Everton - Southampton betting tips and odds

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Southampton are still on the table.

Southampton will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.45 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

The 0:2 result of Everton’s previous outing was quite surprising, to say the least. Playing as visitors against heavily favoured Liverpool , they secured a lead in the first half against a far stronger opponent, catching them by surprise.

Even though Southampton managed to hold on to an even score against Leeds United throughout the first half of their previous away game, they couldn’t beat the overwhelming odds they were up against. In the end, Leeds United secured a decisive 3:0 victory.

Everton fans at Goodison Park have seen a lot of concessions lately – 7 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

We’re already at round 26 of the Premier League season, and positions are starting to solidify. Some difficult matches are ahead for Everton if they want to do better than their current 7th position.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Premier League clash tells a different story. Everton lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.00 odds offered at Betsson.
