Bournemouth vs Everton Preview
Bournemouth
Bournemouth, along with Nottingham Forest, have been one of the teams to watch out for in the Premier League this season, and one can safely assume that they will compete for a spot in at least the UEFA Europa Conference League in their next campaign. Their play from the wings, especially during counter-attacks has been stupendous.

Against Everton, the Cherries will have to put up their best performance given that their opponents are known to punish mistakes relentlessly. Bournemouth’s defenders, all of whom are confident on the ball, will want to push further up the pitch and trouble the visiting side’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford by supplying good balls into the box.
Bournemouth are ranked in the sixth position of the league table at the moment with 30 points and are expected to pocket even more in the near future.

Having been unbeaten in their last five matches will have given the Cherries a lot of confidence, and they will be hoping for a positive showing in this game as well.
Everton
Everton, under manager Sean Dyche, have looked a shadow of their former selves this season, and are struggling to move ahead.
The Toffees are ranked in the 16th position of the league table with just 17 points, and are in big danger of dropping into the relegation zone if they continue to lose on a regular basis.

The visitors have won just one out of their last five matches, and this is a statistic that their manager will be keen on changing. With Dwight McNeil and Seamus Coleman doubtful starters for this game, the Toffees will hope that the players in their reserves are able to withstand the pressure about to come their way in this away fixture.
Dyche likes to play his team in a 4-3-3 formation in which central midfielder Gueye has a vital role to play.

He acts as the conduit between defence and attack and supplies balls to the latter while taking them from the former. His colleagues in midfield, Doucoure and Mangala, will have to help him out whenever he faces any pressure from their opponents.
Bet hereBournemouth vs Everton Prediction
- Pick: Bournemouth to win or draw
- Odds: 1.234 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Bournemouth 2-0 Everton
Bournemouth are the downright favourites to win this game, and we expect them to either win or draw here. The Cherries have been one of the teams to watch out for in the Premier League this season, and manager Andoni Iraola has made sure that their attacking play has not been hampered by organisation in defence.
The Cherries like to get on with the game quickly, and having been unbeaten in their last five matches will give them the confidence to push past their limits.
Historically, they enjoy a superiority over Everton in this fixture as they have won or drawn ten out of the seventeen matches recorded between the two sides.
Bournemouth vs Everton Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
We expect a total of over 1.5 goals to be scored in this game. Four out of the last five matches played between these two teams have seen over two goals scored, and a similar result could be expected here as well. Bournemouth are in good scoring form, and the likes of Evanilson, Semenyo and Brooks will be hard to pin down. It will be exciting to see the tactics Everton devise to stop this trio from scoring.
