Everton vs Bournemouth Prediction 07.10.2023

• Competition: England &— Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 7th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
• Venue: Goodison Park (Liverpool)

This Saturday, Everton will be seeking their first home victory of the season as they welcome winless Bournemouth to Goodison Park in the eighth gameweek of the Premier League.

Everton, once a formidable force that troubled the top clubs in the Premier League, now appears as a mere shadow of its former self. Unfortunately, the team has endured challenging times in recent years, narrowly escaping relegation in the previous two seasons. Regrettably, there are no signs of this crisis abating soon, as the start of the season suggests that Everton could find themselves once again embroiled in the fight for survival in the Premier League. With just one victory and a mere four points to their name, Sean Dyche’s side currently languishes in a disheartening 16th position, sharing equal points with Burnley, the first team below the safety line.

Bournemouth managed to secure their top-tier status last season, despite losing all four of their last games. They finished with a comfortable five-point lead above the relegation zone. However, this season, they have started off in a similar fashion to the previous one. It is clear that Andoni Iraola’s team has little reason to be optimistic, and if they do not improve, they will inevitably find themselves fighting for survival. Currently, they sit second from the bottom with only three points from their first seven fixtures.

Everton vs Bournemouth Betting Tips: Everton to Win

Despite their recent successes against Brentford and Aston Villa, the Merseyside team experienced a surprising and disheartening loss at home to Luton, who had not won a game since then. The scoreline of 1-2 left Goodison Park fans in shock and disappointment, as their team failed to secure a victory for the fourth consecutive home game. This puts them on the brink of joining a small group of Premier League teams who have lost their first five home games.

However, we are confident that Sean Dyche’s team will not allow themselves to be defeated by a team that is still searching for their first win of the current season. It is well-known that Everton has struggled at home, managing only one win in their last nine league games. However, it is important to mention that this lone victory came against Bournemouth (1-0), which was a crucial result in their successful fight against relegation on the final day of the previous season. Everton has a great opportunity to make their fans happy for the first time this season in Saturday’s match. The outlook seems promising, especially considering that their opponent, Bournemouth, has gone through 11 consecutive games without a victory (with three draws and eight losses). Additionally, considering that the Toffees have emerged victorious in five of their last six meetings against the Cherries at Goodison Park, it is reasonable to favor the home team.
