Tottenham vs Everton Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Tottenham welcome Everton to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 12 September 2026 in a Premier League clash that already feels significant at both ends of the table. The hosts are in early trouble, sitting 18th after three rounds, while Everton have started brightly and arrive in London in the top half.

For Tottenham, this is about halting a worrying slide: just 1 point from 3 matches, no goals scored and 5 conceded. Everton, by contrast, are unbeaten with 5 points from 3 games and a positive goal difference, suggesting a side that has quickly found balance between defence and attack. With Tottenham vs Everton predictions and betting tips in sharp focus, this fixture offers a fascinating clash between a struggling giant and a confident visitor.

Recent head-to-head meetings at this ground have largely favoured Tottenham, but current form and early-season momentum point towards a much more even contest. The question for bettors and neutrals alike is whether home advantage and historical dominance can outweigh Everton’s superior recent form.

Tottenham vs Everton Key Stats

  • Tottenham are 18th with 1 point from 3 matches, having scored 0 and conceded 5 in the Premier League.
  • In their most recent meeting on 24 May 2026 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham beat Everton 1-0 in the Premier League.
  • Across 3 Premier League matches this season, Everton have scored 5 goals (1.7 per game) and conceded 3 (1.0 per game), failing to score in none of those fixtures.

Tottenham vs Everton — Tale of the Tape

  • Position: 18 vs 8
  • Points: 1 vs 5
  • Goals For: 0 vs 5
  • Goals Against: 5 vs 3
  • Clean Sheets: Tottenham 1 (all competitions this league season), Everton 1

Standings underline the contrast between these sides after three rounds. Tottenham are in the relegation zone, 18th in the Premier League group, with 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. They have failed to score in all 3 matches and carry a -5 goal difference, a stark indicator of both attacking bluntness and defensive fragility.

Everton, 8th in the same table, have opened with a win and two draws, remaining unbeaten. Their 5 goals scored and 3 conceded reflect a side capable of creating chances while keeping things relatively tight at the back. With Tottenham’s overall form reading DLL and Everton’s WDD, the visitors arrive with greater confidence and a more stable platform, even if the season is still in its infancy.

Tottenham vs Everton Key Matchups

D. Udogie vs B. Johnson

One of the key individual battles could come down Tottenham’s left and Everton’s right, where defender D. Udogie and midfielder B. Johnson both feature prominently in the disciplinary charts. Udogie has made 3 Premier League appearances, logging 92 minutes with 1 yellow card, 50 passes at 88% accuracy, and a solid duels record (14 contested, 7 won). His willingness to engage in duels and commit fouls (3) shows an aggressive defensive style that can both help and hurt his team.

On the opposite side, Johnson has also appeared 3 times (100 minutes), picking up 1 yellow card and committing 4 fouls. While his attacking output has yet to ignite (0 goals, 0 assists, 1 shot), he has contributed 2 key passes and 22 total passes at 77% accuracy, plus 2 tackles and 2 interceptions. If Everton look to transition quickly, Johnson’s movement and work rate will test Udogie’s discipline and timing in the challenge.

H. Hackney vs Tottenham midfield unit

Without a named Tottenham player in the top assists list, Everton’s H. Hackney stands out as a creative hub. In 3 appearances (122 minutes), he already has 1 assist, 3 key passes and 75 total passes at an impressive 89% accuracy. Add 3 tackles, 2 blocks and 2 interceptions, and you get a midfielder who contributes on both sides of the ball.

Tottenham’s midfield, which has yet to register a goal or assist in league-wide top charts, will need to disrupt Hackney’s rhythm. If he is allowed time to pick passes and carry the ball, Everton’s attack—already averaging 1.7 goals per game—could find enough openings against a Tottenham defence conceding 1.7 goals per match.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

Recent head-to-head history leans Tottenham’s way, particularly in London, though Everton have shown they can compete and occasionally take advantage at Goodison Park. The scorelines also suggest that goals are common when these two meet.

  • 24 May 2026: Tottenham 1-0 Everton (Premier League)
  • 26 October 2025: Everton 0-3 Tottenham (Premier League)
  • 19 January 2025: Everton 3-2 Tottenham (Premier League)
  • 24 August 2024: Tottenham 4-0 Everton (Premier League)
  • 3 February 2024: Everton 2-2 Tottenham (Premier League)

Tottenham vs Everton Prediction

Stats suggest a clash between Tottenham’s crisis of confidence and Everton’s early-season solidity. Tottenham have failed to score in 3 league matches, with their attacking index for the last five games at 0 and an average of 0.0 goals for. Defensively they concede 1.7 per game, with a notable share of goals coming late (40% in the 61–75 minute window), hinting at lapses in concentration or fitness.

Everton’s recent form is far stronger: their last-five form index stands at 56, with attack and defence both at 63. They average 1.7 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per match, and crucially, they have not failed to score yet. The prediction model gives Tottenham just a 10% chance of victory, with a 45% chance of a draw and 45% for an Everton win. That points firmly towards the visitors avoiding defeat, though the high draw probability reflects Tottenham’s historical home strength in this fixture.

Given Tottenham’s scoring drought and Everton’s solid but not explosive attack, a tight game feels more likely than a shoot-out. Everton are capable of exploiting Tottenham’s defensive issues, but the hosts’ need for a response, combined with their strong home H2H record, nudges this towards a share of the points.

Predicted Score: Tottenham 1-1 Everton

Tottenham Recent Form

Tottenham’s recent form in the Premier League is poor. Their current run of DLL reflects 0 wins from 3, with 1 draw and 2 defeats. They have yet to score a goal and have conceded 5, averaging 0.0 for and 1.7 against per match. They have managed 1 clean sheet away from home but have failed to score in all three fixtures, underlining the extent of their attacking struggles.

Everton Recent Form

Everton’s recent form is much more encouraging. Their WDD sequence shows an unbeaten start with 1 win and 2 draws from 3 matches. They are averaging 1.7 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game, with a late-scoring trend—60% of their goals coming in the 76–90 minute window. They have yet to fail to score in a league match this season and have one clean sheet to their name.

Tottenham Possible Starting Lineup

With no confirmed lineup data for this fixture, Tottenham’s likely squad core could feature: B. Austin or M. Dúbravka (GK); defenders such as Pedro Porro, A. Robertson, M. Senesi, D. Udogie, J. van Hecke, M. van de Ven; midfield options including R. Bentancur, L. Bergvall, Mateus Fernandes, C. Gallagher, M. Kudus, J. Maddison, X. Simons, S. Tonali; and attacking choices like Omar Marmoush, Richarlison, D. Solanke, M. Tel.

Tottenham have predominantly used a 4-2-3-1 shape this season, which suits their mix of creative midfielders and versatile forwards. The key tactical question is how aggressively they set up, given their failure to score so far. Expect emphasis on creative profiles like J. Maddison and M. Kudus to unlock Everton’s back line, while full-backs such as Pedro Porro and D. Udogie provide width. Defensive balance will be critical against an Everton side that finishes games strongly.

Everton Possible Starting Lineup

Everton also favour a 4-2-3-1 structure. Likely key figures from the squad list include J. Pickford (GK); defenders J. Branthwaite, V. Mykolenko, J. Tarkowski, M. Keane or Elijah Xavier Campbell; midfielders K. Dewsbury-Hall, J. Garner, J. Grealish, H. Hackney, C. Nørgaard; and attacking options such as T. Barry, T. Dibling, Tyrique George, B. Graham and B. Johnson.

With 5 goals scored and none of their league games ending without Everton finding the net, the visitors will likely lean on Hackney’s passing and Dewsbury-Hall’s energy to control midfield. Wide players like Johnson or Barry can stretch Tottenham’s back four, while the experienced spine of Tarkowski and Pickford provides stability. The late-goal trend suggests Everton will be comfortable keeping the game tight before pushing harder in the final 20 minutes.

Betting Tips: Tottenham vs Everton

Exactly 3 distinct betting angles based on current stats, probabilities and market prices:

  • Result Tip: Everton or Draw (Double Chance). Predictions give Tottenham a 10% chance to win, with Everton and the draw both at 45%. The 1X2 market has Tottenham as slight favourites at around 1.95–2.05, while Everton are 3.60–3.86 and the draw 3.40–3.71. Given Tottenham’s 0 goals in 3 matches and Everton’s unbeaten WDD start, backing Everton to avoid defeat offers a more conservative angle than an outright away win, while still opposing the short home price.
  • Goals Tip: Under 3.5 Goals. Tottenham have seen under 3.5 in all 3 league games, scoring 0 and conceding 5. Everton average 1.7 scored and 1.0 conceded, with only one of their three matches requiring more than two total goals to cover their scoring rate. The prediction advice also leans towards Everton and under 3.5 goals. With the home side blunt in attack and Everton generally controlled, a relatively low-scoring contest is the logical expectation. Use the closest under 3.5 line available in your book’s goals market.
  • Value Tip: Everton to Score in Second Half. Everton’s goals distribution shows a strong late-game trend, with a significant share (60%) of their league goals arriving between 76–90 minutes. Tottenham, meanwhile, concede consistently across all phases, including late on. While specific odds for this prop are not listed, the main 1X2 market has Everton as clear underdogs at 3.60–3.86, implying roughly 25.9–27.8% win probability. Markets tied to Everton scoring in the second half are likely to be more generously priced than their underlying scoring record suggests, offering potential value for bettors targeting time-based goal markets.
