The Daily Acca: Everton and Spurs to play out a draw at Goodison

Premier League stalwarts to share the points

Bet 1: Back The Draw in Everton v Tottenham @ 13/5 - KO 16:00 GMT

The hosts are in the midst of a relatively poor run of form as while away defeats at Anfield and the Etihad can be excused, they drew at home to both Newcastle and Watford too.

Marco Silva's men have only been beaten once at Goodison Park this season though - and that was back in September. They have drawn three times though, with points dropped against the two named clubs above, as well as Huddersfield.

Tottenham have the chance to pull five points clean of Chelsea with a win and also close the gap on Man City in second to just two points. They are back in the groove again, as not only have they won three on the bounce in the league, they have made it through in the Champions League and are also in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.

Spurs have done really well on their travels this term - losing just twice away from Wembley in the league - but this will be a tough test, and they have played a lot of football recently. A draw feels like the right call here.

Hoffenheim to let down odds-on backers

Bet 2: Back Mainz and Draw @ 6/4 - KO 17:00 GMT

Hoffenheim are the hot favourites for this match but I certainly don't want to be backing them at the prices. They haven't won a game of any nature since their 2-1 success over Augsburg back on the second Saturday of November, and since then they have played seven times.

They are unbeaten in nine in the Bundesliga, but the last five were all draws - including their last two on this ground. In fact, they have won just three of eight in front of their own fans this year.

Mainz 05 are in 12th place and while they have gone three without a win, only one of those was a defeat - and that was away at RB Leipzig.

The visitors have actually won two of their last three on the road, and while we don't need them to pick up all three points this afternoon, I don't think that they will come away empty-handed.

Goals galore in La Liga

Bet 3: Back Over 2.5 Goals in Rayo Vallecano v Levante @ 6/10 - KO 17:30 GMT

Rayo Vallecano are second from bottom of La Liga - six points adrift of safety. They have lost their last three in all competitions - all of which were to nil.

Levante were outclassed by Barcelona last Sunday, and although that is to be expected, they have now conceded nine goals in their last two fixtures.

I'm expecting more goals here as six of Vallecano's eight home games this year have seen this selection land, while the same can be said for five of Levante's five on their travels.

The hosts are desperate for the points, and while the visitors are the better side, they have had defensive issues of late. Goals should be on the menu.
