Everton vs Southampton Betting Tips

In the Everton vs Southampton betting tips, the spotlight falls on the recent form of both sides. Everton have struggled in front of goal, averaging just 0.89 goals per game this season and only one win in their last ten outings. Despite Beto’s impressive home form with five goals in eight matches, the Toffees have been unable to convert chances into victories. On the other hand, Southampton’s defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 37 away goals, with just one clean sheet. The ‘Both Teams to Score’ market holds value, given Everton’s tendency to score at home and Southampton’s recent goal-scoring form on the road.

Everton vs Southampton Prediction

The Everton v Southampton prediction suggests a closely contested affair at Goodison Park. Everton have been inconsistent under David Moyes, winning just five times in his tenure, and they are currently on a three-match winless streak. Southampton, already relegated, may play with more freedom, but their dismal away record of 14 losses from 18 matches paints a bleak picture. A draw appears a plausible outcome, with both teams likely to find the net.

Match Prediction:
Draw. Bet with bet365.
