The presentation of Everton in the Premiership is not so good, but in the Europa League the team shows more than a stable game. That can be seen easily as they have no loss in their first five matches of the group stage and managed to win both games against Wolfsburg, which by the way is in an extremely good condition at the moment. So that is how the boys of Roberto Martinez secured a place in the next phase of the tournament.
In the last match in front of their own audience Everton accepts Krasnodar. The Russian team has nothing to play for since they have lost any chances of ranking ahead. However, the fact that the guests at today's match have not lost in their first matches against Everton and Lille should not be neglected. However, Krasnodar has experienced two heavy losses from Wolfsburg have taken away the chances for something better.
Krasnodar has no win in the group and there is no match without any goals scored in their door. Over the weekend, the team lost with 0:4 by Zenith in the local championship thus they had the third defeat in their last four visits in all tournaments. Krasnodar has had a total of 17 goals scored in their door, in the last nine matches. That is not a good index at all.
In turn, the coach of the hosts Roberto Martinez will certainly keep the core players in that match and give a chance to players who rarely take part into the starting lineup. Such are the young blooming players: Thys Browning, Luke Back and even the captain of the junior national team of England (up to 17 year-old) Ryan Ledson. We can add to the list also Aruna Cone and Christian Atsu, who will certainly want to show the manager that there is a bright future ahead of Everton.
The team has no loss in the last five home games in all tournaments and will try to end the match properly in front of their own audience, in this phase of the Europa League. Krasnodar on the other hand is a mediocre guest, so in this match a home win seems the most logical choice for each punter.
