Everton take on the visitors Peterborough in the round 1/32-finals of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, January 9th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton have been playing under the leadership of Dyche for the last two years. It was under him that the threat of relegation to the Championship was finally neutralized. No, Sean started by winning the fight for survival at the last minute, correcting the situation after the failures of his predecessor, Lampard. In 2023/2024, the Blues calmly played out the draw, despite the fact that officials took away points twice. Yes, there was a difficult start, when even leading 2-0, the team eventually lost twice. But here, too, the situation was corrected. Yes, victories are still few, but it was possible to take points, even through draws, in December in a row from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. But they lost to Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest in 2025, and "dryly" - it is too early to relax.

Peterborough are now focused on surviving in the third division. The "pretentious" have their own Ferguson. True, Darren still remains in the thick shadow of his father, Sir Alex, and is fighting for a promotion to the Championship at most. And in 2024 there was a chance to achieve this. But in the end, they finished in 4th place in the regular championship in the spring, and in the playoffs they were again unlucky enough to achieve final success. Perhaps it was that failure that undermined the team, but now it has slid to the point that it is fighting for survival. And not particularly successfully, because the club lost more than half of its matches, and there were especially many failures in the winter. However, in the cup there was just an outlet, there they dealt with Newport and Notts County. But before the next round there was a defeat to Wrexham.
The clubs met only once, in 2006, of course, not in the championship - in the League Cup. Then it all ended with an away victory for the "toffees" 2-1. Such an opponent, especially at home, needs to be beaten. We bet on the "blues" with a handicap of "-1.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with -1.5 handicap.
