Bournemouth vs Everton prediction and betting tips on January 4, 2025
Game Prediction
Bournemouth and Everton will play against each other in the 20th round of the English Premier League on January 4, 2025. The hosts are probably having the best season in history, seriously claiming the European competition, but the guests can’t relax yet – the relegation zone is not far away.
Our prediction for the match Bournemouth vs Everton
“The Cherries” invited Andoni Iraola in the summer of 2023. And the Basques mentor, having settled in the Foggy Albion, managed to get 48 points and took 12th place. “The Toffees” ended up with 40 points, which was already a good result, after the previous draw, which was devoted to the fight for survival. And the officials also took points from the club twice for violating financial rules.
Now, Sean Dyche’s wards have stumbled at the very beginning. They, after 4 rounds, had no points, and immediately after that were eliminated from the League Cup. Still, then the mentor managed to find a way to improve the game, although there are few victories left. They even held on for a draw in the confrontation with Manchester City, but lost with a 0-2 score to Nottingham Forest, which is in the top flight. Iraola manages to win almost half of the matches, especially towards winter. As a result, the team celebrated Christmas incredibly high for its level, in 5th place! Then there were only draws with Crystal Palace and Fulham.
The hosts are not impressive in terms of statistics for their high position. Scoring 1.53 goals, they concede not much less – 1.21. “The Blues” scored 0.83 goals, while Pickford conceded an average of 1.3 goals per meeting.
