Everton buoyed after verdict?

Everton are still in the fight against relegation in the Premier League. However, a verdict handed down this week has brought some relief to the Toffees. They now look to secure their first league win in what feels like an eternity against West Ham.

The Everton vs. West Ham prediction of the bookmakers shows a favorite role for the home side, but it is not clear and obvious. In any case, Everton have the home advantage, otherwise everything seems to be quite balanced

Defensively, Everton are sometimes very solid, but individual mistakes still creep in from time to time. That’s why our Everton vs West Ham betting tip is that both teams will score.

Everton – Statistics & current form

Everton FC are not having an easy season. The club was handed a significant points deduction due to FFP infringements. However, this was at least reduced slightly during the week, giving the Toffees some breathing space in their fight against relegation. Sean Dyche’s team are still in 15th place, so are by no means in the safe zone, but are five points clear of the first relegation spot.

And judging by how the other relegation candidates have played recently, that could be enough. For example, no attacking player has scored more than three times this season, the best scorer being Doucoure, who is at home in midfield but only has six goals himself. Relief and efficiency in attack are important keys to staying in the league.

Everton recently drew 1-1 with Brighton and draws are what keep this team happy at the moment anyway. They have not won nine Premier League games in a row, but five of them have resulted in a draw. If there’s anything to build on, it’s surely that

Everton: More must come at home

Another point that absolutely needs improvement is the home games. There have only been three wins in 13 games at home and six games have been lost at Goodison Park. There has been an average of one point, which is clearly not enough. The other aspect has already been mentioned: the offense is anything but spectacular with 28 goals in 26 games.

And yet the Everton vs. West Ham odds indicate a slight favorite role for the home side. Not everything is going well for West Ham either; the first leg went to Everton, even though the Toffees have lost two of their last three home games against this opponent. A lot will depend on nuances, and resting balls could also play an important role.

Ultimately, our prediction ahead of the Everton v West Ham game is that both teams will score.

Predicted Everton line-up:

West Ham – Statistics & current form

West Ham United have had a season of ups and downs. David Moyes, coach of the Hammers, cannot be satisfied with everything. After all, the 4-2 win against Brentford FC ended a run of six consecutive league games without a win. That gives a little encouragement for the next tasks, although it is clear that they will not be easy.

West Ham are currently in eighth place in the league, which is roughly where they see themselves. However, the visitors want to see if they can take another step forward with a few more good games. Jarrod Bowen will play a special role in this, he has already scored 14 goals this season and is WHU’s leading man.

Curiously, coach Moyes has lost nine of his last twelve away games against his former clubs. That does not bode well for the game at Goodison Park. However, the recent win could significantly improve the overall mood, which could benefit the team in this clash

West Ham not ahead in the odds

Before the win against Brentford, there were defeats against Nottingham, Arsenal and Manchester United. The Hammers were shown their limits by the Gunners in particular. West Ham have not had a good record away from home recently, picking up just one point in their last four games away from home. They need to improve here too.

The Everton vs West Ham betting odds show that the visitors are the underdogs. But nothing is decided before the game, too many nuances play a role and too much depends on who makes more mistakes. In view of the 46 goals West Ham have conceded so far, it remains to be said that avoiding mistakes must be an important issue anyway.

Based on all the signs ahead of the Everton v West Ham game, our value tip is that the home side will not lose this game and that more than 1.5 goals will be scored.
