Everton take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 8 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 7th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Last season, Everton came dangerously close to being relegated to the Championship but miraculously retained their Premier League status. In the new season, the Toffees started with three consecutive goalless losses. Furthermore, the team continued to concede goals in subsequent matches. Everton's defense is very weak. However, the team itself is shown improvements. In their last four league games, only London's Arsenal managed to keep a clean sheet against the Toffees. Sheffield (2-2), Brentford (3-1), and Luton Town (1-2) were all able to breach Everton's defense. I believe Everton will at least score once at home against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth, it seems, will be one of Everton's competitors in the battle for survival in the Premier League, just as they were last season. I also believe that Bournemouth will find the back of the net in this match. The only teams that Bournemouth failed to score against in the first seven rounds of the championship were Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea. The capital teams remain formidable opponents for the Cherries. However, in the other four league matches, Bournemouth managed to breach their opponents' defenses at least once, and these opponents were by no means the weakest. They scored against Brentford (2-2), West Ham (1-1), Liverpool (1-3), and Brighton (1-3). Everton's defense is certainly not more reliable than the defenses of these teams.
In the first seven rounds of the Premier League, Everton conceded 12 goals, while Bournemouth conceded 15. Considering the weak defensive performances of both teams in the upcoming match, I venture to suggest that there may be an exchange of accurate shots in this game. Bournemouth have only kept a clean sheet once in the current championship season, and Everton have conceded in all of their matches so far. So, what is one goal scored in 90 minutes, especially in England? It could be a successful set-piece, a deflection, a rapid counter-attack, a cheeky strike, or a well-placed cross. Both teams are more than capable of frustrating each other, and my bet is on Both Teams to Score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
