H2H: Southampton vs Everton - Prediction (Premier League

H2H: Southampton vs Everton – Comparison.

With six goals in nine competitive appearances, Southampton’s Danny Ings has scored more goals vs Everton than any other side. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is just the fourth player in PL history to score in each of his side’s first five league fixtures, and in doing so became the first Everton player to score in their first five league games of a season since Tommy Lawton back in 1938/39! Southampton have won exactly two first-half corners in four of their previous five PL matches.

Southampton Insights.

Although Southampton have made an unremarkable start to the season, they have lost only two of their previous 12 Premier League (PL) games (W6, D4, L2). They’ve also scored the opening goal in each of their two PL home matches so far, although interestingly, since manager Ralph Hasenhüttl took charge in December 2018, no PL side has squandered more points from winning positions (37). If fans were allowed in the stadium, heading down early for a pie at HT probably wouldn’t be recommended. That’s because Southampton have scored or conceded from the 40th minute to HT in three of their previous four PL matches. There was also a goal in this period in the last H2H.

Everton Insights.

Despite Liverpool going ahead twice, league leaders Everton still managed to stretch their unbeaten run to eight competitive matches last week following a thrilling 2-2 with their fierce rivals (W7, D1). It took until matchday 11 for the ‘Toffees’ to secure a result after going behind last season, yet they’ve come back from behind three times after conceding the lead in two separate PL matches already this campaign (W1, D1). Beyond being a good side, Everton this season are also an entertaining one to watch. They’ve scored an average of 3.25 goals per competitive game so far, and their last six fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals and seen both teams score.
