Mid-placed Bournemouth travel to Goodison Park to face struggling Everton in a round 38 game, which kicks-off this coming Sunday. The home side need a win to ease their trouble at the wrong end of the table.

Everton know the score on Sunday. A win will see them remain in the Premier League. A draw is not enough should Leicester beat West Ham at the King Power Stadium. Bournemouth have nothing at stake as their place in the Premier League is secured.

Everton scored 13 goals, conceded 19 and fought their way to one clean sheet in their previous ten matches.

Bournemouth are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 16 goals, and while Bournemouth claimed two clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.6 goals per match.

Bournemouth got the better of Everton in their most recent meetings, as they first won 3-0, then 3-1.

Everton vs Bournemouth Prediction

Everton Form

Everton added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat Brighton 1-5. They were then defeated 0-3 against Manchester City, before drawing 1-1 against Wolverhampton. Everton claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored four and conceded 13 goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Everton, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth were unable to pick up a single point in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 1-3 by Chelsea. Next up, Crystal Palace won 2-0, before losing 0-1 against Manchester United. Bournemouth won three of a possible six away matches in the Premier League, as well as playing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored seven while also conceding ten times.

We are opting for a draw, as Everton have settled for a point after 90 minutes in several recent matches. Bournemouth could be satisfied with taking a point back home.

Everton won 13 points from their last ten encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won three, scored 11 and let in 13 goals. Bournemouth recorded six wins from their last 11 games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected 19 points. They scored 18 goals while conceding 16.
