Everton vs Bournemouth match odds
How both teams head into Everton vs Bournemouth
It has been a season of stability for Everton in their first year at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Under the familiar guidance of David Moyes, the Toffees are sitting comfortably in eighth place in the Premier League with thirty-seven points. Their form has been curiously stronger on the road, where they have picked up more wins and points than at their new home .
A solid defence has been matched by a functional attack, resulting in a perfectly neutral goal difference. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry have led the line with five goals apiece, while Jack Grealish has provided the creative spark with six assists. With no relegation fears and a European push unlikely, Everton fans will be content with a solid, mid-table consolidation in their new surroundings.
It has been a dramatic season for Bournemouth, who sit eleventh in the Premier League, navigating a campaign defined by a major transfer blow. The Cherries have been solid under Andoni Iraola, particularly at the Vitality Stadium, but their season was turned on its head in January with the sale of top scorer Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City for a staggering £64 million.
Semenyo had netted ten goals, and his departure leaves a significant void. Thankfully, nineteen-year-old Eli Junior Kroupi has been a revelation, scoring eight goals from just eleven starts. Fans will be hoping the youngster, alongside Marcus Tavernier, can fill the gap and ensure a comfortable mid-table finish for the south-coast side.
Everton team news
Everton are in good shape ahead of the visit of Bournemouth, with only one major absentee. Creative midfielder Jack Grealish is out for the season after requiring surgery on an ankle injury. David Moyes otherwise has a full squad to choose from. Defender Jarrad Branthwaite is a slight doubt as he is managed back from a hamstring issue, but could feature. The Toffees are boosted by a five-match unbeaten run and a near-fully available squad.
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth are facing a midfield injury crisis ahead of their trip to Everton. Andoni Iraola will be without a handful of key players, with Justin Kluivert and Tyler Adams both out with knee injuries. The Cherries also have thigh problems sidelining both Ben Gannon-Doak and Marcus Tavernier, while Julio Soler is also unavailable. Despite the lengthy absentee list, Bournemouth come into the game on a five-match unbeaten run and will be confident of a result.
Season Form & Standings
Everton have climbed to 8th place with a win percentage of 40% from 25 matches, showing a well-balanced approach (28 goals scored, 28 conceded). Bournemouth are 11th, just three points behind, but their games tend to be more open, reflected in 41 goals scored and 44 conceded.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Everton | 8 | 25 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 28 | 28 | 0 | 37 |
| Bournemouth | 11 | 25 | 8 | 10 | 7 | 41 | 44 | -3 | 34 |
Head-to-Head: Last 5 Meetings
Historically, this fixture has been competitive, but Bournemouth have had the edge overall with nine wins in the last 15 meetings. Everton, however, took the points in the most recent league meeting.
| Date | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| 02/12/25 | Bournemouth 0-1 Everton | Premier League |
| 08/02/25 | Everton 0-2 Bournemouth | FA Cup |

Conclusion: Who Holds the Edge?
Will Everton’s defensive discipline be enough to hold off Bournemouth’s enterprising attack, or will the visitors’ knack for creating chances break the home side’s resolve? With both teams showing specific strengths—Everton’s reliable back line against Bournemouth’s potent forwards—this is a contest that could swing either way, but both teams to score stands out as the most reliable play. Back BTTS Yes with Matchbook at 8/11 (57.9%) for value.
