Everton and Bournemouth are set to face off in what looks like a very even contest. Looking at recent form, Everton have struggled for consistency, with only one win in their last five matches, along with two draws and two losses. Their games have been fairly open, with both teams scoring in several of those outings. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have also been inconsistent but have managed to avoid defeat in four of their last five matches, with three draws and one win. They have been hard to beat, but have also needed late goals to secure results.

When these two sides have met in the past, the matches have often been tight and low-scoring. In their last eight meetings, five of them have seen fewer than two goals total, with Bournemouth winning four of those encounters. Everton have only managed to beat Bournemouth once in their last eight clashes. Given the recent form of both teams and their head-to-head history, this match looks likely to be a close, low-scoring affair. Bournemouth's slight edge in recent meetings and Everton's struggles at home suggest the away side might just edge it.
