Everton vs Bournemouth tips and predictions: Cherries winless woes to continue at Goodison Park

- 6 October 2023
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage sees Bournemouth's trip to Goodison Park as the perfect opportunity for Everton to bag a rare home win.
Everton can’t score goals at home. They’ve only scored 11 goals in their last 17 home Premier League games and they’ve lost all four Premier League home games this season.
Bournemouth’s record is not great. I’m going to go for Sean Dyche’s side to finally get a Premier League win at home this season. I’m going 2-0 to Everton.
Robbie’s Tip: Everton 2-0 Bournemouth
Everton vs Bournemouth team news
Seamus Coleman, Dele Alli and Andre Gomes are out for the home side.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s return to fitness has allowed Sean Dyche to take a more positive approach and play him alongside Beto in a front two.
Tyler Adams has suffered another setback that will keep him out of action until late November, so Joe Rothwell and Lewis Cook will continue in deep midfield.
Ryan Fredericks, Lloyd Kelly, Chris Mepham, Alex Scott and Emiliano Marcondes are also out, but new signing Luis Sinisterra could be handed a full league debut.
Key stats
- Eight of Everton’s last 10 home wins have come by a single goal to nil.
- Everton’s only win in nine at Goodison Park was a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.
- Bournemouth are unbeaten in four of five meetings against Everton.
- 10 of 14 meetings have had over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in nine.
Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
It's not an easy decision to back either of these teams at the moment. Everton are winless at home, losing all four, and Bournemouth are winless on their travels, winning once.
The Toffees have found the net just once at Goodison Park and visitors Bournemouth have scored five in seven this season. Fancy a 0-0 draw, anyone?
You wouldn't totally write it off, but this could also be seen as the perfect opportunity for Everton. The Cherries have conceded at least two goals in five of six.
Andoni Iraola's side have found the net 21 times in 22 away games since the start of last season and despite lofty expectations, they've arguably regressed this season.
It's worth noting that eight of Everton's last 10 wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet, as have four of their last five losses.
If you can't find it within you to trust Sean Dyche's side, then under 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no seem like reasonable bets.
