Current streaks

Recent form

Everton

Everton's recent form presents a concerning picture, particularly in competitive matches. They've lost their first two Premier League games, conceding 7 goals without scoring, which has left them at the bottom of the table. Their last six games across all competitions show inconsistency, with two wins, one draw, and three losses. Notably, there's a run of three consecutive games without a win in their most recent fixtures. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game over the last six matches. However, their 3-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in the League Cup offers a glimmer of hope. Interestingly, 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs, with particularly notable scorelines in their 4-0 loss to Tottenham and 3-0 defeats to both Brighton and Coventry City.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent form shows resilience and consistency, with an unbeaten run of six games across all competitions, including two wins and four draws. Their Premier League campaign has started steadily, securing two points from two games with 1-1 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, placing them 14th in the table. The team's defensive solidity is evident, conceding only one goal per game on average in their last six matches, with one clean sheet. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring 1.33 goals per game. The most notable game in this period was a high-scoring friendly against Girona, which Bournemouth won 3-2. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, but the same percentage have also featured under 2.5 goals, indicating tight, competitive encounters.

Recent home/away form

Everton

Everton's recent home form presents an intriguing mix of results. The Toffees are currently on a three-game winning streak at Goodison Park, which includes impressive victories over local rivals Liverpool and Premier League opponents Sheffield United and Brentford. This run is particularly noteworthy given their current league position and poor start to the season. Despite conceding three goals in their most recent Premier League home game against Brighton, Everton's defense has been generally solid at home, keeping four clean sheets in their last six matches. The team's goal-scoring record is modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, with 67% of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 17% of these matches, highlighting Everton's tendency for low-scoring affairs at Goodison Park.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team struggling to secure victories on the road. In their last six away matches, they've managed only one win, against Wolves, while drawing three and losing two. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, though they did manage one clean sheet. Offensively, Bournemouth has struggled to find the net consistently, scoring just 0.83 goals per game on average. There's a noticeable trend of low-scoring encounters, with 67% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals. The 3-0 loss to Arsenal stands out as their heaviest defeat in this stretch, while their ability to score in 67% of these matches suggests they can be competitive despite their difficulties in securing wins.
