The Matchday 14 Premier League clash between Bournemouth and Everton will take place on December 2 at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth vs. Everton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bournemouth
Andoni Iraola's side has been unable to secure a win in their last four matches, suffering three defeats and drawing once. Each of these games featured at least four goals, but this has not been beneficial for Bournemouth, as they have slipped out of the Champions League zone and now sit mid-table. They had a chance to win in the last round but lost 3-2 away to Sunderland. Notably, they were 2-0 up by the 15th minute but couldn't maintain their lead. It's worth mentioning that the team's matches average 3.4 goals, the highest in the league.
- The club has not lost in 9 of their last 12 Premier League matches (5 wins, 4 draws).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of Bournemouth's last 8 league games.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Bournemouth's last 8 Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Bournemouth (4-3-3)
Djordje Petrovic – Bafode Diakite, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Adam Smith – Tyler Adams, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier – Amine Adli, Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson.
Forward Ben Doak and midfielder Ryan Christie are out due to injury. Midfielders David Brooks and Lewis Cook, along with defender Marcos Senesi, are suspended.
Everton
Liverpool's side played at home in the last round but suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Newcastle, who had not won away in the Premier League before this match. David Moyes' team completely collapsed in the first half, conceding three unanswered goals. Before this, the club was unbeaten in three consecutive league matches (2 wins, 1 draw). This was only the second match in the tournament where Everton conceded more than two goals. The team currently sits 14th in the table, with a comfortable 7-point cushion above the relegation zone.
- The club has not won in 7 of their last 10 Premier League matches (3 draws, 4 losses).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 7 of Everton's last 9 league matches.
- Everton has conceded no more than one goal in 15 of their last 18 away league games.
Predicted lineup for Everton (4-2-3-1)
Jordan Pickford – Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Jake O'Brien, Vitaliy Mykolenko – Jack Grealish, Tim Iroegbunam – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye – Thierno Barry.
Defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson are out due to injury. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye is suspended for two more matches.

Bournemouth vs. Everton: Match Prediction
Not long ago, Andoni Iraola's side was competing for a Champions League spot, but after four unsuccessful matches, they find themselves in the middle of the table. However, in the first half of the season, the league is so tightly packed that two or three wins could see them back in the top four. I believe Bournemouth is capable of scoring two or three goals in this match, as they remain unbeaten at home in this Premier League campaign and consistently find the net on home turf.
The visitors won't be without their own goals. The Liverpool side also has a good chance to fight for European competition spots this season and are only one point behind their opponents. Everton has scored in 4 of their last 5 away Premier League matches. Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 10 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings in the Premier League. I also note that Liverpool has a chance to score several goals as the hosts will be weakened by the suspension of three players.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
