Everton vs AFC Bournemouth Prediction - English Premier League Picks 8/31/24

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Everton and AFC Bournemouth. 

Everton Betting Preview

Everton is struggling heading into this game at least in the Premier League games. In the first game against Brighton, they lost 3-0, and in the last game against Tottenham Hotspur, they lost 4-0. They did play a midweek EFL Cup game against Doncaster and they ended up winning 3-0. All three goals were scored after the 53rd minute. Everton had 64 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Everton is dealing with some major injury issues, espeically on defense, and that has to be a major concern right now. Nathan Patterson and Jarrad Branthwaite are both hurt and they are expected to be out until at least after the international break. 

AFC Bournemouth Betting Preview

AFC Bournemouth has played to back-to-back draws in the EPL. In the first game they played to a draw against Nottingham Forest and in the last against Newcastle they played to a 1-1 draw. In the last game against West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth failed to score and they ended up losing by a draw. AFC Bournemouth had 52 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is on loan to AFC Bournemouth and it’s expected that he’s going to start here. In this game I would expect AFC Bournemouth is going to push the numbers forward and really try to put the pressure on Everton. 

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth Prediction

Everton’s defense is a problem and it’s going to be awful again here. AFC Bournemouth’s offense might not run up the score but they are going to find a way to get the ball past the Everton defense. This is game that might end 1-0, but Everton isn’t going to have many quality scoring chances, and that is going to be the difference here. This game is going to be a comfortable victory by AFC Bournemouth. Back AFC Bournemouth on the money line.
