The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Everton are in the 7th position while the guesting Southampton worry at 14th.
- Everton haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Southampton is in the worst form (0-1-5)
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Everton form and stats
4-2-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Everton so far this season. Three consecutive losses here at Goodison Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
A strong away win for Everton against Liverpool the last match, as Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurðsson were on target. Sensational by Everton last match, beating Liverpool away as big underdogs. Ahead of that match, Everton lost 1-3 at home to Manchester City.
Jordan Pickford loved the game against Liverpool. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-0 victory.
This is expected to be a close game, with Everton perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Everton as a small favourite), we find six games. Everton has won two of these, drawn one and lost three.
The manager C. Ancelotti will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to West Bromwich Albion in only three days.
The Everton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Southampton form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. A depressing four defeats in a row for Southampton in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Fulham.
Southampton play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Leeds United (placed 10th). A draw for Southampton before that, at their own venue hosting Chelsea (1-1).
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Southampton in our archives, and the results are: eight wins for Southampton, three draws and four defeats.
Southampton have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Southampton have conceded 27 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 15 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Southampton - Everton 2-0 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Everton, three draws and four wins for Southampton. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
