Everton vs AFC Bournemouth Predictions

• Everton have won five of their last six home league games without conceding.
• Bournemouth are winless in three competitive games this season.
• The Cherries have conceded exactly once in all three of these outings.

Toffees target first points of the campaign

Everton clinched their first win of the season in the EFL Cup in midweek and will hope to boost morale further when Bournemouth pay Goodison Park a visit on Saturday.

The Toffees have endured a tough start to the Premier League campaign, suffering heavy defeats to Spurs and Brighton, but they should have a better time of things against a Cherries outfit that are also struggling to get going.

Cherries struggling to find their feet

Bournemouth lost out to West Ham in their midweek EFL Cup game and have drawn both their Premier League matches 1-1 so far, while their record on the road leaves a lot to be desired.

They have won one, drawn one, and lost five of their last seven competitive away fixtures, scoring just five goals and conceding 12 at the other end. Iraola is now tasked with reversing these fortunes without the departed Dominic Solanke.

Hosts can claim crucial three points

Everton may have started the season poorly, but their home record from the end of last season will still be fairly fresh in their mind and, after winning their final five home league games last term, they can be backed to take all three points here.

Dyche’s men did not concede a single goal in that five-game winning streak and won by a 1-0 scoreline three times, while Bournemouth have conceded exactly once in all three competitive games this season, so a 1-0 correct score prediction also appeals.
