Everton is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches. Their defense has not been good this season as they have allowed at least 1 goal in each of their 9 matches across all competitions this year, but their attack has been much better recently as they are scoring more goals. They have scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches and they have been averaging 2 goals scored per match in their last 3 straight. They have also been in much better form in those as they have won 2 of their last 3 matches and they will be hungry to get the bad taste out of their mouth after losing to Luton Town at home in their last match. They are going up against a Bournemouth side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches as they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their defense has not been good recently as they have allowed 7 goals in their last 2 EPL matches and their attack has also struggled but they have been playing against much better team in the league as well. They have started their season with some very tough matches against Liverpool, Tottenham, Brentford, Chelsea, Brighton, and Arsenal in their last 6 league matches alone but now their schedule is getting weaker and they will be hungry to try and get out of 19th place as they do have quality players on their side. Bournemouth is still looking for their 1st win of the season as well and they will be pushing their attack against this weaker defense compared to what they have faced recently. Everton has also been opening up their attack more in recent matches so this match will open up and there will be goals by both sides. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
