Prediction Everton vs Southampton season – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 18/05/2025

As the Premier League heats up in its final weeks, Everton will square off against Southampton at Goodison Park on May 18, 2025. This clash promises to be pivotal for both teams, albeit for very different reasons.

Everton's Momentum

Everton is entering this match with a recent streak of improvement, having delivered solid performances in their last five outings. A stunning victory over Fulham (3-1) demonstrates their attacking prowess, coupled with a tighter defensive structure that has seen them concede less frequently in crucial moments. Currently sitting 13th in the league, they are eager to solidify their status in the top tier, and the home advantage at Goodison Park, where they have managed to score 24 goals, will significantly aid their cause.

Their record shows a balanced approach—9 wins, 15 draws, and only 12 losses from 36 matches, with a relatively respectable home record. The home squad's ability to create dangerous chances is evident, averaging over 88 attacks per game with an impressive 56.25% success in both teams scoring (BTTS). When playing at Goodison Park, they have managed 10 clean sheets, reflecting a potential planning for late-season resilience.

Southampton's Struggles

On the other hand, Southampton is embroiled in a relegation battle as they sit at the bottom of the league table with just 12 points. Their woeful record of only 2 wins from 36 matches, and a staggering 28 losses, has left them with a goal difference that speaks volumes about their season struggles. The lack of offensive firepower manifested in a mere 25 goals scored across the season is alarming, while they've conceded a staggering 82 goals.

Their last match against Manchester City, which ended in a scoreless draw, serves as a flicker of hope, but the lack of wins speaks volumes about the obstacles they face before this important encounter.

The Betting Landscape

Bookmakers have heavily favored Everton heading into the match, with odds of 1.40 for a win, translating to a probability of 71.43%. In contrast, Southampton's odds stand at a bleak 7.50, suggesting a mere 13.33% chance for an away victory. Given the current form and historical context, a draw is also considered less likely at 4.75.

Betting Suggestion

Given the current statistics and form trends, a safe bet would be to wager on Everton to win. Their home form and Southampton's struggles make it a logical choice. For those feeling more adventurous, consider betting on Both Teams to Score – No (BTTS - No), as Southampton's inability to find the net regularly could play a decisive role in this clash.

The stage is set for a dramatic face-off, and fans are eager to see whether Everton can capitalize on their recent performances while Southampton fights for survival in one of their most important matches of the season.
