The Matchday 14 clash in the Premier League between Bournemouth and Everton will take place on December 2 at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth vs. Everton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bournemouth
Andoni Iraola's side has been unable to win in their last four matches, losing three and drawing one. In all these games, at least four goals were scored, but this hasn't helped Bournemouth, as they have dropped from the Champions League zone to the middle of the table. They had a chance to win in the last round but lost 2-3 away to Sunderland. Interestingly, the team was leading 2-0 by the 15th minute but couldn't maintain the advantage. On average, their matches see 3.4 goals, the highest in the league.
- The team has not lost in 9 of their last 12 Premier League matches (5 wins, 4 draws).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of Bournemouth's last 8 league games.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Bournemouth's last 8 Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Bournemouth (4-3-3)
Djorde Petrovic – Bafode Diakite, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Adam Smith – Tyler Adams, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier – Amine Adli, Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson.
Forward Ben Doak and midfielder Ryan Christie are out due to injury. Midfielders David Brooks and Lewis Cook, as well as defender Marcos Senesi, are suspended.
Everton
In their last match, Everton suffered a surprising heavy defeat at home to Newcastle, who had not won away in the Premier League before (1-4). David Moyes' side completely collapsed in the first half, conceding three unanswered goals. Before this, the team was unbeaten in three consecutive league matches (2 wins, 1 draw). This was only the second time in the tournament that Everton conceded more than two goals. They currently sit 14th in the table, with a comfortable 7-point cushion from the relegation zone.
- The team has not won in 7 of their last 10 Premier League matches (3 draws, 4 losses).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 7 of Everton's last 9 league games.
- Everton has conceded no more than 1 goal in 15 of their last 18 away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Everton (4-2-3-1)
Jordan Pickford – Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Jake O'Brien, Vitaliy Mykolenko – Jack Grealish, Tim Iroegbunam – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye – Thierno Barry.
Defenders Jarred Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson are out due to injury. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye is suspended for two more matches.

Bournemouth vs. Everton: Match Prediction
Recently, Andoni Iraola's side was competing for a Champions League spot, but after four unsuccessful matches, they find themselves mid-table. However, in the first half of the season, the standings are so tight that winning 2-3 games could see them back in the top four. I believe Bournemouth can score two or three goals in this match, as they have not lost at home in this Premier League campaign and consistently find the net on their turf.
The visitors won't be left without goals either. Everton also has a good chance to compete for European positions this season, trailing their opponent by just one point. Everton has scored in 4 of their last 5 away Premier League matches. Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 10 of the last 13 head-to-head encounters in the Premier League. I also note that Everton has a chance to score several goals, as the hosts will be weakened by the suspension of three players.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
