Everton Southampton betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two teams that are having similar campaigns, but are in different situations. Everton has 2 good results away from home and Southampton has 2 consecutive losses at home. Both teams have almost exact same defensive stats. And in the attacking side, Southampton has been ineffective, being among the worst in the league. So, as Everton also doesn't have an effective attack, we believe it is a good option to back a low scoring match.
