Chelsea vs. Everton Predictions

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Tuesday, April 16, 03:00 AM

Mauricio Pochettino hit his players following another Sheffield United, commenting that they aren’t mature enough to compete at a high level in the Premier League. But the question here is whether Poch has enough control over the team, with the Blues struggling to look decent throughout the entire campaign and not showing any improvement. Everton is in a good mood ahead of this event because of last week’s win. That and Chelsea’s oscillations give hope to Toffees that they might snatch one point from London.

Chelsea vs. Everton Preview

Chelsea

The Blues have squandered billions of dollars in the past two years, and they can’t beat the worst team in the league. A 2-2 tie at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United was yet another terrible performance they displayed during the current campaign, and the fans are fed up.

Yes, Chelsea is without a defeat for seven games, having only one failure in the recent 11 appearances, but games like this, or the one where they played 2-2 at home against Burnley, are frustrating the fans big time. 

The Blues’ defense is one of the worst in the league, and we are free to say that despite any criticism we might face. Not a single clean sheet since late January is the best proof for this claim, and just to say that Chelsea conceded two or more goals in the past seven events. 

Everton

Everton has taken four points in the past two games, and following a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at St. James’ Park, they defeated Burnley at home, 1-0. It was a tough and exhausting matchup for Sean Dyche’s unit, who scored the only goal in injury time of the first halftime, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin hitting the back of the net.

Despite having a player more on the pitch for more than 25 minutes, Everton couldn’t add another goal to its tally. Dyche decided to close all the paths towards his goal and to protect the lead. 

Everton plays very dull and unpleasant football for watching, but it gives results. They are four points above the relegation zone with a game in hand compared to all the rivals. All then of their previous outings were with 2 or 3 goals.

Chelsea vs Everton Head to Head

Everton was better in the first meeting of the year at Goodison, beating the Blues 2-0. Both goals were in the second half, with Doucoure and Dobbin netting a goal each. 

This was the sixth game in the previous seven between these two teams in which we saw under 2.5 goals. 

Chelsea vs. Everton Predictions

Blues are highly unstable, and betting on their victory is risky. Instead, knowing Chelsea’s defense problems and offensive capacities, we will bet on over 2.5 goals, even though Everton plays inefficient matches.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
