Everton vs Southampton: pre-game Analysis and Forecast

With the upcoming match between Everton and Southampton, playing in Premier League England on 2025-05-18, FootballResults24.co.uk prepared an analysis for this fixture, with head to head stats and match results based on Premier League results.

Everton and Southampton face-off for one final time as part of the Premier League season on May 18th at Goodison Park and this game promises huge ramifications. Both sides have seen ups and downs throughout this campaign; making this match important in securing their positions within the league.

Pre-game Form

Everton’s recent form at home has been a mixed bag, with performances that both encourage and raise concerns. Their last five matches on home turf have ended in draws against Ipswich Town (2-2) and Manchester United (2-2), and similar stalemates were seen against Arsenal and West Ham United, both ending 1-1. However, a disappointing 0-2 loss to Manchester City reveals inconsistencies in their defence and attack that they’ll be desperate to address before facing Southampton.

On the other hand, Southampton’s form while playing away from home leaves much to be desired. Their recent outings have resulted in a series of defeats against tough opponents including Leicester City (2-0), Tottenham Hotspur (3-1), Liverpool (3-1), and a punishing 4-0 defeat by Chelsea. A solitary draw against West Ham United (1-1) hardly inspires confidence, highlighting a vulnerability on the road that Everton will be keen to exploit.
