Everton vs Leeds Prediction: Overcoming difficulties

Predictions for the Premier League match at Goodison Park, which appears to be a defining match for both Everton and Leeds. This weekend, both teams are keen to earn three points, but they are more concerned with avoiding defeat. Both managers are trying to recover from their most recent losses, but with both teams' recent hit-and-miss records, this game may be difficult to predict.

Everton form

Everton was defeated 2-0 by rivals Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Monday night at Anfield, unable to build on their spirited 1-0 home victory over Arsenal in Sean Dyche's first game in command.

Just 18 seconds after James Tarkowski's header hit the post, Liverpool launched a devastating counterattack that ended with Mohamed Salah finishing easily, largely due to Jordan Pickford's bizarre positioning, before Conor Coady misjudged a low-driven cross and allowed Cody Gakpo to score his first Reds goal in the second half.

Everton form

Everton is now in the relegation zone in the 18th position in the Premier League after losing 12 of their 22 games thus far. But they are only one point below Saturday's opponents, Leeds, in 17th place. The Toffees have struggled to score goals so far this season, scoring only 16 Premier League goals—the fewest of any team in the league—while failing to score on nine occasions.

Dyche will be hoping for the Goodison Park faithful to produce another loud atmosphere to spur on his team towards a much-needed three points this Saturday. Everton has scored in nine of their last 10 games against Leeds, including a comfortable 3-0 home triumph last season.

Leeds form

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho scored late goals to help Manchester United defeat Leeds 2-0 at home, four days after they and Leeds played to a 2-2 tie at Old Trafford.

While the club continues to look for a long-term replacement for Jesse Marsch, interim manager Michael Skubala will have gained a lot of positives from the two games against Manchester United. Nonetheless, he and his backroom team are still on the lookout for the winning formula.

Leeds form

The team's "upcoming games," which include Saturday's trip to Goodison Park, where Leeds will try to halt their nine-game winless streak, the longest of any top-flight club, have been announced by Leeds. Skubala will continue to serve as manager throughout this time.

Leeds has struggled to leave Goodison Park with a victory throughout the years, having won just one of their last 15 away games against Everton, a close 1-0 victory in November 2020. Leeds has won only four of its 22 Premier League games this season. But the West Yorkshire team has already earned all three points on Merseyside this year after defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in October. If they win on Saturday, it would be the first time since the 1932–33 season that they have defeated both Everton and Liverpool on the road.

Everton vs Leeds Betting Tips

Expected a draw

For our first Everton vs. Leeds prediction, we're siding with a scoreless draw. While Leeds has greater offensive potential but a less dependable defense, the hosts don't score many goals and will be difficult to break down. Everton and Leeds have split their last three league meetings, with two of those games ending in draws. Everton has only won one of its last six games overall, while Leeds has only won twice in its last six games—both of which came in the FA Cup against teams from lower divisions.

Under 2.5 goals

The under 2.5 goals market is the subject of our second Everton vs. Leeds forecast. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last six competitive and non-competitive matches between these two clubs. Our second prediction for Saturday's game at the bottom of the table has a lot of support because each of Everton's past three matches has seen under 2.5 goals scored, while three of Leeds' last five games have had fewer than three goals scored.
