Everton vs Peterborough Prediction, Lineups and Statistics: Toffees backed to return to winning ways

Everton will hope that the FA Cup third round acts as a welcome distraction following an underwhelming Premier League campaign which resulted in the sacking of Sean Dyche just hours before tonight's game.

The Toffees face League One strugglers Peterborough at Goodison Park on Thursday night, live on BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer.

Everton to win to nil is the first bet on the sheet at 7/5 with BetMGM. Everton's form has been very poor while their attack has been notably blunt. However, they can draw on a strong defence with seven clean sheets across their last 13 matches.

Thursday's opponents, Peterborough, are also in poor form, sitting 19th in League One after losing four of their last five matches, while they've lost seven of their last 10 on the road. With a leaky defence that has shipped 46 league goals, Peterborough may struggle to trouble Everton at Goodison Park. This should provide Everton’s misfiring attack with the perfect opportunity to regain confidence and secure a much-needed victory.

Beto To Score

19/10

Odds correct as of 2025-01-09 09:30 Odds subject to change.

With doubts surrounding the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja, interim managers Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman should turn to Beto to lead the line.

The striker has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League, netting just one goal this season. However, his performances in cup competitions have been a different story, with three goals in three games to his name.

Beto bagged a brace against Tranmere in the EFL Trophy and found the net in the 3-0 League Cup victory over Doncaster. These performances make him a strong candidate to continue his impressive cup form in the FA Cup.

At odds of 19/10 to score, Beto faces a Peterborough defence that has conceded in 17 of their last 18 matches across all competitions and is yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season. This sets the stage perfectly for the Everton forward to make his mark.
