Bournemouth vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-01-03 15:00.
[p]Bournemouth’s impressive run of form continued last time out as they twice came from behind to rescue a point away to Fulham (2-2). The result extended their Premier League unbeaten run to seven matches (W4, D3), while Dango Ouattara’s 89th minute equaliser in that clash was the Cherries’ tenth league goal scored beyond the 85th minute this season – at least three more than any other side ahead of the round. [/p]
[p]This reputation for finishing games with a bang was forged most notably in the last H2H with opponents Everton, as Bournemouth scored three goals in that period to secure a remarkable 3-2 comeback win. That gives them a psychological edge here, as does winning each of the past four home H2Hs, while any extension to that record could lift Andoni Iraola’s men into the top-five should results elsewhere go their way.[/p]
[p]Everton were humbled by Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with the 2-0 home defeat deflating the positivity gained from a run of one defeat in their seven games prior (W1, D5). The high number of draws within that run means the sequence can be flipped to just one win in ten league matches for the Toffees (D6, L3), who are left looking over their shoulder as the gap to the relegation zone was reduced to just two points at the end of the last round.

[p]Another blank against Forest again put a spotlight on Everton’s misfiring attack which has been a problem under Sean Dyche. The Toffees finished 2024 having scored just 31 league goals, the fewest of any ever-present club in the league across this calendar year!  And with four blanks in their past five games on the road, there’s no guarantee they’ll make a better start in this department for 2025. [/p]
[p]Key battle: Ouattara’s late goal against Fulham was his fourth direct goal contribution across his past five Bournemouth matches (G2, A2), and each arrived in the second half. Everton veteran Ashley Young will be one player tasked with keeping him quiet, but it’s worth noting he’s picked up a yellow card in four of his past seven appearances. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bournemouth’s seven games without a home Premier League loss against Everton is their best such record against any side in the competition. [/p]
