Both Everton and Bournemouth go to this game badly in need of a win to further their ambitions of finishing in European places and will each look at it as a winnable game. In terms of confidence heading to the game though, Bournemouth will need some inspiration. They are not only on a bad run, they also got eliminated from the FA Cup in their last game, adding to their woes in the season, while Everton, playing a much weaker opponent, sailed through to the fourth round with a win over Lincoln City. The win over Lincoln was just the second in nine matches for Everton while Bournemouth go into the match winless in their last four games while it is even worse for them away from home as they have picked six straight losses. In the 11 away games they have played this season, across all competitions, Bournemouth have lost eight and they have kept just two clean sheets. In 23 league matches away from home, Bournemouth have managed just five wins. On the other hand, with five wins in 11 home matches in the Premier League, Everton have a slight advantage but the fact that they have no win in the last four may hamper their confidence. The two sides have played to high scoring matches in the recent past, with four of their last five meetings producing over 2.5 goals. They have met eight times in history and Everton have four wins and Bournemouth two.
Le match entre Everton et Bournemouth peut ressembler à un match sans grand intérêt mais il est, en fait, important au vu de la situation des 2 équipes. Everton se doit de se reprendre après un mois de décembre et un Boxing Day très mal négocié. A domicile, l’équipe n’aura pas le droit à l’erreur et au vu de leur effectif flamboyant, la victoire paraît à portée de main face à une équipe de Bournemouth qui n’y arrive pas. Tant dans les résultats que dans le jeu proposé, il manque à cette équipe une envie de bien faire, de tout donner et se déplacer à Everton n’est pas le meilleur des programmes. Il va être très difficile pour eux d’aller chercher les 3 points qui leur permettraient de dépasser leur adversaire du jour et de remonter au classement.
Both of these teams have been in poor form recently - and Everton's results at home in the past few weeks are probably the most worrying thing for boss Marco Silva. The Toffees have only won one of their past eight league games, taking only two points from their past four games at Goodison Park. Bournemouth can be quite inconsistent anyway but they are more down than up at the moment - and have lost nine of their past 12 league matches.
That run of results has seen both teams fall out of the the top half of the table, but they are still capable of a top-10 finish. I do think that Everton, in particular, will come good at some stage because they have some very good players. Silva just has to work out what his best team is - and this might be the fixture they need. The club has had a good week anyway with the news about their ambitious plans for their new stadium, and that might kick them on to produce a good performance in front of their own fans.
Everton does not impress at all this season and we only find it in 11th place in the Premier League. In the championship won only once in the last eight stages; very weak in terms of moment shape. Playing at home is the perfect time for Everton to win again, especially will play against a weaker side
