A huge match is set for Goodison Park this weekend, as Everton and Bournemouth look to ease the pressure on their shoulders. Both sides were beaten in the previous round of matches, and both will be looking for a response on Saturday.
Premier League Preview
Everton will be looking to respond this weekend after they were handed a shock home defeat in the previous round of matches against Luton Town. The Toffees sit just outside the bottom three places coming into the round of matches, and their home form is becoming a huge concern for Sean Dyche.
Everton were incredibly wasteful in the final third against the Hatters last weekend, with their only goal being netted with five minutes remaining of the first half by Dominic Calvert Lewin. However, the Toffees were poor in the final third in the second half, with Beto missing two glorious opportunities to rescue a point. The defeat means that Everton have now lost each of their opening four home matches at the start of a new season for the second time in their history.
Bet hereBournemouth will also be looking for a big performance this weekend, as they continue their search for a first league win of the season. The Cherries were put in their place by Arsenal in the previous round of matches, as they were swatted aside by a 4-0 scoreline at the Vitality Stadium.
The defeat saw Bournemouth drop into the relegation places, and there is a feeling that the pressure is growing on Andoni Iraola following a poor start to the campaign. Bournemouth have now failed to win each of their last eleven matches in the Premier League, which is the longest winless streak of any side in the division.
Everton vs Bournemouth Head to Head
Everton landed a 1-0 win in this exact fixture last season to avoid relegation. However, that win ended a three-game winning sequence for Bournemouth, which included a 3-1 win at Goodison Park in July 2020. Everton have won just twice in the previous seven matches against the Cherries in the league.
Everton vs Bournemouth Prediction
The pressure will be on both of these teams in the Premier League this weekend, and a response will be expected from both. However, we could see the Cherries finally getting off the mark for the new season with a first victory to enhance their record against the Toffees.
