Bournemouth vs. Everton pre-season friendly prediction
Bournemouth began their pre-season schedule with a 2-1 defeat of Hibernian last week, while Everton shared a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley before a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
This is David Moyes’ first pre-season back in charge of the Toffees, but Everton seem a little bit further behind Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side.
The Cherries are currently at a best-priced 6/5 with Bet365 and appear a good bet for this friendly, while Everton are priced up at 21/10 and the draw is 13/5.

Bournemouth vs. Everton latest odds, correct score betting

Bournemouth vs. Everton team news
- Key Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is unavailable through a knee injury, but he wasn’t set to be ready for pre-season yet anyway after his involvement in the UEFA U21 European Championships this summer.
- It could well be that Bournemouth hand a debut to goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic in this game after his move from Chelsea, with the Serbia international brought in to replace both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Mark Travers.
- Travers has actually moved on to Everton to be cover for Jordan Pickford, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him start against his former club in New Jersey.
- Everton have a couple of defensive injury concerns, too, as James Tarkowski and Seamus Coleman missed the end of last season due to hamstring and thigh injuries respectively and are still working back to full fitness.
Bournemouth vs. Everton Bet Builder tips
Our bet builder for this game is Draw/Bournemouth and Bournemouth to win by a one-goal margin, currently available at 21/1 with Bet365.
Bournemouth play an intense and aggressive playing style under Andoni Iraola, but as they build up their fitness levels, they are likely to be a bit more cautious in this friendly.
They remain favourites against an Everton side who are traditionally unadventurous and have stuttered through a couple of underwhelming performances and results so far this summer.
We're backing Bournemouth to get the job done in the second half and squeeze out a win.
