Everton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction 21 April 2024

Sunday's Premier League program will be opened by Everton and Nottingham Forest. We are expecting a match between direct competitors from the lower part of the table. The clubs were penalized for violating FFP rules by deducting points, which dragged them into the survival battle. Which of them will come out on top on April 21 at Goodison Park Stadium in Liverpool?

Everton will definitely miss Alli, Dobbin, and Patterson in the upcoming match – far from key figures. But the participation of Gueye, Coleman, Calvert-Lewin, and Branthwaite is also in question. The absence of any of these guys will be a significant loss. The guests have not been able to rely on Awoniyi and Boly for several rounds now – both are important players.

Chris Kavanagh has been appointed as the main referee of the match. In his last 6 games, he has shown less than 5 yellow cards. The average number of fouls over the last 10 matches is 23, and over the last 100 – 24.

In matches involving Everton, the average foul rate is 21.6, with the "Toffees" themselves committing 12.2 fouls. Nottingham fouls slightly more often – 12.3 times with 22.9 infringements per match. Regarding yellow cards: Everton averages 2.2, while Nottingham – 2.1. Considering the refereeing statistics, playing a total of fewer yellow cards (5) for 1.44 is possible.

Trends in head-to-head between opponents are an important detail when choosing a bet. And we have selected an interesting option for you: Everton has not lost in 7 out of the last 8 head-to-head meetings of these teams. The statistics speak in favor of the hosts! The bet Everton will not lose is valued at 1.33.

The "Toffees" have only won one victory this year, with the team's results being dismal. Also, it is worth noting that it is one of the worst in the league in terms of average corners, as indicated by the following trend. Everton takes fewer than 5.5 corners at home in 7 out of the last 8 Premier League matches. Betting on Everton's total corners fewer (5.5) is possible for an impressive coefficient of 2.1.

However, the guests are among the top seven teams in the league but only in terms of average number of fouls, so there's nothing to be proud of here. Nottingham Forest receives more than 10.5 fouls in 6 out of the last 7 matches. Betting on the total fouls of "the Foresters" more (10.5) is an excellent option for 1.6.

However, considering all statistical factors, we believe that betting on the overall total fouls more (21.5) for 1.78 is the most optimal option.
