Everton wants to confirm the good impression

Everton will be hoping for a positive result in the EFL Cup and will want to play Burnley FC at home from the start. The Toffees are not in brilliant form yet, but have been able to put some improvements on the pitch recently.

The Everton vs Burnley prediction from the bookmakers is that the home side will go into the game as favorites. Everton have the home advantage, however, in a cup competition like this, which is often used to rotate teams, you have to look a little closer.

Burnley, meanwhile, have some problems, want to take the next step, stabilize further. That won’t be easy, especially defensively they need to step up. In any case, our Everton vs. Burnley tip is that the home side will not lose and that less than 3.5 goals will be scored.

Everton – Statistics & current form

Last season Everton narrowly escaped relegation to the Championship. In the summer, the squad was changed a little, but within the strained financial conditions. Danjuma, Beto, Harrison, Chermiti: that’s all that was available. Nevertheless, Sean Dyche’s team seems to have taken a step in the right direction, things are going quite solidly. Even if not yet ideal.

Advancing in the cup would give the Toffees an enormous boost and help them a lot. Financially, too, there would be a little extra cash to go around. Everton’s chest should also be a little broader after Sunday’s 1-0 win at West Ham. It was a typical Dyche game with a lot of compactness and straightforward forward play. The fact that this is bearing fruit is a good sign for Everton.

This is also evident in the league, where 14 goals have been conceded in ten games so far. The fact that teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa have already been ticked off in the process also speaks well for the Toffees, who are at least well on their way to escaping the deepest relegation quagmire. And that’s after starting the season with one point from five games.

Development at Everton is visible

Evolution can be seen. There were nine points from the last five league games for the home side. This is another reason why Everton vs Burnley odds indicate a favorite role for the home side. The Toffees look more stable, played to nil in two of the last three games and are also finding more and more solutions with the ball.

Offensively, the Toffees still have problems. Ten goals were scored in the first ten league games, and the team failed to score in four of its first five games. Here, too, it is clear that a development has taken place. However, this is now to be continued. In general, the home side is in good spirits.

There are already some signs that speak in Everton’s favor, but the performances are not yet so stable that there can be any talk of euphoria. Before the match Everton vs. Burnley, our prediction is that the home side will not lose and will score less than 3.5 goals

Predicted lineup of Everton:
Virginia – Patterson, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Mykolenko – Onana, Garner, Gueye, Harrison, Danjuma – Calvert-Lewin

Burnley – Statistics & current form

Burnley FC recommended themselves for promotion to the Premier League last season with very good soccer in the Championship, deserved it. But in the new season, things are not yet going so well for Vincent Kompany’s team. The coach must now find solutions away from the playing component, because the problems are obvious.

The Clarets have to try to get more wins. Often, not too much was missing, but individual mistakes, defensive wobbles or lack of balance ruined decent approaches of the team. There has only been one win in the Premier League, which is why Burnley is currently only in a relegation spot. On the positive side, there is still room for improvement, the team has quality, and, above all, there is still plenty of time before the end of the season.

So there are starting points for Kompany. One would be to improve the offense. Foster stands at three league goals, otherwise no player has scored more than once. The playmaking approach isn’t bad, but not enough clear-cut chances are being created. Only two teams in the league have fewer expected goals than Burnley.

Can Kompany stabilize the defense?

The last game was a 1-2 at Bournemouth, a direct competitor in the fight against relegation. Three games in a row have now been lost, with the only four points this season coming away from home. Perhaps that’s just the approach against Everton. Here, however, the defense must act and function at a good level, because so far there have been 25 goals conceded in the ten league games. This is one of the reasons why the Everton vs Burnley betting odds from the bookmakers indicate that it is not unlikely that both will score.

In the EFL Cup, Burnley have had at least two acceptable results so far, a 1-0 win at Nottingham and a 4-0 win at Salford. The team wants to build on that, which is why Kompany will add a few fresh impulses, but not start a complete rotation. However, based on recent impressions, our value tip before the Everton vs Burnley match is that the hosts will win the game.

Predicted lineup of Burnley:
Trafford – Roberts, Al-Dakhil, O’Shea, Taylor – Berge – Cork, Cullen, Tresor, Koleosho – Amdouni
