Bournemouth vs Everton: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Starting Lineups

Bournemouth host Everton at Vitality Stadium on Saturday, August 29 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).

Bournemouth will be without the injured Julian Araujo, Eli Kroupi and Amine Adli, the suspended Ryan Christie, and the injured Veljko Milosavljevic, while Julio Soler, David Brooks, Alvaro Rodriguez and Juanlu Sanchez are all doubts, leaving Marcus Tavernier, Evanilson and Rayan to carry more of the attacking load. Everton have a cleaner bill of health: only the injured Timothy Iroegbunam is ruled out, with Christian Norgaard a doubt, so Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Thierno Barry and Iliman Ndiaye should all be involved again.

Bournemouth’s season began with a 2-1 loss away to Manchester City, leaving them on 0 points and a goal difference of -1. Everton head south full of confidence after a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace lifted them to 3 points and a +2 goal difference, a much brighter start than a home side missing several key attackers can claim. The Vitality Stadium crowd will still lean on home advantage to shape the outcome, but with Kroupi, Adli and Christie all sidelined, Everton’s early-season sharpness gives them a route back into a fixture the market favors for the hosts.
