Everton hosts Boreham Wood in the FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 3rd at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
Everton started their way in the FA Cup from the 3rd round. The Toffees eliminated Hull City (3-2 after extra time) and Brentford (4-1). Yes, they made it to the 1/8 finals and retained the chances for a trophy, but their position in the English Premier League is close to critical. The Blues lost five of the last six matches and found themselves one point away from Burnley players, who are in the relegation zone. On February 26, Everton suffered another defeat in the Premier League, losing to Manchester City at home. The Toffees successfully defended for 82 minutes until they conceded a goal from Phil Foden. His accurate shot determined the outcome of the match.

Luke Garrard's team started the tournament from the fourth round. Boreham Wood eliminated Barnet (1-0), Eastleigh (2-0), St. Albans City (4-0), Wimbledon (2-0), and Bournemouth (1-0). Boreham Wood, which plays in the fifth tier of English football, has already set a historic achievement. The Wood reached the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup for the first time since the founding of the club in 1948. Ahead of the game with Everton, Luke Garrard's men have excellent statistics. In 19 previous official matches, Boreham Wood suffered only one away defeat from Maidenhead United (2-0). On February 27, the Wood achieved a minimal home victory over Eastleigh (1-0). Tyrone Marsh's quick goal brought another three points to the team.
These teams will play their first head-to-head match at the official level. Despite all the problems in the Premier League, Everton is far superior to Boreham Wood in terms of the quality and experience of the players. However, this does not mean that the Toffees will beat the visitors with an indecent goal difference. The Wood will have enough motivation to create problems for the Blues in one single game, and the hosts will conserve their energy ahead of the important Premier League away game against Tottenham Hotspur on 7 March. For this reason, let's assume that the representatives of the 5th division will avoid a romp in Liverpool.
Prediction for the match: Boreham Wood to win with +2.5 handicap
