Bournemouth vs Everton Preview
- Date – Saturday, March 30, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 03:00 pm GMT
- Venue – Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth will host Everton in a crucial clash in the bottom half of the table after the international break.
The Cherries have rescued their dwindling form as they are unbeaten in their last three games, winning two of them. This has seen them climb up to 13th in the Premier League table with nine wins, eight draws, and 11 defeats.
Everton, meanwhile, are still not entirely clear of the relegation battle, sitting four points above the relegation zone. They have had eight wins, seven draws, and 13 defeats in their 28 league games so far.
Sean Dyche’s side were docked six points earlier this season for breach of Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules. They have another PSR charge, which could see them face further punishment.
Hence, they will be desperate to get some points on board if they are to avoid relegation.

Bournemouth vs Everton Prediction
The fixture has been heavily biased towards the home side in recent times, with the hosts winning in the last four matches.
Bournemouth appear to have regained their form, winning two of their last three Premier League games. The international break perhaps came at the wrong time for them.
Everton, meanwhile, are without a win in their last eight games, losing and drawing four each. They have lost their last two games and are in a tricky situation in terms of the relegation battle.
While the Toffees will be desperate, the Cherries will provide a tough challenge.
