Everton vs Bournemouth prediction 08.02.2025 | FA Cup

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: Saturday, 8th February 2025
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Goodison Park (Liverpool)

It seems that Everton will again avoid relegation. Only a few weeks ago, they looked hopeless, but since sacking Sean Dyche and appointing David Moyes, things started to be much brighter for the team from Goodison Park as they propelled themself nine points above the drop zone. Everton started their journey with David Moyes with a defeat against Aston Villa, but they won the next three games in a row, including last weekend's 4-0 win at home against Leicester. The home side finished the match with an xG of 2.35, while the guests had only 0.39, so Everton's victory was well-deserved. 

Bournemouth are playing much better than most expected. Shockingly, Andoni Iraola's team is only three points behind the fourth-placed Chelsea and could even fight for a place in the Champions League. Bournemouth's amazing run of 12 games without a defeat unfortunately ended last weekend when Iraola's team lost 2-0 at home against Liverpool. Bournemouth fought bravely against probably the best Premier League team and probably deserved to score at least once, but eventually finished the game even without a consolation goal. 

Everton vs Bournemouth pick: Both teams to score - yes

Everton are playing well in the attack lately, as they scored eight goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Bournemouth's 2-0 loss against Liverpool last weekend was their first game without scoring at least one goal in the previous seven matches.
