Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Everton FC Match Prediction & Analysis

After playing out a disappointing opening match away, the Tottenham Hotspurs are set to host Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. Both teams found themselves in contracting situations with different results in their opening match, yet both found themselves disappointed. 

 The Spurs, who were dominant in their match against Leicester City, ended up with a 1-1 draw despite taking an early lead in the contest through full-back Pedro Porro. . With games against Arsenal and Newcastle coming up, the importance of a win here against Everton cannot be understated.

 Meanwhile, Everton, who suffered their sixth loss in their last seven games, including the pre-season friendlies, was completely outplayed by Brighton in their opening match. In the end, they lost the match at home by a margin of 3-0. The Toffees, who finished 15th last season, are currently sitting in the last position in the points table. On the other hand, the Spurs, who finished fourth last time, are currently placed 12th in the league standings. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

For a side that had a prolific last season in which they scored 76 goals, a 1-1 draw with them dominating the game against a recently promoted team can be seen as equivalent to a loss. 

Spurs enjoyed 70% possession and 70 touches in the final third last game, while Leicester had just 30% possession and 34 touches in the final third. And it could have cost them the game had it not been for Guglielmo Vicario’s heroics in the closing stages of the match, as he denied Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi a win. 

Despite all that dominance, both teams had the same number of big chances created (2). In short, they weren't clinical enough in the final third, and the coach admitted it afterwards.

There are injury concerns for the Spurs ahead of their weekend clash, with doubts over the fitness of Rodrigo Bentacur and Pedro Porro. However, Porro is expected to play against Everton. In terms of tactics, expect Postecoglou to once again lineup his side in the 4-3-3 formation. 

Tottenham Hotspur Starting Lineup - Vicario (Goalkeeper): Porro, Romero, Van de Ven (Defenders); Sarr, Gray, Maddison (Midfielders); Kulisevski, Solanke, Son (Forwards) 

Everton FC Preview

In contrast to Spurs, Everton was on the receiving end of the opposition attack, with only 38% overall possession and one shot on target. It's no surprise that they struggle to score goals. 

Coming into the competition, their attack was always going to be a worry, with only 40 goals scored. Dyche, however, will be concerned with the number of goals conceded against Brighton. 

The defence was expected to be one of their strongest points. Last season, they conceded only 51 goals, the fourth-lowest total in the league. It didn't help that they were a man down after Ashley Young was sent off in the 66th minute of the game. That said, they were down by two goals before Young was red-carded. 

Ahead of the Spurs’ game, Dyche will be anxious about his flank defending in the absence of Young and with no solid right-back available since Mitoma and Minteh caused a lot of problems for them in the previous meeting. 

In terms of tactics, Dyche opted for a 4-2-3-1 system versus Brighton rather than the expected 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. However, against Tottenham, he may revert to his preferred formation. 

Everton Starting Lineup - Pickford (Goalkeeper); Holgate, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Mykolenko (Defenders); Iroegbunam, Gueye, Harrison, Doucouré, Ndiaye (Midfielders); Calvert-Lewin (Forward) 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur started their home campaign with four consecutive wins and went on to win 13 of their 19 home games. In contrast, Everton's away form was inconsistent, with five wins and five losses. 

Notably, their five away wins came in the first eight games of the season, and their 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Stadium marked the beginning of an 11-game winless streak away from home.

Given Tottenham's strong home record and Everton's recent struggles away from home, we predict a comfortable victory for Tottenham Hotspur in this match. Their dominant home form and Everton's inconsistent away performances make them strong favorites to secure all three points.
