Former Koeman’s team Southampton showing nice results without their former coach. The Saints are eighth in the league with 24 points gained in 19 matches. However, away form of the team isn’t great as Puel’s men gained only nine points in nine matches with four away defeats recorded. At the same time, the team showed nice results in recent matches on the road, drawing 0-0 at Stoke and victory over Bournemouth, 3-1.
Everton and Southampton are of quite high level and league standings confirms it. Both of the opponents show their best results at own turf so the venue can be a factor in this matchup. The Toffees are strong at home and they should have advantage in the game.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
