Everton vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips (17 September)

Everton's start to the season in the Premier League is completely lunar with four defeats in as many days and therefore, an obvious last position tied on points with... their evening opponent! Defeats which consisted of defeats against Brighton on the first day 0-3, a volley on the pitch of Tottenham 4-0, narrowly against Bournemouth 2-3 and last weekend, on the pitch of Aston Villa 3-2. The only positive point for the Toffees at the start of the season is their qualification at this stage of the EFL Cup obtained against Doncaster, a lower division club 3-0.

 Among the Saints, who as a reminder, are promoted after their passage to the Championship last season, it is the same refrain as for Everton. Not a victory in the league, nor even a sharing of points with therefore, four defeats in four matches against Newcastle, yet reduced to ten against eleven for more than an hour of play 1-0, Nottingham at home 0-1, from against Brentford 3-1 and last weekend, against the sleeping ogre, Manchester United 0-3. Like their evening opponents, the Saints only have their success in the previous round of this EFL Cup on the Cardiff turf 3-5 as a benchmark since the start of the season.

Ukrainian international left back Mykolenko is not certain of participating in this meeting having left prematurely due to injury in the championship a few days ago (uncertain). He thus joined an infirmary made up of Branthwaite, Broja, Chermiti, the important Coleman and Nathan Patterson (Scottish international in March). Author of his 2nd goal in 4 PL matches last weekend, Calvert-Lewin is one of the only hopes of rebirth for the Toffees. Author of a goal and two assists in the PL, McNeil should be like Gueye (ex-PSG) and Iliman Ndiaye (who arrived this summer from OM). The biggest problem ultimately for Everton is its inability to contain opposing attacks, and a goalkeeper like Pickford, an English international holder, has already conceded 13 goals in 4 PL matches..

. On the other hand, the Saints will not be able to count on Stephens who will serve his red received in the championship. In addition, last year's starting goalkeeper, Bazunu is on the flank like Sulemena (3 assists last year in the Championship). Returning to England after a difficult season at Villarreal, Ben Diaz (Chilean international) will probably be present for this trip just like Archer (4 goals with Sheffield last season in the PL), or the important right back/piston, Walker- Peters (formerly Tottenham) author of 2 goals and 4 assists in the Championship last season.
