Bournemouth vs Everton head-to-head

There is no previous meeting between Bournemouth and Everton in our archive, so this preview leans on how each side has played coming into it rather than past results between the two.

How have Bournemouth and Everton been playing?

Everton have won their opening two matches of the campaign without conceding a goal. They beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home in their Premier League opener on 22 August, then thrashed Preston North End 4-0 away in the EFL Cup on 26 August. Before that, their pre-season form was mixed: a 3-1 win over Newcastle United, a 1-1 draw with Lille, and defeats to VfB Stuttgart and Stoke City.

Bournemouth's only competitive game so far was a 2-1 defeat away to Manchester City in their Premier League opener on 23 August. Their pre-season results swung between extremes, including a 10-1 win over Genoa and a 5-2 win over FC Augsburg, but also a 2-1 loss to 1. FSV Mainz 05 and a 2-2 draw with Real Betis.

Team news for Bournemouth vs Everton

Bournemouth are without Eli Junior Kroupi (foot), Amine Adli (calf), Veljko Milosavljevic (knee) and Julian Araujo (thigh), though Ryan Christie is back available having served a suspension.

Everton will be without Tim Iroegbunam, who is out for several weeks with an adductor strain, and summer signing Christian Norgaard, sidelined with a groin issue. Hayden Hackney is a doubt after a knock, while James Garner is available again after returning from hernia surgery. Thierno Barry has scored four goals in Everton's first two matches, including a hat-trick in the win over Preston North End, and is expected to lead the attack again.

Bournemouth vs Everton prediction

Everton win at the Vitality Stadium in this Premier League fixture, extending their unbeaten start to the season. They go into the match unbeaten and yet to concede in two competitive outings, with Thierno Barry in the sort of scoring form that makes him a threat against any defence. Bournemouth, by contrast, lost their only Premier League game so far and are missing four players through injury, including attacking options in Kroupi and Adli.
