Everton – Bournemouth : Preview & Prediction
Head to Goodison Park for the “dunces” match on Matchday 8 of the Premier League. Sitting in the relegation zone with just four points to their name, Bournemouth will be looking to lift their spirits with a win at Everton, who are knocking on the door of the bottom three. As you’ll have gathered, victory is imperative for both sides, given the complicated situation in which they find themselves. And yet, many thought things were looking much better for the Sean Dyche-coached side after back-to-back wins over Brentford and Aston Villa in the EFL Cup. However, the Toffees fell back into their old ways at home, losing 2-1 to minnows Luton Town. Quite simply, if the Mersey club continues to disappoint in games where success is expected, then the next few months are likely to be complicated for supporters.
Admittedly, the home side are favourites to come away with 3 points, but the Cherries travel to the North of England with a high level of confidence. But why? Because Andoni Iraola’s men are well aware of Liverpool’s difficult home record. Even if their performances have been poor since the start of the season, the red-and-blacks must believe in their chances of victory at the end of normal time, so much so Everton in front of their home fans. To do so, they’ll have to put in a performance on a par with the one they put in against the Gunners, or risk a similar outcome.
