Tottenham's consistent shot volume despite a goal drought and Everton's effective scoring despite less possession suggest both teams will score. Everton's porous defence and Tottenham's recent head-to-head success support this balanced BTTS prediction.
A 1-1 draw fits Tottenham's high attempt rate against Everton's porous defence and Everton's steady scoring form. Historical trends are mixed, and the exact scoreline is fragile if either team scores twice or keeps a clean sheet.

Three Punchy Stats
- Tottenham have scored 0 goals in three Premier League matches, despite averaging 12.6 attempts across their last 10 league games. The volume exists; the conversion does not.
- Everton have scored 5 league goals this season to Tottenham’s 0, despite averaging only 44.2% possession across their last 10 league fixtures.
- Everton have lost five straight Premier League away games at Tottenham, but Spurs have won only once in their last 12 league matches at home — and that victory came against Everton.

Goals Conceded Comparison
Recent defensive records for Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are shown below.
Spurs have one point from three matches and are still waiting for their first league goal; Everton are unbeaten, have scored five times and arrive with five points.
The more revealing question is not simply whether Tottenham can end that drought. It is whether a side producing reasonable attacking volume can finally turn possession and attempts into something meaningful against visitors whose own defensive record is hardly watertight.
Tottenham’s problem is efficiency, not a lack of attempts
The 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest offered a neat summary of Spurs’ opening weeks. Roberto De Zerbi’s side had 59% possession and took 11 shots, yet failed to register one on target.
That lack of precision becomes more significant alongside their broader league record: three matches, no goals and five conceded. Tottenham have never opened a league season with four consecutive scoreless matches, so another blank would take them into unfamiliar territory.
Their longer-term numbers offer a little more context. Across the last 10 league games, Tottenham have averaged 12.6 attempts but only 3.8 shots on target and 0.8 goals. The issue is not that they are failing to shoot. Too little of that activity is becoming accurate finishing or goals.
There has been evidence that the attack can function in other settings — Spurs beat Charlton Athletic 5-1 — but Premier League opposition have so far shut them out completely.
Everton can punish wastefulness, but their defence invites pressure
Everton’s start has been far more productive. A 2-0 win over Crystal Palace was followed by draws with Bournemouth and Manchester United, leaving David Moyes’s side unbeaten after three league matches.
Their recent 10-game profile is particularly relevant here. Everton have averaged 1.5 goals despite seeing only 44.2% possession, while Tottenham’s 53.9% average possession has yielded just 0.8 goals. The contrast suggests Everton have been more effective at turning a smaller share of the ball into end product.
Yet the visitors are not arriving with a defensive record that should discourage Spurs. Everton have conceded an average of 1.8 goals from 15.2 opposition attempts over those 10 league games, compared with Tottenham’s 1.2 conceded from 11.8 attempts.
If Tottenham can reproduce the volume they usually generate, chances should be available. The doubt is whether they can make them count.
Selection issues deepen Spurs’ creative challenge
Tottenham’s attacking difficulties are complicated by absences. James Maddison returned to training before the Forest match but remained outside the squad and is still a doubt, while Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons continue recovering from knee injuries.
Mykhaylo Mudryk has also suffered an ankle problem expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks.
Everton have concerns of their own. James Garner is not yet completely back to full fitness, Christian Norgaard is out until October and Ainsley Maitland-Niles could again feature after scoring the 25-yard equaliser against Manchester United. Jack Grealish is also available to return.
History helps Spurs, recent travel form does not help Everton
The immediate head-to-head record favours the hosts. Tottenham have won the last two meetings without conceding, including a 1-0 home victory and a 3-0 away success, while Everton have lost five consecutive Premier League away games against Spurs.
There is another wrinkle, though. Tottenham’s only league home win and clean sheet across their last 12 top-flight matches came against Everton, while the visitors are winless in their last six league away games.
Spurs therefore have a favourable opponent historically, but they enter this meeting with the much more urgent attacking problem.
📊 Market Explainer
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Selection: Both Teams To Score YES. Both teams must score at least once during normal time. The match winner does not matter; the selection is settled only by whether each side finds the net.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton 1-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: Both Teams To Score YES @ 3/4
Tottenham host Everton searching for their first Premier League goal of the campaign, yet their underlying attempt volume provides a reasonable basis for expecting goals at both ends. Spurs have averaged 12.6 attempts across their last 10 league fixtures, showing that chance creation has not completely dried up despite a three-match goal drought. While missing offensive options such as Dejan Kulusevski and Mykhaylo Mudryk through injury, Roberto De Zerbi’s side still controlled 59% possession and registered 11 attempts in their recent scoreless draw at Nottingham Forest.
Everton present a contrasting profile that suits a combined goal market. David Moyes’s team has scored five goals across their opening three league fixtures despite averaging 44.2% possession over their last 10 matches. That relative effectiveness in front of goal suggests Everton can capitalise on a Tottenham defence that has allowed five goals in three league games. Conversely, Everton’s own defensive record remains porous, yielding an average of 1.8 goals from 15.2 opposition attempts over that same 10-game sample. When Spurs’ attempt volume meets an Everton backline that regularly concedes chances, a goal for the hosts becomes far more defensible.
The main hazard to this selection stems from Tottenham’s recent lack of target accuracy, having failed to test the goalkeeper with any of their 11 attempts against Forest. Additionally, Tottenham have won the last two head-to-head meetings with Everton without conceding. Nevertheless, given Everton’s steady scoring output alongside their tendency to face heavy shot counts on the road, both sides finding the net offers a balanced reading of this matchup.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Tottenham have averaged 12.6 attempts per game across their last 10 league fixtures despite failing to score in their opening three games.
- Everton have scored five goals in three league matches this season while averaging 44.2% possession across their last 10 league outings.
- Everton have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match from 15.2 opposition attempts across their last 10 league games.
Risk Factor: A third consecutive clean-sheet win for Tottenham against Everton, or Spurs failing to hit the target with shot volume, would cause this selection to lose.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Everton have scored 5 league goals while averaging only 44.2% possession over their last 10 games.
Tottenham have conceded 5 goals in 3 league matches while averaging 1.2 goals conceded over 10 games.
⚔️ Pick 2: Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton 1-1 @ 11/2
A 1-1 draw aligns with Tottenham’s attempt volume meeting Everton’s leaky backline, alongside Everton’s 1.5 goals-per-game average against a Spurs side struggling for clinical finishing.
Pinpointing a 1-1 draw requires clear evidence for exactly one goal from each side. Tottenham’s justification rests on their persistent attempt volume clashing with Everton’s backline numbers. Over their last 10 league matches, Spurs have averaged 12.6 attempts per game. Although they failed to score in their opening three league fixtures, facing an Everton defence that concedes an average of 1.8 goals from 15.2 attempts per match provides Spurs with their clearest opportunity yet to end their scoreless start.
Everton’s side of the 1-1 scoreline is supported by their early-season form and long-term goal rate. The visitors have scored five goals in three league games, including a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and a draw against Manchester United. Across their last 10 league fixtures, Everton have averaged 1.5 goals per match despite holding just 44.2% possession. Facing a Tottenham defence that has conceded five goals in three league matches, Everton possess a proven record of scoring without requiring prolonged spells of control.
Historical trends offer mixed signals; Everton have lost five straight away games at Spurs and are winless in six on the road overall, while Tottenham’s only home league win in their last 12 came against Everton. While a 1-1 outcome reflects two teams balancing high attempt volume against poor conversion and defensive vulnerability, any exact-score selection is inherently fragile and fails if either team manages a second goal or keeps a clean sheet.
Risk Factor: An exact 1-1 scoreline fails if Tottenham keep a clean sheet or either side scores twice.
