This Everton vs Chelsea preview covers an exciting clash on Sunday, as Everton host Chelsea at Goodison Park. With both teams having distinct ambitions for the season, this promises to be a thrilling encounter. Everton, under the guidance of manager Sean Dyche, will be looking to secure vital points in their fight for survival, while Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side, currently in second place, will aim to maintain their momentum in the title race.
When it comes to betting on this match, the most likely outcome seems to be a Chelsea victory. Everton, currently in 16th place, have struggled this season, particularly against teams above them in the table, where they’ve only managed one win out of eleven matches. They have conceded 19 goals in these encounters and scored just 7, highlighting their difficulties in both defence and attack.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been impressive, sitting comfortably in second place after 16 matches. Their record against teams below them in the league is solid, with 10 wins, 4 draws, and just one loss. Their attacking prowess has been evident, scoring 36 goals, and they will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 9 matches in the league. Given their recent form, an away win for Chelsea looks to be the most probable outcome.
Our Everton vs Chelsea prediction leans heavily towards an away win. Chelsea’s formidable attacking line, which has been in excellent form, should be too much for Everton’s defence. With Cole Palmer leading the charge, having netted 11 goals this season, Chelsea’s attacking depth will be difficult for the hosts to contain. Everton’s recent home form has shown resilience, but they are facing a Chelsea side on a roll, winning 5 consecutive matches.
Match Prediction: Chelsea to Win. Bet with bet365.
For those looking for a more specific betting tip, the Everton vs Chelsea score prediction could favour a 2-0 or 3-1 victory for the visitors. Chelsea’s firepower in attack, combined with Everton’s struggles at the back, suggest that the Blues will have no trouble finding the net multiple times. The last time these two sides met, Chelsea triumphed 6-0, and while a repeat scoreline seems unlikely, a comfortable victory with a couple of goals is a reasonable expectation.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea. Bet with bet365.
When considering the Everton vs Chelsea over/under goals prediction, the over 2.5 goals market could be an attractive option. Chelsea’s attacking efficiency, with an average of 2.9 goals per away game, means they are likely to score at least twice, if not more. Everton’s defensive vulnerabilities and their struggles to score in multiple matches this season, particularly against teams of Chelsea’s calibre, also suggest that there could be multiple goals in this fixture. A bet on over 2.5 goals could offer good value, given the attacking quality on display.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
For a comprehensive bet builder, the Everton vs Chelsea Bet Builder tip should focus on Chelsea winning, with Cole Palmer to score at any time. Palmer has been in fine form this season, and his ability to find the net makes him a reliable option for this type of bet. Additionally, backing Chelsea to win and for there to be over 2.5 goals would be a sensible combination, given their attacking strength and Everton’s defensive frailties. This bet covers several key outcomes that are likely to happen based on the current form of both teams.
Bet Builder Tip: Chelsea to win, over 2.5 goals, and Cole Palmer to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
