There is Monday night English Premier League action for punters to get stuck into and we take a look at the game between Everton and Southampton from a betting angle.
Everton are 7th on the log and they broke a 2 match losing run when they beat Liverpool 2-0 on the road last time out. Their recent home form hasn’t been as strong with back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Fulham and they have only taken 1 point from the last 15 they have played for at home.
Everton home games have averaged 3.1 goals each this season and the 12 matches have delivered an equal spread of wins and losses for those punting over and under 2.5 goals.
Southampton are 14th on the table and have now gone 8 games without a victory, losing 7 and drawing 1. Last time out they were beaten 3-0 away at Leeds and they have lost their last 4 away games on the trot.
If you looked at the English Premier League table covering only the last 10 matches, Southampton would be sitting rock bottom on just 5 points.
Southampton games on the road have delivered more goals averaging 3.4 goals each although once again we have got an equal split for over and under 2.5 goal backers with 6 of each in the 12 matches. Southampton’s last 3 away games have had 3 goals or more in them though.
Southampton won the reverse fixture 2-0 at home and last season this fixture finished 1-1.

Everton 23/20
Draw 49/20
Southampton 5/2
Suggested Bet: Everton to win at 23/20
While their home form has not been strong Southampton look a side in real trouble at the moment and I think Everton can grab 3 points.
Another bet I like is both teams to score, YES, at 8/10. If you exclude the last head-to-head the sides have played against each other this would have arrived in 6 successive EPL matches.
