Everton vs Fulham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th August 2023

Everton kept themselves free of relegation, and that is the best, you could say about last season in the Premier League for the home side. From a bottom six finish they will be hoping to improve as they open another campaign when welcoming Fulham on Saturday.

Everton finished last season as number 17 on 36 points in the Premier League. At Goodison Park, they welcome Fulham, who ended up last season as number 10 on 52 points.

Everton only average a modest 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 12 goals. They also conceded 17 for an average of 1.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring twice.

When it comes to goal-scoring Fulham are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded 14 goals for an average of 1.4 a game, achieving a clean sheet in one of these matches.

The last time the pair played each other Fulham came away as 1-3 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Saturday.

Everton vs Fulham Prediction

Everton Form

Everton have four points to show from their last three matches, as they lost 0-3 against Manchester City, before drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton. They won their most recent game 1-0 against Bournemouth. Everton managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Premier League. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored five and conceded 11 goals.

Everton’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Premier League.

Fulham Form

In their previous three matches, Fulham won 0-2 against Southampton, drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace before losing 2-1 against Manchester United. Fulham claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and seven scored.

Fulham seem a little too thin in quality to stay in this division, and they will most likely be embroiled in a battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League for much of the season.

Does Everton have enough in the tank to down Fulham on Saturday? We are not as sure as odds suggest, but considering aspects like form, strength in squad and match history, we believe they'll come through in the end.
