LiontipsEverton vs Southampton. League Cup match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Everton are in deep crisis. The team has failed to earn a single point in the four opening rounds of the Premier League and may once again condemn itself to a tough fight for survival. In the first two matches, the Toffees suffered heavy losses to Brighton (0:3) and Tottenham (0:4). Then they managed to put up a fight with Bournemouth (2:3) and Aston Villa (2:3), but still failed to get any points. Only in the League Cup did the Scousers manage to achieve a confident victory over Doncaster (3:0) from the Second League.

4.00Tip and bets
The opponents have been extremely unsuccessful at the start of the season and managed to win only in the League Cup. At the same time, the hosts have started to demonstrate good football in the last matches and are giving a rebuff to the opponents. But the visitors, on the contrary, have started to lose more than in the first matches of the season. We believe that Everton is now closer to victory than Southampton.
Our prediction is Everton win at 2.08
Bet on total
Both teams have shown terrible defensive play at the start of the season, conceding three goals from each opponent. The opponents will probably try to compensate for their inability to defend with their attacking play in the face-to-face match, so we should expect a productive match.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.85
Bet on corners
In most of the recent head-to-head matches, the teams have reached the 10 corner mark, and they will probably be able to do so today.
Betting Tip - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.53
