Why bet on Everton?

It hasn’t been a great season for Everton, but just before the derby, they secured a massive 4-0 victory over Wolves, providing a much-needed emotional boost ahead of this matchup. Goals from Ashley Young andOrel Mangala, alongside two own goals by Craig Dawson, sealed the win for the Toffees, who currently sit in 15th place with 14 points.

Despite the victory, Everton doesn’t have much to celebrate. They have managed only three wins and five draws this season, suffering six losses while conceding more goals (21) than they’ve scored (14). Their attack is the fourth weakest in the league, with Dwight McNeil leading as their top scorer with just three goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has two and hasn’t scored in 11 games. This week’s game ended a four-match goal drought for the team.

Everton has performed better at home than away, with two wins, three draws, and two losses at Goodison Park. These positive results have all come in their most recent home matches, as they haven’t lost since back-to-back defeats to Brighton (0-3) and Bournemouth (2-3) in their first two home games of the season.

A positive update for manager Sean Dyche is the return of forward Armando Broja, who has played his first minutes back and could provide crucial support to an offense desperately in need of goals.

Why bet on Liverpool?

Liverpool sits at the top of the Premier League standings with a significant lead over its closest rivals. However, this week, that lead was slightly reduced after a 3-3 draw against Newcastle.

The Reds have accumulated 35 points through 11 wins, two draws, and one surprising home loss to Nottingham Forest. Chelsea and Arsenal are their nearest challengers, trailing by seven points.

Liverpool boasts the second-best attacking record in the Premier League with 29 goals scored, while their defense is the league’s best, having conceded just 11 goals. Mohamed Salah has returned to his best form and is the league’s top scorer with 13 goals, surpassing Erling Haaland. Salah is on an incredible streak, scoring in seven consecutive matches, during which he netted nine goals. Additionally, he has provided eight assists, ranking second in that category behind Bukayo Saka (10).

On the road for the Premier League, Liverpool remains undefeated, securing five wins and two draws against Newcastle (3-3) and Arsenal (2-2).

Injuries include Alisson, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Ibrahima Konaté, and Conor Bradley. On a positive note, Federico Chiesa featured for the U21 squad this week and scored a goal.
