Everton – Southampton PREDICTION (09.07.2020)

Everton-Southampton

Everton – Southampton SOCCER PICKS

Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton receives a visit from Southampton at Goodison Park on Thursday evening. Both teams will be in the middle of the Premier League and play five games before the end for nothing.

Everton:

Until last Monday they were allowed to dream of European football at Everton. That dream has passed since Monday. The Toffees lost 1-0 at the beginning of this week at Tottenham Hotspur and can now put European football out of their minds. Everton is trailing about ten points behind the teams that are still competing for Europa League football and The Toffees will never close that gap in the last five games of the season.

It is important for Everton to end the season as well as possible. It hasn’t really been the season The Toffees had hoped for before. Marco Silva was fired from Everton on Sinterklaas evening. The Portuguese started the season disappointingly with Everton and when he got fired, The Toffees were relegated. Under Ancelotti, Everton started to play better football and also achieved better results. Still, Everton fans are not happy with the current season. There is even a chance that The Toffees will not even end up in the left row. Either way, it’s a season to quickly forget.

Southampton:

Where they are dissatisfied with this season at Everton, they are moderately satisfied at Southampton. Southampton is well above the relegation mark and The Saints can only be happy with that. Almost everything has been said with that: Southampton has not been able to surprise this season. But at the bottom of the line, manager Ralph Hasenhüttl will be content with the current season. With five games to go, the counter at Southampton is already at 43 points. That is already four more than the entire last season.

Hasenhüttl has won three of his last four games with The Saints. Southampton has had victories over Norwich City (0-3), Watford (1-3) and Manchester City (1-0) in recent weeks. Especially the victory over Manchester City last weekend was striking. Southampton did not play a good game against Manchester City and it was also a miracle in 90 minutes that The Saints took three points. At Southampton, they owed that mainly to goalkeeper Alex McCarthy – the single English international held a world game against The Citizens. Because of the victory over Manchester City, they have the necessary confidence in the game at Everton at Southampton. The last fourteen times that Southampton visited Everton, on the other hand, did not win a single time.
