Bournemouth are coming into this match in poor form. They have lost their opening game of the new season and ended the last one with two draws and a loss, so they are struggling to find wins. On the other hand, Everton also lost their first game, but they finished the previous season strongly with a win and two draws in their last three matches, which shows they are in better shape overall.

Historically, these two teams have played out some very tight and exciting games. Their last three meetings have all been decided by a single goal, with two of them being away wins and one a home win, so both sides have enjoyed beating each other. Given that Everton are in better recent form and Bournemouth are struggling, this looks like a close match, but Everton are the more likely side to take something from the game.
