Everton vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-10-25 16:30.
[p]After a slow start to the campaign which saw Everton lose their first four Premier League matches, theyâve now found some form with no defeat in their most recent four games in this competition (W2, D2). The most recent result in that run was a solid 2-0 win away at Ipswich Town, handing the Toffees the chance to go five straight league games unbeaten for just the second time under manager Sean Dyche. [/p]
[p]Itâs no coincidence that the Toffeesâ uptick coincided with entering the month of October. Since the start of the start of the 2022/23 season, Everton have averaged 1.55 points in this month compared to an average of just 0.75 across both August and September. Clean sheets in six of their last seven games in October will also boost belief amongst the home faithful, especially having watched their side concede just two goals across the past four rounds – the joint-best defensive record along with rivals Liverpool during that time. [/p]
[p]Although Everton are hitting form, that shouldnât discourage a Fulham side who have enjoyed their trips to Goodison Park of late. They have the chance to sign off in their final-ever league visit to the venue with a fourth successive H2H Premier League away win, having remarkably not won in any of their first 27 league visits to the âGrand Old Ladyâ. [/p]
[p]Fulham are heading north on the back of two straight losses, although they came up against Champions League outfits Manchester City (3-2) and Aston Villa (3-1), and their overall record thus far (W3, D2, L3) still has them heading into the weekend in a respectable mid-table position. A win here would taste especially sweet for manager Marco Silva who bids to maintain an unbeaten record against his former club (W3, D2) since being sacked in December 2019. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: In-form Everton defender Ashley Young, who has two assists in his past four appearances, needs one more goal to hit 50 in the Premier League, and his first came against Fulham back in 2006. Fulham forward RaĂșl JimĂ©nez has five goals in his last six starts for club and country, with all five opening the scoring for his side. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: There has not been a league H2H draw at this venue since 1959! [/p]
