Stat Attack
- Bournemouth have won six of their last eight league meetings against Everton (W6, L2).
- Everton are winless in their last eight league visits to Bournemouth (D2, L6).
- Bournemouth have kept clean sheets in two of their last three home games against Everton (W3), except for a 2-1 win in March 2024.
- Andoni Iraola’s Cherries are looking to avoid going five league games without a win for the first time since March – April 2025.
- Six of Everton’s 14 league goals this season so far were scored away from home.
Prediction
Having found themselves 2-0 up at Sunderland after 15 minutes, Bournemouth should of really used their experience to control the game defensively yet they somehow failed to maintain their intensity and allowed the Black Cats to complete their comeback.
Everton meanwhile were just an uncharacteristic defensive disaster from the get-go with far too many sloppy mistakes and poor goalkeeping from Jordan Pickford, so a huge improvement is imperative if they want to get back to winning ways.
Bournemouth however has been bit of a bogey club for them and if the Cherries start like they did at Sunderland but show more control, I fancy them to take the win.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Everton
Result: Bournemouth 0-1 Everton
