LFC with the next setback?
It’s been a turbulent and disappointing few weeks for LFC. First, they were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG in front of their own fans, and no sooner had the tears dried after the dramatic penalty shoot-out defeat than the next disappointment came with a defeat in the EFL Cup final against Newcastle.
The teams had already faced each other in February this year, as the first-leg clash was postponed due to adverse weather conditions. It ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to the visitors scoring in the eighth minute of stoppage time at home to Goodison Park!
After that, three red cards followed, which is why the duel was particularly heated, even by the standards of the always fiercely contested Merseyside Derby. For the next meeting between Liverpool and Everton, the prediction is that the guests will once again not lose or will only lose by a maximum of one goal.
Liverpool vs. Everton AI prediction
Our artificial intelligence has discovered value in the odds for a draw or an away win. BETSiE rates the probability of the guests not losing at 32.2 percent, which is slightly higher than the odds of 3.15 (31.7 percent) available at Betano. In view of this, the Liverpool vs. Everton AI prediction is for the “Toffees” to win.
Liverpool – Statistics & current form
Coach Arne Slot will be happy when he has all his players back at Anfield Road. Almost the entire star ensemble has been with their respective national teams for the past two weeks, competing in various competitions such as the Nations League and World Cup qualifiers.
Perhaps the change of scenery was not such a bad thing, though, as the mood in Liverpool before the international break had hit rock bottom due to the aforementioned disappointments in the Champions League and the EFL Cup. At least in the Premier League, however, the hosts’ situation remains strong.
Liverpool are twelve points clear at the top of the table and the home side’s offense is the measure of all things in the league with 69 goals. In 26 of the 29 rounds, Liverpool have scored at least twice, and in home games this has been the norm for some time. A double strike by the LFC or more goals by the “Reds” in the past twelve league home games could be observed!
Again no lack of goals in the Liverpool derby?
In view of this and the recently reliable offensive of the guests, the odds for more than two goals and a goal celebration on both sides are also recommended for the match between Liverpool and Everton.
Betano has the odds and the bookmaker also comes up with Apple Pay for sports betting in its range of payment methods! The prediction is supported by the fact that at least goals on both sides have also recently been the norm for the “Toffees”. Everton’s last six league games ended in this way.
Everton – Statistics & current form
The last time the two Liverpool clubs met, two players and LFC coach Arne Slot were sent off with red cards. This has cemented the Merseyside Derby’s reputation as a particularly fierce duel and, in Premier League history, the fixture has seen more red cards (25) than any other!
However, this applies in particular to the guests, who are responsible for no fewer than 17 red cards. We can expect another heated match, which is why coach David Moyes has probably reminded his players not to weaken themselves through a sending-off, as they have done so often in the past.
Everton are in top form
The guests’ form is also very stable: the nine-time English champions have not been beaten in nine league games, last in 1987 (4-5-0). The last time they had more consecutive league games without defeats was under Roberto Martinez (ten) in 2013!
Furthermore, the visitors should keep a close eye on Mohamed Salah in particular. The Egyptian has been involved in eight goals in the last seven derbies, scoring six and providing two assists!
On the other side of the pitch, Beto has been in rich scoring form of late, with the Guinea-Bissau forward netting five of his six league goals in the last seven league appearances. Now in his second year at Everton, Beto has improved markedly and is slowly approaching the performances he put in during his time at Udinese in Serie A, where he twice managed double-digit seasonal goal tallies.
Merseyside derby not infrequently ends in a draw
The encounter is also a magnet for draws: no fewer than 26 of the 65 PL duels between the two clubs ended in a draw, and only the clash between Chelsea and Manchester United has ended in a draw more often in Premier League history (27)!
In light of the current strong form of the guests, the betting odds for another draw between Liverpool and Everton in the next clash between the two are equally worth considering. This is also supported by the fact that Everton have the most draws in the league (13) and the last four league games of the guests have also always ended in a draw!

Liverpool – Everton direct comparison / H2H record
From a statistical point of view, the match should end with a 2-0 win for the home side. At least this result was observed in the last three home matches of LFC against Everton! In addition, wins for the hosts in the Merseyside derby are not a new pattern.
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 24 PL home games against their city rivals (14-9-1). From a statistical perspective, it is therefore hardly surprising that the Liverpool v Everton odds once again place the hosts in the role of clear favorites.
Liverpool – Everton Tip
For the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, our tip is that the guests will lose by a maximum of one goal or even score. The hosts have recently experienced two bitter disappointments in the premier class and in the final of the EFL Cup, and it remains to be seen how they have digested them.
In addition, the guests are in very stable form. They have not been beaten in nine matches and are not an easy opponent away from home anyway. This season, they have only lost twice in matches against the champions from Manchester, and in the very first away game of the season at Tottenham by two or more goals!
The Liverpool v Everton prediction is backed by their recent reliable defensive performances away from home. The Toffees have kept a maximum of one clean sheet in seven away games.
