Everton vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
Everton are still in the extended top flight in the Premier League and are having a good season overall. The Toffees were able to end their short negative streak with a win last matchday and want to enter international business via the league. Opponent Southampton is more in the lower part of the table and is going through a difficult phase.
But quality is undoubtedly present with the guests. The bookmakers see it that way too, because before the game Everton against Southampton the odds show that Everton is the favorite, but this is not very clear. Accordingly, a game can be expected that will certainly hold tension.
Everton :
A look at the Premier League table shows that Everton are in a good seventh place. Last weekend, after three games without a win, there was a very important win. The Toffees won the city derby against Liverpool FC at Anfield Road 2-0. This victory, in which efficiency was the key to success, should give the team a boost.
This is not unimportant because the competition never sleeps. West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham are all more or less in the area where Everton is. The hosts of coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose contract could be extended soon, now want to set an example.
Before the match between Everton and Southampton, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the hosts are in the role of favorites. In order to live up to this role, the Toffees have to be consistent again, because the last three home games could not be won.
Efficiency is likely to be an important factor. Everton is the third best chance conversion team in the league. In addition, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the top scorer, is ready to go again. He was briefly on the pitch against Liverpool.
Southampton:
Things are not going very well at Southampton FC at the moment. The team of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl has to complain about injuries, in addition to a weak phase in the league. The 3-0 win at Leeds United during the week underpinned where problems exist everywhere. The Saints have only won one of the last eight games in the league, losing six of them.
That also meant a crash in the table. The relegation zone is getting closer, even the momentum from the 1-1 draw against Chelsea did not last long. A big problem is that the offensive isn’t working well right now. Southampton only scored more than one goal once in 2021, which is why our value tip before the game Everton against Southampton is that not both clubs will score. A game with many goals is not to be expected.
In addition to the offensive, the defensive is also a problem. The 27 goals conceded in away games are of course a significant factor, there were a total of 43 goals in the Premier League. That is the second worst value, only West Bromwich Albion is defensively more vulnerable than the Hasenhüttl-Elf.
In addition, the personnel problems still prevail, including Walcott, Walker-Peters and Diallo still have to pass. These omens ensure that before the Everton v Southampton game, our tip is that the Toffees will take a home win.
After all, there will be a few games against competitors from the lower part of the table in the next few weeks. With Sheffield, Brighton, Burnley and West Brom, the Saints have some feasible opponents waiting for them.
