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 for both ends of the table. The hosts are stuck in the bottom three after three games, while Everton have started brightly and arrive in London unbeaten. With the home crowd demanding a response and the visitors eyeing a statement away result, this has all the ingredients of a tense, tactical contest.

From a standings perspective, Tottenham sit 18th with just 1 point and a goal difference of -5, having failed to score in any of their opening three matches. Everton, by contrast, are 8th on 5 points, with a positive goal difference and a far more balanced profile at both ends of the pitch. For Spurs, this is about kick-starting their season and easing early relegation chatter; for Everton, it is an opportunity to consolidate a promising start and prove their improved resilience travels.

Historically, Tottenham have enjoyed this fixture in north London, but current form and early-season numbers suggest a far more even encounter than the league table alone might indicate. Bettors and fans alike will be weighing up Tottenham’s strong home H2H record against Everton’s superior recent form and attacking output.

Tottenham vs Everton Key Stats

• Tottenham are 18th in the Premier League with 1 point from 3 matches, scoring 0 and conceding 5.
• At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs beat Everton 1-0 in their most recent meeting on 24 May 2026 in the Premier League.
• Across 3 league matches this season, Everton have scored 5 goals (1.7 per game) and conceded 3 (1.0 per game), while Tottenham have failed to score and average 1.7 goals conceded per match.

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 (tournament statistics), Everton 1 (tournament statistics)

After three Premier League fixtures in 2026, Tottenham’s numbers are stark. They have taken just one point from a possible nine, with a goal difference of -5 and no goals scored. Their overall record reads 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, with 0 goals for and 5 against. At home, they have played once, losing 0-2, while away they have drawn once and lost once, still without finding the net.

Everton’s early-season profile is far more encouraging. They are unbeaten with 1 win and 2 draws from 3 matches, scoring 5 and conceding 3. At Goodison Park they have taken 4 points from 2 games (4 scored, 2 conceded), and away from home they drew their only outing 1-1. Both sides have kept one clean sheet in their 2026 Premier League campaigns so far, but Everton’s attacking threat and Tottenham’s complete lack of goals underline why the visitors look the more settled side at this stage.

Tottenham vs Everton Key Matchups

D. Udogie vs H. Hackney

With no top scorers listed for either side, the battle between Tottenham’s D. Udogie and Everton’s creative midfielder H. Hackney stands out. Udogie has featured in all three league games for Spurs, logging 92 minutes with 1 yellow card. Defensively, he has 1 tackle and 1 interception, alongside 14 duels with 7 won, indicating he is heavily involved in one‑v‑one situations on his flank. On the ball, 50 passes at 88% accuracy and 1 key pass suggest he can contribute to build-up when Spurs manage to establish territory.

Hackney, meanwhile, has quietly been one of Everton’s most efficient performers. In 3 appearances (122 minutes), he has delivered 1 assist and 3 key passes from midfield, with 75 total passes at an impressive 89% accuracy. He has also contributed defensively with 3 tackles, 2 blocks and 2 interceptions, plus 14 duels and 3 fouls drawn. This matchup pits Udogie’s physical, up‑and‑down role against Hackney’s ability to progress play and find pockets of space. If Hackney can pull Udogie out of position and exploit Spurs’ shaky defensive structure, Everton will create chances.

B. Johnson vs Tottenham’s back line

On the Everton side, B. Johnson is another key figure. The attacker has played 3 times (100 minutes), with 1 shot, 2 key passes and 22 completed passes at 77% accuracy. While he has yet to register a goal or assist, his 4 fouls committed and 12 duels show he is an aggressive, disruptive presence in the final third. Tottenham’s defensive unit, which has already conceded 5 goals in 3 matches, will need to handle his direct running and physicality.

Given Spurs’ biggest defeats so far have been 0-2 at home and 3-0 away, their back line has struggled once opponents build momentum. Johnson’s willingness to press and stretch defences could exacerbate that, especially if Tottenham push full-backs high in search of their first goal of the season.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

Recent history between these sides has been dominated by Tottenham, particularly in London, although Everton have had their moments at Goodison Park. The fixture has often produced goals, with only one of the last five meetings finishing without both teams scoring.

• 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 of narratives. Tottenham’s historical dominance at home in this fixture contrasts sharply with their current malaise: no wins, no goals and two defeats from three league games. Everton, by contrast, arrive unbeaten, averaging 1.7 goals scored and just 1 conceded per match. The comparison model rates Everton clearly higher in recent form and attacking strength, while Tottenham’s defensive index lags behind.

The probability model gives Tottenham only a 10% chance of victory, with a 45% chance of a draw and 45% for an Everton win. That points towards a tight, low‑scoring contest where the visitors are at least as likely as the hosts to take all three points. Tottenham’s inability to score so far, combined with Everton’s decent defensive record and tendency to spread their goals across the second half, hints at a cautious opening and a game decided by small margins.

Predicted Score: Tottenham 0-1 Everton

Tottenham Recent Form

Tottenham’s recent form in the Premier League is poor. They have taken just one point from three matches, with a record of 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, and a goal difference of 0-5. Their form string is built on back‑to‑back losses followed by a draw, underlining a side that has struggled at both ends of the pitch. They have failed to score in all three fixtures and conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game.

Everton Recent Form

Everton’s recent form is solid and consistent. They are unbeaten in three league matches with 1 win and 2 draws, scoring 5 and conceding 3. Their pattern is built around a win followed by two draws, reflecting a team that is hard to beat and capable of finding goals, particularly late in games. An average of 1.7 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per match highlights a balanced, competitive start.

Tottenham Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players (by position): GK B. Austin or M. Dúbravka; Defenders Pedro Porro, A. Robertson, M. Senesi, D. Udogie, J. van Hecke, M. van de Ven; Midfielders R. Bentancur, C. Gallagher, J. Maddison, X. Simons, S. Tonali, M. Kudus, L. Bergvall; Forwards Richarlison, D. Solanke, Omar Marmoush, M. Mudryk, M. Tel.

Tottenham have consistently used a 4-2-3-1 setup in their three league games, and the squad profile supports that shape again. With several creative midfielders such as J. Maddison, X. Simons and M. Kudus, plus multiple centre-forward options in Richarlison and D. Solanke, Spurs have enough attacking talent on paper to end their scoring drought. The key tactical question is balance: the back four, including options like M. Senesi, M. van de Ven and D. Udogie, must be better protected by the double pivot (potentially S. Tonali and R. Bentancur) if Spurs are to avoid being exposed in transition.

Everton Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players (by position): GK J. Pickford; Defenders J. Tarkowski, J. Branthwaite, V. Mykolenko, M. Keane or Elijah Xavier Campbell; Midfielders J. Garner, K. Dewsbury-Hall, H. Hackney, C. Alcaraz, J. Grealish, C. Nørgaard; Forwards T. Barry, T. Dibling, B. Graham, B. Johnson.

Everton have also favoured a 4-2-3-1 structure, which suits their blend of solid centre-backs like J. Tarkowski and J. Branthwaite with a technically strong midfield unit. H. Hackney’s passing and chance creation from deeper areas, combined with the work rate of players such as J. Garner and K. Dewsbury-Hall, give them control in central zones. In attack, wide and support forwards like B. Johnson and T. Barry offer movement and pressing, which could unsettle a fragile Tottenham defence, especially if Everton target the spaces behind advanced full-backs.

Betting Tips: Tottenham vs Everton

Exactly 3 market angles stand out based on form, probabilities and available odds.

• Result Tip: Everton or Draw (Double Chance). With Tottenham given only a 10% win probability and Everton rated at 45%, the visitors are at least as likely to avoid defeat as Spurs are to win. The market, however, still makes Tottenham slight favourites, with home-win odds ranging from 1.95 to 2.05 (implied 48.8%–51.3%), while away-win prices sit between 3.60 and 3.86 (implied roughly 25.9%–27.8%). Taking Everton on the safer double-chance line looks a sensible way to back their unbeaten form against a goal-shy home side.
• Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. Tottenham have played 3 league games without scoring, and all three have finished under 3.5 goals. Their goals-for average is 0.0, while Everton concede just 1.0 per match. The prediction advice also leans towards a low-scoring contest (“Everton and -3.5 goals”). With Spurs struggling in attack and Everton unlikely to overcommit away from home, backing a relatively tight game under the higher 3.5 line offers a cushion against a 2-1 or 3-0 type scoreline. Exact odds for this market are not listed here, but they will typically be shorter than even money given the underlying stats.
• Value Tip: Everton Draw No Bet. Everton’s 45% win probability versus market away odds of 3.60–3.86 (implied 25.9%–27.8%) suggests their outright price may be on the generous side. To reduce risk, the Draw No Bet angle lets you side with Everton’s superior form and attacking numbers (5 goals scored, none of their matches lost) while getting stakes returned if the game ends level. Given Tottenham’s 0 goals in 3 and their defensive fragility, this line offers an appealing balance of upside and protection.
