Everton vs West Brom Prediction & Betting tips
At Goodison Park, Everton receives West Bromwich Albion this weekend. At Everton they have lost the last four matches and so The Toffees are looking for a good result. Against the number nineteen of the Premier League there seems to be some possible for the team of Sam Allardyce.
Everton :
Sam Allardyce took over from Ronald Koeman a few months ago and Allardyce started well with Everton, but the results have been disappointing at The Toffees in recent weeks. The Liverpool club lost the last four games and The Toffees have been waiting five league matches for a victory in the Premier League. Although the team of Allardyce is still in ninth place in the Premier League with 27 points from 23 games, Watford is only one point behind The Toffees and Leicester City is increasingly on Everton.
Allardyce saw that his team did not win the last four games, but in those four games The Toffees also played against Bournemouth, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Of Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham you can lose as Everton, and that happened. Last weekend, The Toffees went 4-0 away at Tottenham and Everton had nothing to bring in at Wembley. The Toffees were not even able to shoot between the poles at Tottenham and that was already the fourth league game of Everton this season in which The Toffees did not manage to achieve a decent goal.
Also, Allardyce is not a miracle doctor the last matches on the bank at Everton. The already 63-year-old Englishman had ten points in his first four games with Everton and seemed to have made it to the top, but in the last five games The Toffees only managed to get two points. By attracting Cenk Tosun, Everton hopes to give the goals production a boost, but The Toffees will need more reinforcements to increase the club’s goal production. Against Tottenham it turned out that Tosun has to get used to the pace of the Premier League and at Everton they can not expect that Shadow Wayne Rooney will put a few in the basket every week.
West Brom:
West Bromwich Albion is a bit more oppressive than Everton, but the last matches have caught the baggies. West Bromwich lost only one of the last five games and managed to win two of those five. Still, the West Bromwich team is still under the relegation streak, as The Baggies have nineteen points and are two points behind in the safe seventeenth place. All in all, Alan Pardew and his team will have to make every effort to be active in the Premier League next season, but West Bromwich’s last game offers perspective for The Baggies.
West Bromwich played last weekend against PhD student Brighton & Hove Albion and The Baggies were able to win again in the Premier League for the first time since 19 August. Pardew saw his team win Brighton 2-0 by headers by Jonathan Evans and Craig Dawson, who flew into the net, ending West Series with a series of twenty league games without victory. It was the first victory of Pardew as manager of The Baggies and it is also striking that all four goals that WBA under Pardew made on The Hawthorns came about from a standard situation.
West Bromwich Albion booked last season’s third league victory this season and it is unbelievable for West Brom fans that they have to wait twenty more games for a victory of their team in the Premier League. While visiting Everton, there seem to be opportunities for The Baggies, but after the game against Everton, Liverpool-out (FA Cup) and Manchester City-out (Premier League) again have two difficult matches for Pardew and his men . Incidentally, on behalf of West Bromwich, Jay Rodriguez was involved in an exchange with Brighton defender GaĆ«tan Bong last weekend, and the action of Rodriguez is under close scrutiny by the English Football Association, so it remains to be seen whether Rodriguez can play on Goodison Park.
