Bournemouth vs Everton Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Vitality Stadium will continue the first game of the Premier League new year as European spot-chasing Bournemouth will welcome relegation-battling Everton on Saturday. Can the Cherries continue their incredible home form, or will the Toffees prove their resilience?
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth is enjoying an impressive run of form under former Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola, with the Cherries currently seeking a European spot this season. Andoni Iraola’s men extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a last-gasp 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage Stadium, with the Cherries having to come from a goal behind twice. Currently, the Cherries sit seventh in the league standings with 30 points, a point behind Manchester City and two points behind the top-five spot.
Andoni Iraola’s men will draw confidence from their three-match unbeaten home record, having won once and drawn twice. The Cherries have played two consecutive draws in their recent games against West Ham and Crystal Palace at the Vitality. However, the last meeting between Bournemouth and Everton at Goodison Park this season in the first half of the Premier League campaign saw the Cherries come back from two goals down to claim an entertaining 3-2 victory thanks to three late strikes from Semenyo, Cook, and Sinisterra.
Everton Preview & Form
Everton, despite showing top-notch resilience against the title contender, finally saw their four-match unbeaten run ruined in their last game in December. The result has now put huge pressure on Sean Dyche to turn things around as they sit in a precarious position. Sean Dyche’s men played remarkable consecutive draws against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City but fell to a 2-0 loss at home to high-flying Nottingham Forest. The Toffees issue this season has been finding the back of the net, with their frontline having scored the lowest tally in the Premier League. Currently, Sean Dyche’s men sit 16th in the league standings with 17 points, two points behind the relegation zone.
Sean Dyche’s men have struggled with their road games this season, as they are currently winless in the last five games while securing only one victory in the first-round away games in the Premier League. The last away outing saw the Toffees hold the defending champions, Manchester City, to a remarkable 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium. Everton’s attacking frontline has been toothless in finding the back of the net in their recent away games, having only managed to score just one goal in the last five games.
