Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in Everton’s last seven games, with a total of just eight goals scored in this period.
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Tottenham’s last six in all competitions.
• Everton have lost their last two league games by a 1-0 scoreline.

Moyes’ return to Everton doesn’t go to plan

David Moyes’ return to Goodison Park saw more of the same from Everton as they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa, and a similar result could be on the cards against a struggling Tottenham on Sunday.

The Toffees are winless in six Premier League games, and their miserably low-scoring affairs continue to be a bane on the existence of any neutral unfortunate enough to tune into one of their games.

They have the second-worst attacking record in the division, but only the top four have conceded fewer goals than them, with their 20 outings so far yielding just 2.05 goals per game on average.

Spurs may struggle to make an impact

A similarly dull game could be in the offing on Sunday, despite the presence of the second-highest scorers in the league.

Tottenham’s scoring exploits earlier in the season are doing a lot of heavy lifting in that regard, though. Their last six competitive matches have seen them score just five goals in regulation time, while a five-match winless run in the league leaves Ange Postecoglou fighting for his job.

Goals in short supply at Goodison Park

Three of Spurs’ last six competitive matches have featured winners in the under 2.5 goals market, while Everton have seen the same in each of their last seven in all competitions. A total of just eight goals have been scored in these seven games, so backing the unders at odds against looks excellent value.

This represents a fantastic opportunity for Postecoglou to get back to winning ways, and another 1-0 loss for Everton looks a good bet. They have failed to score in five of their last seven games and their last two Premier League matches have ended in 1-0 defeats, while Spurs beat Liverpool by the same scoreline in the EFL Cup last week.
