Tottenham vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips (24 August)

On their opening day, Tottenham struggled to get off to a good start away from home against promoted Leicester. Although Porro opened the scoring for Spurs, the match ended in a 1-1 tie after Leicester came back to score. For this season, Tottenham are aiming for a place in the top 4 in order to return to the Champions League, having finished just outside the qualifying places the previous season. So, Spurs will participate in the Europa League this year. Tottenham's summer preparation has been generally positive, with four consecutive victories against Heart of Midlothian 1-5, Queens Park Rangers 0-2, Vissel Kobe 2-3 and K-League 11 3-4. However, their form was tarnished by two consecutive defeats against Bayern Munich, with scores of 1-2 and 2-3. For their part, Everton continue the momentum of a difficult previous season.

After finishing in 15th place, thus ensuring their continuation in the Premier League, the Toffees disappointed in their first match of the season at home. Opposed to Brighton, they suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 0-3. Everton's summer preparation was inconclusive. Although they faced relatively affordable teams, the results were disappointing: two defeats against Salford 2-1 and Coventry 3-0, as well as two draws against Sligo Rovers 3-3 and AS Roma 1-1. The only notable victory in this preparatory period came against Preston 0-3. 

Tottenham, determined to surpass their performance from the previous season, considerably strengthened their squad during the summer. In order to make room, the club let several players leave: Rodon was transferred to Leeds, Sessegnon to Fulham, Ndombélé to Nice, and Tanganga was loaned for the second time to Millwall. Franco-Danish midfielder Hojbjerg joined Marseille, and winger Bryan Gil was loaned to Girona. In addition, right back Emerson Royal was sold to AC Milan for 15 million euros. With the funds from these sales, Tottenham made significant recruitments. They acquired right-back Gray from Leeds, young midfielder Bergvall from Djurgarden, and paid a high fee to secure the services of Solanke, who scored 19 goals with Bournemouth last season.

Young Frenchman Wilson Odobert, transferred from Burnley where he scored on the opening day of the Championship, is also a notable recruit. The team is still led by South Korean striker Son, who scored 17 goals and 10 assists the previous season, as well as Brazilian Richarlison, with 11 goals and 4 assists. The young Welshman Johnson, who contributed with 5 goals and 10 assists, could also reach a new milestone this season. Bissouma, who was suspended for being filmed inhaling nitrous oxide, will return after being suspended. Replacement goalkeeper Forster is doubtful for this match while midfielder Betancur and striker Solanke will be out.
