Bournemouth vs Everton Prediction 3 December 2025

🔊 Will Bournemouth break their winless streak in their Premier League Matchday 14 clash against Everton? The Cherries haven't secured a victory in their last four outings, yet Andoni Iraola's squad has fought hard in each contest. In stark contrast, Everton's recent encounter ended in a heavy defeat to Newcastle at Hill Dickinson. Now, the Toffees face an away challenge at the Vitality Stadium. At home, Bournemouth have been impressive, remaining unbeaten in six Premier League matches. Bookmakers believe the Cherries have what it takes to extend their successful home run.

Head-to-Head

📊 Everton's last victory dates back to 2023. Since then, the teams have faced off five times, including one match in the English League Cup. In all of these encounters, Bournemouth have come out on top. Notably, the Cherries have kept a clean sheet in the last three consecutive games.

Bournemouth Team Overview

Not too long ago, Bournemouth were sitting in second place in the Premier League, but after four rounds, they've dropped to ninth. During this stretch, the Cherries have managed to earn just one point, courtesy of a draw against West Ham right after the international break. The other three matches ended in defeats, but Andoni Iraola's squad didn't play like pushovers. For instance, their average possession percentage reached 52%, and their total expected goals (xG) tally was 5.27.

The Cherries came closest to victory, not in terms of results but in terms of match dynamics, in their latest Premier League fixture. The encounter against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light began with two goals from the visitors. However, the hosts managed to claw one back before halftime. Throughout the match, Bournemouth dominated possession (56% to 44%) and launched more frequent and dangerous attacks (18 shots with a total xG of 2.13 compared to 11 shots with an xG of 1.32). Nonetheless, by the 69th minute, the Black Cats had turned the score in their favor (3-2), and the Cherries couldn't muster a final onslaught.

Everton Team Overview

The Toffees, unlike the Cherries, entered the previous Premier League round on a three-match unbeaten streak. Thanks to these results, Everton climbed to 11th in the league standings. Their gap to the European competition spots was smaller than their distance from the relegation zone. However, David Moyes' side couldn't build on their success, falling at home to Newcastle (1-4).

The defeat to Newcastle was Everton's heaviest loss at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The match started poorly for the Toffees: Newcastle defender Malik Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the current Premier League campaign just 55 seconds in. By the 58th minute, the visitors were already leading 4-0. The Merseysiders didn't give up and tried to fight back. One of their goals was disallowed for offside after a VAR review. Then, in the 69th minute, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored a consolation goal. That goal remained the last until the final whistle.

Latest news

Bournemouth

🔝 Despite their defeat in the last round, Bournemouth found some positives. Midfielder Tyler Adams set a Premier League record this season. In the 15th minute against Sunderland, during a counter-attack, he decided to shoot from the center circle and sent the ball over the Black Cats' goalkeeper. The Bournemouth player scored from 43.3 meters, marking the longest distance goal in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

❌ In the latest Premier League round, the Cherries lost three players: Marcos Senesi, David Brooks, and Lewis Cook. Cook was sent off, while the other two will miss the upcoming match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Besides suspensions, Bournemouth also have injured players: Ben Doak and Ryan Christie.

Everton

🎙 Everton manager David Moyes has announced that the club's appeal against Idrissa Gueye's red card, received during the match against Manchester United, has been rejected. To recap, Gueye was sent off for slapping his teammate Michael Keane after the defender failed to respond to his pass, leading to a chance for the opposition. Teammates had to intervene to separate the players. Moyes mentioned that the club wasn't informed of the reason for the appeal's rejection.

❌ In the latest Premier League round, the Toffees managed to avoid any new losses. However, Everton's injury list remains significant, with Seamus Coleman, Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson, and Merlin Röhl all sidelined. Additionally, Idrissa Gueye is serving a suspension due to his red card.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The match will be officiated by Michael Salisbury, who averages 3.1 yellow cards per game over his last 20 Premier League matches. In contrast, Bournemouth's last five games have seen at least four yellow cards each, while Everton's average is 2.6. Historically, head-to-head clashes between these teams have been relatively calm, with fewer than 3.5 yellow cards in 4 of their last 6 encounters. Considering Michael Salisbury's refereeing style, a bet on total yellow cards under 3.5 could be worthwhile for the upcoming game.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Bournemouth's recent matches have been particularly entertaining, with the total goals exceeding 3.5 in their last four games. Although the Cherries' results have been disappointing, their attacking play shows promise. Over a span of four matches, Andoni Iraola's side has accumulated an xG of 8.64. Additionally, their home games against Everton at the Vitality Stadium have been high-scoring affairs, with at least three goals in 6 of the last 7 meetings. Our prediction: total goals over 2.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Everton, despite their victory over Manchester United, have struggled away from home. Prior to their surprising triumph, the Toffees went winless in four consecutive matches, showing little attacking intent. Their scoring record during this stretch is telling; even including the match against the Red Devils, they haven't scored more than one goal in five straight games. Away from Goodison Park, Everton often sit deep in defense, as reflected in their set-piece statistics. For instance, they've taken no more than four corners in 6 of their last 7 away games. We anticipate that at the Vitality Stadium, Everton's total corners will be under 4.5.

Bournemouth's recent performances haven't significantly affected the odds, with bookmakers favoring the "Cherries" in the upcoming match. It's understandable, as Andoni Iraola's side, despite securing just one point in four games, have held their own against top-five teams. Everton, on the other hand, stumbled in the 13th round, and that too on home turf. Notably, the "Cherries" remain unbeaten at the Vitality Stadium in this Premier League campaign and have not lost to Everton in their last five encounters. All signs point to a bet on Bournemouth to win with a handicap (0). The predicted score is 3-1.
