Everton vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
With Everton against Chelsea there is a duel in which it is usually more successful for the home side. Only one of the last ten matches ended with an away win. The Blues achieved this three years ago in Goodison Park. There are currently some indications that the Londoners will now win again.
The Lampard squad is in good shape and ranks third in the Premier League table. The Toffees got off to a very good start to the season, but have since declined against the Reds in the Merseyside derby.
Everton :
The mentioned break-in of Everton after the draw in the derby against Liverpool had undoubtedly a personal background. In the match, the Brazilian Richarlison picked up a more than deserved red card after a tough foul on Thiago. His absence resulted in a persistent period of weakness. Everton lost three times in a row without the attacker.
No new pattern: Since the 23-year-old joined Everton in 2018, Everton has never won the games without him. When he returned on the third to last game day, he was back on the road to success with a three-point against Fulham.
However, the win was not a sustainable upswing and Richarlison has not scored since his comeback. Then they went bust in their home game against Leeds and last weekend it was only enough to draw at Burnley.
One point against the weak Clarets is of course not a satisfactory result for the demands of the Ancelotti troops. Above all, the offensive is out of step. Dominic Calvert-Lewin alone is still a reliable goal scorer. With eleven goals, the 23-year-old even leads the scorers’ rankings in the Premier League.
Only in three of the eleven league games was he denied a hit. On top of that, he has already delivered a hat trick in the league and in the EFL Cup! In view of this great yield, the odds for his next goal celebration are interesting on top, despite the strong away defense in the match between Everton and Chelsea.
Chelsea :
The Blues now have 13 different goalscorers in the course of the season! A number that no team from the top floor of British football can beat. The enormously high number shows how difficult it is for the opponent to anticipate the attacking game of the Londoners in his match plan.
A real plus for Chelsea and an explanation why the Reds alone have scored more goals in the league. In contrast to the current situation at the champions, Chelsea now also have a stable defense. Only the league leaders Tottenham conceded fewer goals!
A positive factor in this context was the goalkeeper change. Since the Senegalese Mendy was in the box, the number of goals conceded has fallen significantly. Five of the eleven league games were played with a clean sheet – a joint top score with the Spurs in a league-wide comparison!
For comparison: Everton has so far played a lean league game without conceding a goal. The oldie Olivier Giroud is also in a good mood when attacking. The Frenchman actually has no future with the Blues, who overhauled their offensive in the summer with players like Werner or Ziyech, but the world champion cannot be sidelined that easily.
Last week he contributed all the goals in the 4-0 win in Seville in the Champions League and in the following game against Leeds he scored his first goal of the current Premier League season.
Add to that his recent double in the Equipe Tricolore jersey and you can see that Giroud has scored in four of his last seven missions! In the upcoming match, the striker should also be rested, as he only played for ten minutes at the end of the game in the premier class in the 1-1 draw against Krasnodar last Tuesday evening.
Furthermore, the German Kai Havertz Chelsea is increasingly available again after his positive infection test and severe illness. The 21-year-old talent is getting more and more working hours from Lampard and should soon be physically back to 100 percent.
