Everton vs Manchester City: Prediction and Betting Tips

Everton to continue their home wins

Everton have reached this stage after three wins in the earlier rounds all of them at Goodison Park. In those three matches, The Toffees scored ten goals and conceded five with one clean sheet.

In the last round, Carlo Ancelotti’s men beat Tottenham in a fascinating game by a result of 5-4. After both teams shared eight goals between them during the 90 minutes, the match went into extra time and Everton came on the top after scoring the only goal in the 97th minute.

Winning the FA Cup five times in their history, Everton will feel they have a great chance of adding to that tally if they can eliminate Manchester City, the favorites to win it.

Manchester City expected to advance

The Citizens are still challenging in all four competitions they have taken part in so far this season(PL, UCL, EFL Cup, FA Cup). With the kind of form and self-confidence the players are enjoying recently, Pep Guardiola and the City fans must feel they are capable of winning a quadruple.

Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals after winning two away games and a game at home. They haven’t clashed with a Premier League side until this round. 

In the last round, City beat Swansea away from home 3-1. The Citizens were the dominant side throughout the game with 74% of ball possession and a staggering 776 passes.

Key Stats

• Everton have scored in all of their three home games in the FA Cup
• Man City have scored in all of their three away games in the FA Cup
• Both teams have one clean sheet in the FA Cup this season
• In the previous meetings between these two sides, BTTS has happened in 55% of their matches
• Over 2.5 goals have happened in the last three meetings between these two sides

Everton vs Manchester City Prediction

As we can see from their stats, both of these teams have scored in all their matches in the FA Cup this season. Additionally, in their head-to-head matches, they both scored in their last three meetings and six of their last seven games.

Although Manchester City have the best defensive record in the Premier League, Everton so often seems to find a way to score against The Citizens, Guardiola’s defense seems to be shaky in recent games as they have conceded six goals in five matches in the Premier League.

The odds for a BTTS in this match is 1.85 and we are backing it.
