Everton vs Tottenham Prediction
🔊 Everton and Tottenham are set to close out Matchday 9 of the Premier League. The match will take place on October 26 at the stunning Hill Dickinson Stadium. Both teams have struggled to deliver victories for their fans recently, and bookmakers don't see a clear favorite in this upcoming clash. The odds slightly favor the Toffees, but that's not enough to make a confident bet. Let's dive deeper into the analysis and determine the most insightful prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Tottenham have dominated their head-to-head clashes with the Toffees, securing four victories in their last ten encounters. However, it's important to note that all these wins came on home turf. On the road, the Londoners haven't managed to defeat Everton since 2018, going seven matches without a win at Goodison Park.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Everton Team Overview
Everton continue to maintain their reputation as a formidable home team. At Goodison Park, the Toffees remain unbeaten this season and rank in the top seven of the table when considering only home matches. Their latest victim was Crystal Palace (2-1), with Jack Grealish netting the winner in stoppage time.
The issue, however, arose in their last match against Manchester City (0-2), where the Englishman was unavailable, and it was an away fixture. Essentially, David Moyes' side had little to counter the Citizens, conceding two routine goals to Erling Haaland while managing just one shot on target over 90 minutes. This defeat pushed the Blues down to 12th place in the table.

Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
Tottenham's season began with a sense of optimism, but as each match passes, reasons for celebration are dwindling. This applies to both the quality of their play and their results. Thomas Frank offers neither. While the Spurs rarely lose, they've only managed a couple of wins in their last seven matches, one of which was a 3-0 victory over Doncaster in the League Cup, which hardly satisfies the fans.
In the last Premier League round, the Lilywhites delivered a lackluster performance against Aston Villa (1-2), and they were on the verge of suffering a second consecutive defeat this week. It was Guglielmo Vicario who spared them from disaster in Monaco, preventing 2.68 expected goals. It was striking how weak Tottenham appeared against the struggling Monaco side. So much so, they should be relieved with the draw.

Latest news
Everton
📝 Rumor has it that Everton are keen on bringing Richarlison back into their fold, with David Moyes personally interested in the move. Tottenham plan to list the 28-year-old player for transfer this winter, and the Toffees are set on pursuing the Brazilian.
❌ Jarrad Branthwaite is still struggling to recover from a hamstring injury sustained during preseason. Nathan Patterson is also dealing with health issues. At one point, the defender was troubled by a hernia, and in mid-October, he picked up a leg injury while playing for the youth team.
Tottenham Hotspur
🎙 Thomas Frank remains optimistic: "That's football - sometimes everything hinges on a single touch, a moment: whether the ball comes your way or not, injuries... There are so many factors. But we will build strength step by step. I have no doubt about that. Overall, I'm pleased with our current position, let's say - generally pleased. But I always want more, and I just know we have potential."
❌ Tottenham's injury list is overflowing. Key absences include James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma, and Destiny Udogie. Wilson Odobert picked up a fresh injury and couldn't finish the match against Monaco. The participation of the French winger in the game against Everton is doubtful.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The officiating team, led by Craig Pawson, will be in charge of maintaining order on the field. The English referee is not known for frequently reaching for his pocket. In five Premier League matches this season, he has issued just ten cautions, averaging two per game. In the last eight matches officiated by Pawson, no more than four yellow cards were shown, a trend also observed in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters between Everton and Tottenham. Therefore, a bet on under 4.5 yellow cards seems worth considering.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Let's take another look at the head-to-head clashes where both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 meetings. When considering matches played at Everton's ground, the trend is even more pronounced, with both teams finding the net in 7 of the last 8 games. In their recent outings, neither the Toffees nor Spurs managed to score, so they will be eager to change that on Sunday. We anticipate goals from both sides and recommend a bet on both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Everton rank among the league's lowest in terms of average corners, with a modest home average of 4.25 per game. Meanwhile, Spurs deliver significantly more on their travels, averaging 6.5 corners. Thus, a bet on Tottenham to win or draw in corners appears promising.
Editor's Prediction
The odds don't surprise us at all. Everton play with great inspiration in front of their fans, remaining unbeaten at their new stadium, while Tottenham fail to impress anywhere-neither at home nor away, where they narrowly defeated Leeds (2-1) and were lucky to hold Monaco to a draw (0-0). The only player free from criticism in the Spurs' lineup is Vicario, but he can't save them every time. Overall, the team seems raw and lacks cohesion, regardless of what Thomas Frank might say. Adding to this the fact that the Lilywhites haven't managed to beat the Toffees away for many years, we opt for the following bet: Everton to win with a (0) handicap. We anticipate the final whistle will see the scoreboard reading 2-1.
