Everton vs Boreham Wood: the Toffees to lose a FA Cup match

Everton will face one of the weakest representatives of the FA Cup top 16, Boreham Wood. Will we see a Middlesbrough against Man United and Tottenham sensation, or will the Toffees easily qualify for the next round?

Everton has not improved since Frank Lampard was appointed. The Toffees have lost four of their last five games in the EPL. Since Lampard's arrival at the Merseyside club, Everton have won two of their five games, including a resounding 4-1 victory over Brentford in Lampard's FA Cup debut. Another success was against Leeds (3-0). The other three meetings with Newcastle, Southampton, and Man City were defeats. In the last meeting with Man City, though, Everton nearly held on to a draw, but a goal by Foden in the 82nd minute broke the Toffees' plans. Judging by their last game against the Citizens, it looks like Everton are gradually getting back on their feet.

Boreham Wood is a representative of the fifth strongest English division, the National League of England. There, Boreham is fourth in the standings. The results of the last matches in the championship are inconsistent: two wins, one loss, and one draw. But they were low-scoring in terms of performance (no more than two goals per game).

As for the FA Cup, Boreham first knocked out Wimbledon (2-0). Then Bournemouth had the same fate (1-0). It should be noted that the Cherries possessed the ball 83% of the game time, took 18 shots, two of which were directed into the net. And Boreham in turn distinguished themselves with three strikes, only one of them hit the post. That is, there was only one shot on goal.

This team has gone through all the stages of hell, that is, all four rounds. In the first round, they defeated Eastleigh (2-0), and in the second round, they crushed St. Albans (4-0).

• Everton: Calvert-Lewin, Delph, Davies, Godfrey, van de Beek, El Ghazi, Alli, Sigurdsson;
• Boreham Wood: Orsi, Reckord.

We believe that Boreham Wood will be able to offer decent resistance to Everton. Although we doubt another sensation. Bet365 gives odds of 1.70 for the guests' victory with a plus handicap of 2.5 goals.

We also believe that Everton will dominate the field, as we will see from the corners. 22bet offers odds of 1.87 for the home team’s corner handicap (-5).

In conclusion, we want to draw your attention to a possible own goal, which can occur due to the difference in class. For this betting option, 1xbet gives a generous odds of 5.00.
