Everton

As a result, the club’s unbeaten run in the league has extended to five matches, with two wins and three draws. It is also worth noting that the team have conceded more than one goal in just one of their last nine Premier League games. Everton have climbed to eighth place and sit seven points off the top four.

- No more than two goals have been scored in eight of Everton’s last 10 Premier League fixtures.
- At home, the club have gone four straight Premier League games without a win (two draws and two defeats).

Everton vs Bournemouth: Match Prediction
Everton have been unable to produce strong attacking numbers for several years now. The club have consistently struggled to boast standout forwards, but this season the side have rarely left the pitch without finding the net, scoring at least once fairly often. Everton head into the upcoming fixture on a seven-match scoring run in the Premier League. At the same time, the team have conceded in five of their last six league games.
In addition, Everton have been on the scoresheet in six of their last seven home Premier League matches. Meanwhile, the visitors’ fixtures have been the most entertaining in the league. Bournemouth have scored in each of their last 10 Premier League matches, but they have also conceded in nine of their last 10 league games. Most interestingly, Andoni Iraola’s club have failed to score in just two of their previous 27 away Premier League fixtures.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
