Everton vs Brighton Prediction

Everton Form

Everton have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Luton, before claiming 3 points in a 1-0 win against Sheffield United. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. Everton won five of their last six Premier League matches at Goodison Park, scoring eight and conceding three along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

Brighton go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in an international tournament.

Brighton Form

A draw is all that prevents Brighton from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Newcastle as the match ended 1-1 before getting trounced against Chelsea by a 1-2 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Manchester United won the game and the exact score was 0-2. Brighton came through their last six away games in the Premier League without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew three and lost three in which, they were outscored by ten goals to three.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Brighton might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Everton and Brighton both came away with a point in their two meetings, which both fizzled out in a tight 1-1 draw. With such a good reading on each other, the draw could easily come into question again this coming Saturday.
