Everton - Burnley predictions

We don’t expect Everton to have any issues beating Burnley. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.71 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The Clarets are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of The Toffees.

Everton’s 1:1 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Newcastle United , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

Burnley’s home performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round wasn’t spectacular, ending in a 1:1 stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead, but The Clarets can be happier with this outcome considering the balance of power wasn’t in their favour.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Burnley’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 7 in their previous 3 away games.

With the end of the season rapidly approaching, Everton’s vicinity to the relegation zone is becoming an issue. Sitting 4 away from the drop zone, this Saturday is a great chance for them to get move away from the bottom part of the table.

The visitors are well on their way towards relegation unless they can close the 3 -point difference before it’s too late. We’re already at round 32, though, and they’re heading into a very unfavourable matchup.

These two teams happened to meet several times this season alone – albeit in different competitions. As the betting odds might imply, Everton proved to be the dominant squad in those clashes. They recorded multiple convincing victories.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

With the two teams’ recent track records in mind, this match is perfect for a very safe Both Teams to Score wager.
