Everton vs A. Italiano Prediction & Betting Tips (7 April)

A. Italiano would love nothing better than to dent the promotion bid of their rivals, but a 15-game winless run on their second-tier travels, including five defeats on the bounce, suggests that such a result is likely to prove beyond them. As for Everton, they have enjoyed eight wins in their last nine matches in front of their own supporters at this level.

In advance of last match, under 2.5 goals had been the order of the day in six A. Italiano matches on the bounce in Primera Division, with the net bulging just seven times in total across these games. Given that seven of the previous nine Everton home fixtures at this level have followed the same pattern, no more than two goals are expected when the teams go head-to-head.

A. Italiano have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Primera Division matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Everton, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
