AFC Bournemouth - Everton predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.78, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with AFC Bournemouth, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The Cherries did not have big expectations heading into their Premier League trip last time out. At the odds of 3.16 they were not greatly favoured to claim an away win. However, after the first 45 minutes it surely looked as if they could actually snatch the three points. Ultimately, they lacked strength to endure the pressure for the entire match. A Fulham draw is by no means a bad result though.

Everton previously played a home game, but that didn’t help them much. The odds were still against them from the get-go, and they quickly fell behind and never quite managed to recover. The end result was a $RESULT home defeat and a blow to their confidence.

The Cherries have registered 7 goals in their three previous games, so we can expect a lot of action this Saturday.

The home team is currently 7th in the standings, leaving plenty of room for moving both up and down. A win here seems likely and will be a great start towards the 2 points needed to get into the Europa League qualifying spots.

The Toffees are not too far from the relegation zone as we enter round 20, and they’ll have to be careful not to dip below the line. There’s definitely cause for concern among their supporters, though, considering how unfavourable this matchup in Vitality Stadium is.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with AFC Bournemouth taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Adam Smith, Tyler Adams, Marcus Tavernier are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Bournemouth’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
