Burnley vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 24/12/2018, 01:13  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Everton go to this game fresh from a 2 – 6 home thumping by Tottenham and after five winless outings, they will be seeking to wrap up the year on a high. It has been tough for the Merseyside team but to their defence, they have played each of the top three sides in their last five matches, losing each and facing a struggling Burnley side, the Toffees will want to look at this as a very manageable game. However, there are still questions over the fitness levels of their best player so far this season, Richarlison, who was a doubt ahead of the Spurs game, and had to be withdrawn in the 75th minute during the game. The burly Brazilian has eight goals and two assists in the league this season and the team will want to work round the clock to see that he is available for the Burnley clash. With just two points picked in the five matches in December, Everton should look at this game as a potential to bag three points but they will have to greatly improve on their away form, having won just once in the league this season. Burnley, on the other hand, have not been the best when playing at home, though two of their three league wins this season have come at home. Each of the two sides has won three of the last six meetings, while four of the last six meetings have yielded over 2.5 goals. Burnley have 25 wins and Everton 33 in the teams’ 82 meetings in history.
