EVERTON VS WEST HAM
1.52
DOUBLE CHANCE EVERTON & OVER 1.5 GOALS (1X + TOTAL OVER 1.5 GOALS)
29 September 2025 | Everton Stadium, Liverpool
Round 6 brings a duel of contrasts: Everton (12th, 7 pts) steadying their ship under Dyche against a struggling West Ham (19th, 3 pts), drowning in defensive frailties and early relegation fears. The new Everton Stadium becomes the arena where form, confidence, and pressure collide.
W–W–D–L sequence shows progress compared to last season’s chaos.
The new stadium already looks like a fortress → strong home presence.
Key absences: Branthwaite and Röhl, but Dyche’s core remains intact.
Scored in 4/5 games → consistency in attack.
4 defeats in 5 → crisis mode.
The defence is leaking goals (10 conceded so far).
Missing pillars: Souček (suspension) + Wan-Bissaka & Guilherme (injuries).
Fragile on the road, confidence collapsing.
H2H (last 32 meetings):
Everton: 14W | West Ham: 9W | Draws: 9.
Balanced history, but the form tilt is massive towards the Toffees today.
Everton: Dycheball 2.0 → compact blocks, direct transitions, feeding the crowd energy into intensity.
West Ham: survival mode → must close defensive gaps, but without Souček their midfield screen weakens → Everton likely to dominate duels and territory.
Critical variable: Can Everton convert territorial control into goals before West Ham punishes on counters?
Projected Scoreline: Everton 2–1 West Ham
Home advantage + form → Everton edge.
West Ham are desperate but too exposed defensively.
Everton to Win → Odds 1.70 (core bet).
Everton & Over 1.5 Goals (1X + Over 1.5) → Odds 1.52 (safer combo).
Both Teams to Score – YES → Odds 1.85 (West Ham can still nick one).
Over 2.5 Goals → Odds 1.93 (trend points to open play).
Everton: A win = momentum + mid-table safety buffer, and the Dyche project gains legitimacy.
West Ham: defeat = crisis deepens, relegation alarm bells ring louder, and pressure mounts on squad & staff.
Verdict: Everton favoured to seize all 3 points. Expect intensity, goals, and a psychological battle defined by Everton’s stability vs West Ham’s desperation.
