It’s a Bournemouth vs Everton prediction, team news, lineups, and fixtures preview next on the agenda for Tom Winch here at bettingexpert as we tackle the Saturday afternoon Premier League game at Vitality Stadium.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Everton
The home side will be full of confidence after their incredible comeback here against Luton. They’re scoring plenty of goals. Everton’s winless run is a lengthy one. Dyche’s men are struggling for goals. It’s an intriguing encounter between two sides in the bottom half of the table.
England, Premier League, Saturday, March 30th, 15:00 (UK)
Bournemouth have found the back of the net on 41 occasions this season. Dominic Solanke has bagged 15 of those. The Englishman is lethal inside the box. Only one of his 14 strikes has arrived from a significant distance.
There’s no doubting Solanke’s quality. The 26-year-old is enduring a fantastic Premier League campaign. Erling Haaland and Ollie Watkins are the only players to have scored more than the former Liverpool man. Solanke will relish the chance of finding the back of the net against a struggling Everton.
Dominic Solanke is averaging 0.54 goals per 90 this season. His xG isn’t too far away. That’s sitting at 0.58. The forward averages 3.10 shots per 90, with 1.12 arriving on target.
I struggle to see how Everton shut out their opposition. Sean Dyche’s men have managed just four clean sheets on their travels this term. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous six.
I’m sure that Solanke will receive chances here. He’s having a super season on the South Coast. He has an outside chance of winning the Golden Boot. It’s a selection worth considering.
Finding the back of the net is Everton’s biggest problem. Sean Dyche’s men have scored 29 goals across 28 Premier League matches in 23/24. Sheffield United are the only side with a smaller number. Six home sides from 14 have prevented the Toffees from scoring this term.
Bournemouth had a tough start under Iraola. The hosts failed to win their opening five Premier League matches at this venue. The Cherries have lost just twice in their previous nine. Liverpool and Manchester City are the only sides to have claimed maximum points in that run.
At this moment in time, I do believe that the hosts are the stronger outfit. They’ve found the back of the net in 18 of their 20 previous Premier League encounters.
Everton are struggling for results. They haven’t won a Premier League match since December 16th. Since that victory, Dyche’s men have a 0-5-6 WDL record. Everton have scored just seven goals in that time. It’s an uninspiring run.
I find it tricky to get the visitors onside in this encounter. Confidence isn’t exactly high. Beto and DCL have a combined five goals this term. They aren’t prolific. I expect the Cherries to edge the contest.
There are plenty of attractive angles in this encounter. I’m combining three angles for my final selection.
Let’s start with Antoine Semenyo. The Ghanaian international has been impressive in recent weeks. I expect the 24-year-old to start again after his brace against Luton turned the game on its head in that emphatic comeback.
Semenyo loves a shot. He’s averaging a whopping 3.33 shots per 90 in the Premier League. An impressive 1.51 have arrived on target. Our man has registered a shot on target in five of his previous seven starts in 2024.
Abdoulaye Doucoure is vital for Everton. The man from Mali has scored six times this season. That’s three more than any other player. The midfielder has played primarily as a CAM this season.
The 31-year-old has featured 22 times this term, starting on every occasion. Everton’s key man has recorded a shot in 18 separate matches. It’s an impressive stat, and I expect him to improve at the Vitality Stadium.
The foul selection has cashed in 17 of AD’s 22 outings. That includes 12 of the previous 13 encounters. With Bournemouth’s impressive attack, expect Doucoure to be amongst the action. Both of these selections won in the reverse fixture.
Bournemouth vs Everton Prediction odds via bet365 as at 14:00, March 25th, 2024. Odds may now differ.
Bournemouth have a relatively healthy camo. They have several defenders absent due to injury.
Max Aarons and Lloyd Kelly have remained sidelined since January and February. The pair have a chance of making a return in this encounter. Marcos Senesi picked up an injury in their win at Burnley. The Argentinian won’t feature on Saturday.
Sean Dyche will have a fully fit squad to choose from. Arnaut Danjuma and Gueye haven’t featured for several weeks but have a slight possibility of making the squad.
Everton need to score more goals. It’s unlikely that Beto and DCL will play together.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Mepham, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Sinisterra; Solanke
Everton possible starting lineup: Pickford, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner, Onana, Harrison, McNeil, Doucoure; Beto
