Command Analysis

Everton

Current form
The farewell to Goodison Park will take place today. The glorious stadium has long been the home arena for Everton, but from the new season the team will already be playing at the new stadium. Undoubtedly, the upcoming game is of great importance for the club and the fans. Moreover, the Toffees have not won at home in the Premier League since February 1. Over the past time, however, there has been only one defeat against Manchester City (0:2), and a draw was recorded in five more matches. In the standings on the eve of the start of the penultimate round, David Moyes' team occupies the 13th place, above which it will not rise under any circumstances. In the last round on the road, Everton confidently defeated Fulham 3-1, clearly demonstrated that there are no problems with motivation now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mangala, Lindstrom and Tarkovsky will not play due to injuries. O'Brien's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Everton have drawn in the opening 45 minutes.
- In the last 16 matches in the Premier League, Everton have only lost three times.
The approximate line-up: Pickford – Patterson, Keen, Brantwaite, Mikolenko – Garner, Gaye – Harrison, Doucure, Alcaraz – Beto.

Southampton

Current form
At the end of the 31st round, Southampton prematurely qualified for the Championship, which became an anti-record in the history of the Premier League. Nevertheless, the players did not stop fighting, and Juric's resignation helped in some ways. In the last round, Simon Rask's men sensationally took points from Manchester City (0-0). The whole match had to be defended, the saints did not land a single shot on target, but still stood up defensively, although it was not without a bit of luck. In total, Southampton have 12 points, the last place in the table, from which the team will not move anywhere.
Disqualifications and injuries
The entry of Fraser, Taylor, Grenback and Walker-Peters into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of Southampton's five previous matches, an accurate score of 0-0 was recorded in the first half.
- In the last five matches with the Saints in the Premier League, no more than three goals have been scored.
Approximate line–up: Ramsdale - Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stevens –Brie, Downs, Ugochukwu, Manning –Dibling, Fernandez –Sulemana.
Trends
Bet 1 half: total less than 1.5 goals
In only one of the five previous head-to-head matches, more than one goal was scored in the opening 45 minutes.
1.41Bet Goals in both halves – no
In four of the last five head-to-head matches, goals were not scored in each of the halves.
1.67The exact score is 1:0
Everton have scored two of their last three wins with a one-goal advantage.
6.30Tip and bets
Southampton have won only two games in the Premier League since the start of the season, and one of them was over Everton in the first round. Toffees traditionally have difficulty opening up the saturated defenses of any opponent without any problems – that's exactly what we're waiting for them today. Undoubtedly, the hosts will be extremely motivated to achieve victory in the last match at Goodison Park, but they are unlikely to win by more than one goal, especially considering that they have not won at home in the Premier League since February.
Our betting tip is for Southampton to win with an Asian handicap (+1.5) for a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
The Saints held off a powerful Manchester City attack in the last round, and obviously Liverpool will rely on defense today. Everton are far from being the most attacking team to expect a large number of goals from match to match. Plus, in the two previous head-to-head matches, more than two goals were not scored.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.62
The first half bet
In the two previous face-to-face matches, the opponents dispersed peacefully after the first half. We expect that no one will force things on the field at the start today.
The betting tip is a draw in the first half with a coefficient of 2.50
