Prediction fotball: Chelsea vs Everton , Premier Leauge

Details:

Could be another close game. both teams near the top so think its going to be a battle. 1-0 everton or a draw is my prediction.

These teams are about equal in the standings, but obviously that’s a bit misleading based on Tuchel’s arrival and the increase in results post Frank (RIP). However, they’re hardly a convincing side and they are still a shell of what they could be in front of the net. They haven’t scored more than two goals in a League game since December, and only managed a single goal in their two games this week.

Everton haven’t looked all that much better, to be fair, but that tells me that the margins here will be slim and neither is likely to blow the doors off the other. So we’re looking at a draw or one goal win most likely, and Chelsea haven’t shown me enough as a team to feel confident in them.

A massive game which I expect Everton to set up like they did vs Liverpool. Both teams can defend very well. Chelsea’s last 6 matches in all comps under 2.5 goals

Just look at their two big victories in the last two weeks. They beat Athletico on a wild solo effort bycicle kick by Giroud, and then beat Liverpool on a similarly impressive solo effort by Mount. While having the type of talent that can make big moments is important, the build up and play as a team has been lacking, which should concern anyone betting on the Londoners. So while Everton may not be quite as good a side on paper, they’re completely capable of hanging with Chelsea the way that both are playing right now. Just look at the reverse fixture, where Everton won 1-0.

The money on Everton is too good here, and I think this game is very likely to end up in a tie. Take the decent payout on Everton to cover.
