Everton - Fulham predictions

Fulham will give Everton a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.18 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

It would be a minor miracle for The Cottagers to win at Everton, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.58 price on most online sportsbooks.

The Toffees’s travelling fans were quite excited during last rounds’ half-time break when the team managed to snag an early lead againstSunderland . The tough opponents they were paired with equalized before the end (1:1), but it was still a decent effort.

The Cottagers gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, snagging a decisive 3:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Experts have pointed at The Toffees’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The hosts can boast a total of 12 points earned so far, which places them rather low in the standings at 14th. Earning 3 points this Saturday will go a long way in improving that, though it won’t be easy.

Fulham started the season off on the wrong foot, but there’s plenty of time to avert disaster. They’ve managed to avoid dipping into the relegation zone so far, but there are only 4 points separating them at this point. Even more worryingly, most bookies are expecting them to lose this showdown with Away Win betting odds sitting around 3.58.

Everton have a relatively recent victory on record against Fulham. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.19, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
