AFC Bournemouth - Everton predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Everton. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, The Toffees would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

The hosts are coming off of a win against Luton Town, but it’s worth noting that they hit a few snags along the way. Despite overwhelmingly optimistic betting predictions, they only managed to take the lead back in the second half.

Everton’s previous Premier League away game was a complete disaster, with them being behind throughout the match and ultimately losing 2:0. It was hardly an unexpected loss, though – top online bookies gave them odds of 4.32 to win, firmly indicating that they were both underdogs and the visiting team.

With a defensive record like the one AFC Bournemouth boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Vitality Stadium seems lost on them.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

A good part of the season is already behind us, and The Toffees are hovering just above the relegation zone as the number 16th team in the standings. They have precious little time to earn a better placement, and The Cherries are likely to make their task even harder.

Despite the 2.22 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against The Toffees. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Lloyd Kelly, Marcos Senesi, Ryan Fredericks, Luis Sinisterra, James Hill for the hosts, and Idrissa Gueye, Dele Alli, Arnaut Danjuma for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

At the odds of 2.21, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for AFC Bournemouth.
