Everton form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Everton have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 9 defeats from 18 games. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Everton, their manager C. Ancelotti and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Everton are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 246 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by D. Calvert-Lewin).
The Everton crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Sheffield United here at Goodison Park in a Premier League match. Ben Godfrey, defender, was given a rating of 7.61/10 in that game, top of the team. Godfrey won 7 of 9 duels.
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Aston Villa the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Everton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Everton as they are travelling to their away game against Manchester City in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
Everton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 18 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Everton defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
