AFC Bournemouth vs Everton: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for AFC Bournemouth vs Everton in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: AFC Bournemouth vs Everton

• Date: Tuesday, 02 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:30 GMT

• Venue: Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth will be looking to bounce back after a string of inconsistent results, with their last home game against West Ham ending in a draw. They'll have the advantage of playing at home again, which could boost their confidence. With Evanilson leading the line and supported by a creative midfield, they might find the net against an Everton side that has shown vulnerability in defence recently.

Everton, it should be noted, have had a mixed bag of results but managed to secure a win against Manchester United away from home. Their recent form suggests they can be competitive, but they'll need to be solid at the back to contain Bournemouth's attacking threats. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Dewsbury-Hall's influence potentially making the difference for Everton.

Bournemouth's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with only one win in their last five games. Their most recent match was a 2-3 loss away to Sunderland, which might dent their confidence a bit. However, they did manage a 2-0 win at home against Nottingham Forest, showing they can be strong on their own turf. This inconsistency might make them unpredictable but also hungry for a good result at home.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 2-3 vs Sunderland (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs West Ham United (H)

• Loss: 0-4 vs Aston Villa (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Manchester City (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

Everton have had a slightly better run of form, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five games. Their most recent match was a 1-4 loss at home to Newcastle United, which could be a blow to their morale. However, they did manage to beat Manchester United away and Fulham at home, showing they can pull off impressive results. This mix of results suggests they'll be looking to bounce back and prove themselves on the road.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-4 vs Newcastle United (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Manchester United (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Fulham (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Sunderland (A)

The head-to-head record between AFC Bournemouth and Everton has been closely contested recently. Bournemouth won the most recent encounter 1-0 at home, and secured a 2-3 victory in their last meeting on Merseyside. Before that, Bournemouth won 2-1 at home, but Everton had previously won 3-0 and 1-0 at home. This suggests that both teams can be competitive, with Bournemouth having a slight edge in recent home games.

Bournemouth are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Petrovic in goal and a back four of Truffert, Senesi, Smith, and Diakité. The midfield will be anchored by Scott and Adams, with Tavernier, Adli, and Semenyo providing creativity and support to striker Evanilson, who will be looking to exploit any gaps in Everton's defence.

Everton are also predicted to use a 4-2-3-1 setup, with Pickford between the posts and a defensive line of Keane, Tarkowski, O'Brien, and Mykolenko. The midfield duo of Iroegbunam and Garner will be key, with Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, and Ndiaye pushing forward to support striker Barry, who will be tasked with leading the line and finding the back of the net.

• Evanilson vs Michael Keane: Evanilson's pace and finishing will be tested against Keane's defensive solidity.
