Everton vs. West Ham betting tips
Everton have shown impressive defensive form at their new stadium, keeping three clean sheets and collecting four points from two Premier League games there.
West Ham are struggling badly with five defeats in their last six matches and appear short on confidence under their new management setup.
The Toffees' home defensive solidity combined with West Ham's poor attacking form makes this a strong value bet.
Everton's new ground advantage has been clear so far this season, with the team looking more organised and disciplined in defence.
West Ham's lack of creativity in the final third, being overly reliant on Bowen and Paqueta, limits their scoring threat against a well-drilled Everton defence.
Historical head-to-head data strongly supports a low-scoring affair, with only one of the last 13 league meetings producing more than three goals.
Everton's defensive record at their new home ground suggests they can keep West Ham quiet while finding one breakthrough moment.
West Ham's over-reliance on just two creative players in Bowen and Paqueta makes them predictable and easier to defend against.
The Hammers' confidence issues after five defeats in six games could see them struggle to create clear chances in a hostile away environment.
A single goal could be enough given both teams' current form patterns, with Everton looking more likely to find that decisive moment at home.
Everton are averaging six corners per home game this season, showing they create plenty of pressure in wide areas.
West Ham have been conceding an average of eight corners per game this term, indicating defensive vulnerability to wide attacks.
The Toffees should be energised for this Monday night clash with their home crowd behind them at the new stadium.
West Ham are likely to sit deeper under new management, which typically leads to more corner situations for the home side.
Everton's style of play and West Ham's defensive approach should naturally lead to sustained pressure and corner opportunities throughout the match.
West Ham have averaged the lowest fouls per game in the league at just nine under Graham Potter, showing a lack of intensity.
New manager Nuno Espirito Santo's previous Forest side averaged 11.6 fouls per game on the road, suggesting a more aggressive approach.
The Hammers should be extra physical as they look to make an impression under their new boss and stop their poor run.
Away teams often commit more fouls when under pressure, and West Ham will likely face sustained Everton attacks.
The tactical shift under Nuno combined with the need to show fight after recent poor performances makes this an appealing prop bet.
