Prediction: 2-0
Bournemouth
Everton will be aiming to secure the Premier League survival when they take on Bournemouth on the last day of the season. The Toffees have been having their ups and downs of late, but they showed character in a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton, with Yerry Mina scoring a late equalizer. With both Leeds United and Leicester City breathing down their neck, this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. All Davies, Townsend, Coleman, Vinagre, and Godfrey are sidelined with injuries, while Mykolenko faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s clash.
The Cherries, on the other hand, have nothing to play for in the last game of the season and given their three-game losing run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the relegation-threatened hosts. As for the away team, the likes of Semenyo, Moore, Solanke, Traore, Fredericks, and Tavernier are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Alex Iwobi):
Alex Iwobi is one of the most talented African footballers. The Nigerian football player was born in Lagos on May 3, 1996, but he moved to Arsenal at the age of 8. In 2015 he made his first-team debut for the Gunners, starting in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
Speaking of his Premier League debut, Alex Iwobi played his first game for Arsenal in a 3-0 victory over Swansea City in October, 2015. The pacey winger played for England at youth level, but he eventually went on to play for Nigeria. Iwobi made his senior debut with the Super Eagles on October 8, 2015, coming as a substitute for Ahmed Musa in a 2-0 loss to DR Congo.
On October 7, 2017 the Arsenal footballer scored the winner for Nigeria against Zambia (1-0) which helped the Super Eagles book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. Speaking of his individual trophies, Alex Iwobi was named CAF Young Player of the Year 2016.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
