Everton take on Colombian side Millonarios in a Florida Cup 2021 game set to take place on Sunday in Orlando.

Meanwhile, Millonarios' have a healthy number of fixtures under their belt already. They are currently at the top of the league standings, accumulating six points from six games thus far.

The Colombians are 15-time Categoria Primera A champions and should prove to be tough opposition for the Toffees.

Everton vs Millonarios Prediction

Everton are playing their first pre-season game and might look rusty throughout the encounter. This will be Rafa Benitez's first match in charge and he will certainly be looking to start his tenure on a winning note.

Millonarios are a balanced outfit who have the ability to stage an upset, but ultimately Everton's quality should be enough to see them through.

Prediction: Everton 2-1 Millonarios
