Tips for match Everton — Tottenham Hotspur

After a long pause for the FA Cup and League Cup, the Premier League is finally returning to its usual pace, and the 23rd round will open with the Everton - Tottenham match. The teams have completely different goals for the second half of the season; if the hosts of the match need to stay in the Premier League next season, then Spurs have set a goal to get into the Champions League. But what both teams have in common is a lack of stability.

Everton cannot win in the Premier League for 4 matches in a row, and in the last 2 games they could not even score 1 goal - 0-0 with Aston Villa and 3-0 with Wolverhampton. The reason for this, in my opinion, is the lack of a striker even close to the level of the Premier League team. Everything is much better with the defensive line, Tarkowski is having one of the best seasons of his career, Mykolenko is generally one of the best left-backs in the top 5 European leagues. But Everton’s overly cautious style, although it prevents opponents from creating a large number of critical moments, at the same time limits the team’s ability to create.

Tottenham are still playing without their leader - Son is still at the Asian Cup, although he is showing good results without him. If we ignore the defeat to Manchester City in the Cup, we will see only 1 defeat in the last 5 Premier League matches. And then it was a match with Brighton 4-2, one of the most amazing teams that can either beat a top club or beat a championship outsider 5-0. In the absence of Son, Richarlison has finally revealed himself and shows that he not only has a vile character, but also has football talent. But Spurs have problems with their defensive line; they conceded in the last 4 Premier League matches in a row.

We will probably see an interesting confrontation between teams with completely different styles; it is difficult to predict the outcome, but what is worth paying attention to is that Total More Yellow Cards 4.5 took place in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches. Tottenham combines very quickly and often tries to play on quick counterattacks, and the quality of some of Everton's defenders and midfielders will not allow them to be stopped without fouls.

If you want to bet on the outcome, then our forecast is that Everton will not lose with odds of 1.58.
