by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier League Predictions
Goodison Park will host Everton one last time when the Toffees welcome relegated Southampton on Sunday. In the penultimate round of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign, Everton start the week sitting 13th with 42 points. The visitors, who are sure to finish bottom of the standings, enter the weekend on 12 points. Below we have the preview and a prediction for this match.
This 2791st match at Everton’s home will be a third meeting this season, pitting the two clubs. Everton will want to do better than in the first two, having lost to the Saints on penalties in the League Cup and then 1-0 in the Premier League.
The fire that David Moyes’ return reignited seems to be dying down, as Everton haven't won at home in the last seven outings. Southampton will hope to reap from this, having not lost to Everton in their last three interactions. The Saints are playing for pride and Everton for sentimental value; who will carry the day?

Everton - Southampton: Form Analysis
Everton are set for an emotional farewell to Goodison Park and will be looking forward to this after returning to winning ways. Having failed to pick up a win in three straight outings, Everton halted the run last week away to Fulham.
They recorded a 3-1 victory at Craven Cottage. The Toffees know 13th is the highest they can finish this season, and it will be fine, as it is already an improvement from the previous campaign.
Their tally of 42 points is also two more than last season’s, and there’s reason to be optimistic about the future. At this point, the only concern from fans is the seven-match winless run at Goodison Park.
Southampton won just one point from their last five away league matches.
Southampton are set for a straight return to the Championship. They will want to leave with some headline, now that they already have a brand as Everton’s bogey team.
The Saints are unbeaten in the last three matches against their weekend hosts. In the last four Premier League meetings with Everton, Southampton posted three wins and twice had clean sheets.
They will target extending this run of form and will feel confident about it, having held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw last week. However, across all competitions, it has now been 13 matches since Southampton last won.

Everton & Southampton Squad Analysis
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was supposed to be Everton’s main attacking option for the season, but in recent times he has been on and off. Everton needed a main man, and Beto stepped forward.
The striker is having a great second season at the club and is the leading scorer with eight goals. Only one of his goals came last year; the remaining seven have been scored between February and now.
Iliman Ndiaye has also stepped up since his arrival from Marseille, with seven goals. It is, however, a month since the Senegalese scored, and he will want to end this drought in the final home match.
Everton haven't lost when Ndiaye or Beto scores.
This seems like a match Southampton will have to be at their best defensively. They already did well against Manchester City last week, but Everton come with different demands.
With a two-pronged threat, facing Ndiaye and Beto, the Saints might revert to a 4-4-2 after using three defenders against City.
It means Kyle Walker-Peters returns to the starting team, if fit, with Wellington Santos the most likely to be sacrificed. Leading scorer Paul Onuachu may once again start from the bench as he battles a niggling ankle injury.

Our Everton vs Southampton Prediction
These two sides have England’s top two keepers in Aaron Ramsdale at Southampton and Jordan Pickford at Everton. However, their struggles in defence are well documented, and the two sides rarely keep clean sheets. Everton have one in their last 13 league matches, and Southampton have one in 19 league games.
The two sides score with some regularity, though, and we will be looking out for that here. Six times in Southampton’s last nine league games, both teams scored. It was the same case in six of Everton’s last 10. Our prediction for Everton v Southampton is for both teams to score.
Everton vs Southampton - Other Interesting Predictions
Everton to win
Everton haven't been great at home in their recent matches, but they will feel capable of addressing that in their final game at Goodison Park. They’ve failed to win any of their last six league games there but only lost once.
The fact that in five matches against the sides in the bottom three, Everton only lost once strengthens our feeling that they can win here. The Toffees won two of the five. Also, Southampton have a poor away run, losing 14 of 18 league games on the road. Our second prediction for this match is for Everton to win.
