Everton vs Fulham avant-première

• Les deux équipes doivent marquer

Everton return to Hill Dickinson Stadium aiming to rediscover their early-season rhythm and end a frustrating three-game winless streak when they face Fulham, who travel north buoyed by a much-needed victory last time out.

After a confident start to life at their new home, Everton have stumbled in recent weeks. Their impressive five-match unbeaten streak at Hill Dickinson Stadium (W3, D2) came to an abrupt end when Tottenham Hotspur inflicted a heavy 3-0 defeat — the Toffees’ first home loss since moving to Bramley-Moore Dock. That setback was followed by a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Sunderland, which extended their Premier League run to just one win in seven matches (D3, L3).

It’s been a frustrating downturn for David Moyes’ side, who had previously looked revitalised after winning five of their six league games before this poor spell. Everton’s struggles have largely stemmed from a lack of clinical finishing and defensive concentration, with the side managing just five goals across their last seven league outings.

Fulham, meanwhile, arrive in Merseyside with renewed confidence after a convincing 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, which ended a miserable run of four consecutive league defeats. It was the Cottagers’ third Premier League victory of the campaign and arguably their most complete performance so far, combining sharp attacking play with a rare clean sheet.

However, Fulham’s away form remains their Achilles heel. Marco Silva’s men have lost all four of their Premier League away games this season, conceding 11 goals while scoring just twice. Their struggles on the road contrast sharply with their occasional home resilience, and Silva will be eager to end that unwanted streak — particularly against a former club where he has yet to enjoy much success as a manager, with his last three meetings against Everton ending winless (D2, L1).

Historique du face-à-face

Everton’s once-dominant home record against Fulham has evaporated in recent years. The Toffees are winless in the last four home league H2Hs (D1, L3), a stark contrast to their remarkable 22-match winning streak in this fixture on Merseyside between 1961 and 2018.

Fulham’s recent form in the fixture gives them some optimism, though they’ve often had to grind out narrow wins — with each of their last three victories at Goodison Park (and now Hill Dickinson) coming by a one-goal margin.

Statistiques et séries chaudes

• David Moyes has recorded 19 Premier League wins against Fulham (D4, L9) — at least seven more than versus any other side.
• The last three Everton-held H2Hs have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Fulham have failed to score more than once in their last five Premier League away games.
• No team has benefited from more own goals this season than Fulham (three).

Joueurs clés à surveiller et joueurs manquants

Pour Everton, Beto remains a player capable of turning games. The striker’s record is encouraging — his teams are unbeaten in his last 11 goalscoring appearances (W7, D4).

His physical presence and work rate could be key to unlocking a Fulham defence that has often looked fragile on its travels.

Fulham will look to Alex Iwobi, who continues to be a creative force since his move from Everton.

The Nigerian international has registered more shot-creating actions (32) than any other Fulham player this season and notably scored in this fixture last term. His return to Merseyside is sure to add an extra layer of motivation.

In terms of availability, Everton are sweating on the fitness of Iliman Ndiaye, who was forced off during the draw at Sunderland, while Fulham report no fresh injury concerns.

Aperçu tactique

Moyes is expected to keep faith with his disciplined 4-2-3-1 setup, prioritising compactness and defensive organisation. Everton will aim to control the tempo and exploit set-pieces — an area where they’ve been consistently threatening this season. The Toffees’ home support could prove decisive if they can seize early momentum.

Marco Silva’s Fulham, meanwhile, are likely to deploy a counter-attacking 4-3-3 system. With players like Iwobi and Willian providing width and creativity, the visitors will look to transition quickly and test Everton’s backline in moments of disorganisation. However, their lack of away confidence and inconsistency in front of goal remains a pressing concern.

Analyse des paris

Given both teams’ patchy form and recent struggles in front of goal, this fixture looks finely poised. Everton’s home advantage might normally swing things in their favour, but their recent drop-off and Fulham’s improved confidence could cancel each other out.

The recent history of low-scoring encounters between these sides strengthens the case for under 2.5 total goals, while the draw stands out as a logical outcome for bettors seeking value.

Prediction: Everton 1–1 Fulham

Neither side is likely to take major risks given their current fragilities. Expect a cautious, evenly contested game, with both teams sharing the spoils in what could be another low-scoring affair at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
