Southampton vs Everton Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Southampton vs Everton predictions and betting tips for their Premier League fixture on Sunday 27^th November at 4:30pm plus anytime goalscorer tip and the best odds.

 

Ronald Koeman makes his return to Southampton this weekend as his Everton side travel to St.Mary’s in hope of improving their dismal away record this campaign. Southampton earned a respectable draw against Liverpool last weekend; however, they were narrowly beaten 1-0 against Sparta Prague on Thursday night and as a result leaves their Europa qualification hopes in jeopardy. Seamus Coleman’s late equaliser against Swansea pushed them up to 7^th in the Premier League.

 

Southampton vs Everton Predictions

 

Everton have only won once in their last seven Premier League games and were battered 5-0 against Chelsea in their last away trip. Southampton are starting to play some excellent football under Claude Puel, in their last 14 games they have only lost three times and have won seven in the process. However, this form has yet to be demonstrated in the Premier League consistently. The Saints have picked up two points out of a possible twelve, though a point against Everton’s rivals Liverpool at the weekend will give them a confidence booster ahead of this clash on Sunday. In their last 20 away games against teams positioned in the top half of the table, the Toffee’s have a woeful record.  Everton have won one, drawn six and lost 13 of these matches. Koeman will certainly know the style Southampton play having managed them last year, and seeing as though Puel’s side have not been too consistent this season, I can see this one being a close encounter. My first Southampton vs Everton betting tip for this match is going to be a draw.

Under/Over 2.5 Tips

In Southampton’s last eight home games, seven of them have seen under 2.5 goals in them. Puel has solidified The Saints’ defence, with Virgil Van Dijk being at the heart of it. They have managed to keep four clean sheets in their last six home games. Southampton sometimes struggle to break teams down quickly and this is emphasised by the fact over 50% of their goals are scored after the 60^th minute. As I mentioned, Koeman’s side are struggling away from home this season, and that is shown in recent fixtures as they have only registered two goals in their last four away games. With Southampton’s defence looking tight as well as this, I can’t see there being over 2.5 goals in this fixture, meaning my second Southampton vs Everton prediction for this match is going to be Under 2.5 goals.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

Southampton’s star man this season has no doubt been Charlie Austin. The Englishman has cemented his place in the starting 11 for the Saints and bagged eight goals in all competitions so far, with five of them coming on home turf. Everton have not kept a clean sheet in their last four away games and have conceded nine in the process, and with Austin being in fine form recently, I think at 6/4 he is great value to score anytime to complete my Southampton vs Everton predictions for this weekend. Southampton have gone two consecutive games at St Mary’s without scoring – they have not gone three league games without scoring since February 2015. If anybody is to end this goal-scoring drought on home turf, it is Charlie Austin.

Southampton vs Everton Team News

For the Saints, goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is expected to miss this clash, whilst Jose Fonte is doubtful too as he missed the Europa League tie against Sparta Prague due to a pain in his foot. Dusan Tadic, Harrison Reed and Matt Target were also amongst those who didn’t travel to Prague for Puel’s side therefore remain doubts for Sunday’s clash. For Everton there remains no major injury concerns ahead of their trip.

 

Head to Head Stats

The Evertonions are unbeaten in three against Southampton. The last clash between the sides was at Goodison Park in April where the match finished 1-1. In their last six meetings, Southampton have won twice and drawn once against the Toffee’s, and one of those wins was a 3-0 battering in 2014. However, last time out at St Marys, Everton swatted Southampton aside, beating Koeman’s former club 3-0.

 

Southampton vs Everton Betting Odds

The bookies price Southampton up narrow favourites for this battle and are valued at 6/5 for the win at bet365. Last time these teams met it ended in a draw, and a repeat of that on Sunday is valued at 5/2 with Betfred. Everton’s away form has not been great this season and the bookies odds emphasise that. The Toffee’s are 11/4 for Ronald Koeman’s Everton to beat his old side Southampton. Away from the winning markets, if you are looking elsewhere for some good value, Romelu Lukaku has netted seven goals this season and he is 57/10 to score first on Sunday with MarathonBet.
