Bournemouth Form
Everton Form
Bournemouth vs Everton prediction talk is already bubbling as these two sides prepare to meet at the Vitality Stadium on 2nd November, with kick-off at 7:30pm BST. Both teams play a league fixture before this clash, but the table already sets the tone: Bournemouth sit 8th on 19 points, Everton 11th on 18 points. It’s tight, it’s competitive, and it feels like the sort of matchup where small details shape the night.
Bournemouth remain unbeaten at home after six matches, while Everton arrive with a mix of disciplined defending and unpredictable attacking output. So, here’s what you should expect going into this one…
Bournemouth continue to deal with a few absences that have shaped recent lineups. Ben Gannon-Doak (hamstring), Justin Kluivert (unknown) and Adam Smith (head injury) remain out. Even with those missing pieces, Andoni Iraola’s side have shown they can create chances at speed, especially through the wide areas and with the spark provided by attackers like Antoine Semenyo, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.
Everton’s situation looked promising before their match against Newcastle, but for this fixture the confirmed list is longer. Nathan Patterson (muscle injury), Merlin Röhl (inguinal hernia) and Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) are all unavailable. On top of that, Idrissa Gueye is suspended, which removes a key stabilising midfielder from David Moyes’s structure.
Petrovic; Cook, Diakité, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Brooks, Tavernier, Kroupi; Evanilson.
Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Iroegbunam; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry.
Here’s what stands out when you put both teams’ current form and trends side by side:
Bournemouth’s matches have been wild lately. Across their last six games, 24 goals have been scored — an average of four per match. They attack aggressively and concede in equal measure. Everton don’t score heavily, but they create enough moments to take advantage of any defensive lapses.
Bournemouth’s home form leans toward open, high-tempo football. They’ve scored 10 goals and conceded just 4 at the Vitality, but their overall rhythm still points toward goal-heavy contests. Everton’s style is more conservative, but the combination of Bournemouth’s tempo and Everton being forced to adapt without Gueye pushes this into higher-goal territory.
Unbeaten at home, three clean sheets, and consistent scoring. Everton’s away results aren’t bad, but they’ve lost three times on the road and failed to score twice. Bournemouth’s reliability at home makes them the safer angle.
So, here’s what I think… Bournemouth’s home strength matters. They haven’t lost at the Vitality in the league, and the energy they bring in front of their crowd tends to force opponents into long spells without the ball. Their 76% possession and 28-shot performance against West Ham shows exactly how intense they can be when they get rolling.
Everton remain competitive, especially defensively, but losing Gueye and already missing Branthwaite weakens their structure in key zones. They’ve been grinding out results through organisation and opportunistic finishing — like the 0–1 win at Manchester United with just one shot on target — but Bournemouth pose a very different type of challenge.
This one looks like a match where Bournemouth’s control and tempo gradually wear Everton down. Everton will have moments, but breaking through consistently against a side with three home clean sheets won’t be easy.

Bournemouth look more likely, especially with their home record and Everton missing key players.
Yes, that seems probable. Bournemouth matches usually open up, and Everton create just enough to nick a goal.
Over 2.5 goals is the most natural read based on Bournemouth’s recent trends.
Yes, but Bournemouth’s home form tilts this slightly away from that outcome.
