Everton – Stoke City; tip: Handicap – Stoke City +1

Everton will face Stoke City on Monday 28 of December.

I have watched the games of both teams in the last round. The guests seem stronger with better individual players like Afellay, Krkic, Shaqiri and Arnautovic. Stoke destroyed Manchester United (in very bad shape) in the last round.

On the other side, Everton won with a nice head goal in the last minute of the match against a struggling Newcastle.

Both teams are with equal points, but the away team is in better shape. Therefore I don’t see a reason not to back them with this handicap.
