been better during this period.
Their recent 1-0 win at Manchester United was their first away win without conceding a goal since December 22, which shows how rare such runs are for them. It is also striking that Moyes has lost only one of his nine Premier League encounters against Bournemouth. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is also in good form, having been involved in three goals in his last five away appearances.
Bournemouth – Everton Head-to-head record
In the 19 competitive matches between Bournemouth and Everton to date, the Cherries have a slight edge: they have won ten games, while Everton have won seven and two games have ended in a draw. The goal difference is almost equal for both teams. Bournemouth have scored 34 goals, while Everton have scored 30.
Bournemouth – Everton Tip
The hosts, AFC Bournemouth, go into the match against Everton with a strong Premier League home record and a strong direct home record. They have won five of their seven league games in front of their home crowd and are still completely undefeated – the Cherries are also undefeated at home in all PL matches against Everton, winning six of eight games. In addition, AFC scored at least twice in six home games against the Toffees and in four PL home games.
Everton, on the other hand, have collected 24 points away from home since January – only the Gunners have scored more. However, they have already suffered four defeats in their first seven away games this season and only won twice. Head coach David Moyes has ensured a positive record, losing only one of his nine Premier League encounters against Bournemouth.
