Everton - Southampton betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Everton on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Recovering from a 20 home defeat will be The Toffees’s main aim this Saturday. This last round’s drubbing was a warning sign for the hosts who conceded early in the match and never managed to recover.

Southampton were slight favourites at odds of 2.25 for their previous home match, but that didn’t seem to matter in the end. They lost 0:1 to Nottingham Forest after some concessions in the first half that they never managed to overcome.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Southampton have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Premier League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Though we’re barely at the season’s halfway point, the home team desperately need to win more points. They’re on the track to relegation and are heading into some unfavourable matchups.

Though we’re still lat round 20 of this year’s Premier League, things are starting to look grim for The Saints. Placed at 20th, they’ll be facing relegation unless they manage to climb the standings. To make matters worse, this upcoming match is far from favourable for them.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that The Toffees are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Alex McCarthy, Theo Walcott, Juan Larios López are the players that will be missing, which makes the The Saints lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

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 2.12, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
