Command Analysis

AFC Bournemouth

Current form
Bournemouth are approaching the start of the 20th round in a high seventh place. The team has 30 points and is only one point behind Manchester City in sixth place in the European Cup. At the moment, Andoni Iraola men have an unbeaten streak of seven matches, in which they have managed to win four and in three cases there were friendly outcomes.
In the two previous rounds, the Cherries drew with Crystal Palace (0:0) and Fulham (2:2). It should be noted that they managed to save themselves against the Cottagers only in the 89th minute of the game, equalizing the score. On their home field, Bournemouth demonstrates quite pragmatic football, scoring only 11 goals, but also conceding only nine times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adams, Araujo, Scott, Senesi, Sinisterra, Smith, and Tavernier are injured and will not be able to help their team today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bournemouth have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches
- There have been no more than three goals scored in 10 of Bournemouth last 13 Premier League games
- Both teams to score have played in 8 of Bournemouth last 11 Premier League matches
Probable line-up: Arrizabalaga – Hill, Zabarny, Heysen, Kerkez – Cook, Christie – Semenyo, Kluivert, Outtara – Evanilson.

Everton

Current form
Everton four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League ended last round. The Toffees were unable to find a way past Nottingham Forest and lost 2-0. The team is in 16th place in the league table after 19 rounds, just two points above the relegation zone.
Throughout the season, Sean Dyche charges have had problems in attack, scoring only 15 goals. Only Southampton have scored fewer goals - 12 times. Everton is trying to rely on defense, which is distinguished by its reliability; in this indicator, the team is in the top 10 in the Premier League. However, such tactics do not allow them to count even on a place in the middle of the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Irogbunam, Garner and McNeil will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Everton have drawn at half-time in three of their last four matches
- In eight of Everton last nine Premier League games, at least one team has failed to score
Estimated line-up: Pickford – Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko – Mangala, Gueye, Doucouré – Harrison, Calvert-Lewin, Ndiaye.

Three of the last four matches involving the upcoming opponents ended in a draw
6.40Tip and bets
Bournemouth have drawn in their previous two games against less than top-tier opponents. They have a game ahead against current number two Everton, who rely on their defence and counter-attacks. It will clearly not be easy for the hosts to achieve success, especially since the Toffees have been stymied by their pragmatic football in recent times against many opponents from the top half of the table. We think the bookmakers are slightly underestimating the visitors, who have lost only three of their previous nine games in the Premier League.
Our prediction is Everton not to lose at odds of 2.14
Bet on total
Matches involving Everton rarely turn out to be very productive, given the team style of play. Only twice in the previous ten matches of the "toffees" more than two goals were scored. We think that the visitors will be able to "dry up" the game this time too.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.93
Yellow Card Betting
Let also note a promising trend for a possible bet on statistics. In the seven previous personal meetings in the Premier League on the Bournemouth field, the referees did not show more than four yellow cards.
Forecast - total yellow cards under 4.5 with odds of 1.75
