Everton vs Liverpool prediction and betting tips on April 24, 2024
Another match from the 29th round of the English Premier League is set to take place in Liverpool at Goodison Park, where local rivals Everton and Liverpool will clash. Here's the prediction for this encounter from the experts at Dailysports.
Everton
The Toffees are enduring a decidedly lackluster season and are currently battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Under the guidance of Sean Dyche, Everton has amassed 30 points from 33 matches, placing them 16th in the league standings. Their five-point cushion above the relegation zone was bolstered by a successful performance last weekend.
In their previous fixture, Everton hosted Nottingham Forest, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory. This win marked Everton's second in the last three matches. Regarding their home record, Everton has managed only five victories in 16 matches at their own ground, suffering defeat in seven encounters.
Liverpool
The Reds are entering the twilight of their matches under the leadership of the legendary Jurgen Klopp. Not long ago, it seemed that this season would be triumphant for Liverpool. However, they were eliminated from the Europa League quarter-finals by Atalanta, following a similar fate in the FA Cup against Manchester United. While they did claim victory over Chelsea in the League Cup final, the fans at Anfield were undoubtedly hoping for another league title.
Liverpool still retains a chance to clinch the Premier League title, but their fate is no longer solely in their hands. A home defeat to Crystal Palace in the penultimate round saw Manchester City leapfrog Liverpool in the table. Klopp's side faces two crucial matches against Everton and Tottenham, where maximum points are imperative. Notably, Liverpool has only lost two away matches this season, securing nine victories in 16 encounters.
