Everton v Bournemouth score prediction shared by Jamie Carragher
Jamie Carragher has predicted Everton to pick up their first points of the season when they take on Bournemouth on 31 August.
The Toffees started their campaign with two straight defeats but the former Liverpool defender backs them to beat the Cherries at Goodison Park.
He has backed Sean Dyche’s side to secure a 1-0 victory with Sky Sports’ Super 6 sharing his picks of the weekend.
Everton will take a win of any sort against Bournemouth
Despite their disastrous start with two consecutive defeats, the Toffees, under Sean Dyche’s management, are known for their resilience and tactical solidity.
Dyche’s pragmatic approach often sees his teams improve as the season progresses, focusing on defensive organisation and set-piece prowess, which could be particularly effective against a Bournemouth side that might still be finding their rhythm.
A win at Goodison Park would not only provide Everton with their first points but also inject much-needed confidence into the squad.
This initial success could catalyse a positive momentum, fostering a sense of belief and unity within the team.
Psychologically, breaking the losing streak early is crucial as it can shift the narrative from crisis to recovery, potentially galvanising both players and fans.
This momentum could be vital in climbing the table, especially in a season where every point in the early stages can be significant for avoiding relegation battles.
In other Everton news, the Toffees eyed a deadline-busting move to sign a £10m-rated international striker.
