Bournemouth – Everton Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (30.12.2017)

AFC Bournemouth and Everton meet at Vitality Stadium, in a match for the 21st round of the Premier League. Everton won at home (2-1) the last time they met in this edition of the league, on 09-23-2017. The record of direct matches played in this stadium indicates total balance between these two teams, since there was 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 matches. But the last time these two teams met at this stadium was on 24-09-2016, for the Premier League, which ended with AFC Bournemouth’s victory by (1-0). J. Stanislas (23 ‘) scored the only goal of the game. Particular attention is required for the home / away condition, since both teams present significantly different results at home and abroad.

Bournemouth:

The home team is currently in the 18 th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (4-0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against West Ham United, by (3-3). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. For the championship, AFC Bournemouth won 9 points out of 30 possible, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches in the competition, he suffered the first goal 11 times and only got 1 comeback.

The Bournemouth does not think of another result other than victory, to try to alleviate the very complicated situation that lives in the English championship, since it has not won for eight days, having accumulated four defeats in that period. In his last match, he played a very intense game against West Ham, in which he finished more than twice as many times as the opponent, but he was not very efficient defensively, having to look for a draw already in the final part of the game. As it became evident in this last day, with the three goals suffered at home, the defensive system has been largely responsible for the team’s disastrous campaign, so much so that it is now among the six worst in the competition. Playing in his house, he owns the third worst campaign and in that condition he has the third worst defense. It is likely that the coach keeps the team in a 4-4-1-1, with Francis standing out on the right side.

Everton:

The away team is currently in the 9 th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied at home against Chelsea with (0-0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against West Bromwich Albion, by (0-0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 away league matches Everton has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 20 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 12 times and only managed 3 comebacks. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (31’-45 ‘); He suffered 6 of his 17 goals between the minutes (76’-90 ‘).

The Everton enters the field for this game with the possibility of achieving its eighth game in a row without losing in the English championship, but to win it will have to show an offensive performance, different from that presented in the last two days, in which it did not score any goal. In his last game he failed many passes and finished almost three times less than the opponent, so he did not get more than a draw against West Bromwich. Although he has suffered a goal in the last four games, he still has one of the nine worst defenses in the competition. His attack is the third least completed, which may be a reflection of the low average possession of the ball, caused by the inaccuracy in the change of passes. The coach must organize the team in a 4-2-3-1 for this duel, keeping Martina as a reference on the left side.
