Everton vs Brentford Match Preview And Prediction
Everton vs Brentford: Five straight Premier League games have seen Brentford go undefeated. Liverpool, Everton’s fiercest city rivals, presented a difficult challenge on Wednesday. Seven days ago, Yoanne Wissa finished with a brace in the 5-1 hammering of Luton Town.
On Saturday afternoon, Everton will resume their fight for survival in the elite tier. Gameweek No. 35 will see them at Goodison Park against Brentford. Although both teams had a successful weekend last weekend, the visitors had a whole week off. On Wednesday night, Everton was required to play Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. Will Saturday’s weariness be a factor?
Seven days ago, Everton defeated direct relegation rivals Nottingham Forest at home with a huge three-pointer. In a contentious victory, Dwight McNeil and Idrisa Gueye scored goals. Nottingham Forest repeatedly called for penalties, but the referee never raised his hand to signal a foul.
With a string of dismal performances from the year’s beginning, Brentford sort of found itself in the relegation struggle. But victories against Luton and Sheffield United back-to-back sent them in the right direction. The Bees are currently nine points outside of the relegation zone and five points ahead of Everton.
Everton vs Brentford: Betting Analysis
In September of last year, Everton won the rematch at Gtech Community Stadium 3-1. In their past eight home games against the Bees, the Toffees have five victories and three defeats. In the previous five meetings between the two sides, all but one were on target.
Everton has performed admirably at Goodison over the past few months. Out of the five prior home affairs, they had only lost one. Nevertheless, for a number of reasons, we are not overly bullish about their chances in this game. First of all, this game will heavily factor in weariness.
There is not enough depth in Sean Dyche’s squad to play at a Saturday-Wednesday tempo. Three days ago, Everton faced off against bitter rivals Liverpool in a very challenging contest. Second, even though the Toffees defeated Nottingham Forest with a clean sheet last weekend, their defense did not appear to be up to par.
Finally, following their 5-1 thumping of Luton the previous Saturday, Brentford is on a high. At the enticing 2.87 odds, we will support the visitors to win the league for the third time in a row. Under Thomas Frank, Brentford has been playing football with an offensive mentality lately. Seven of their last nine league games have seen goals on both sides.
Everton vs Brentford: Head-To-Head
Who will win the match between Everton and Brentford
Though it’s hard to declare a clear winner in this match, we believe that Brentford and Everton should both be able to find the back of the goal. It should contain very little, and a draw seems like a quite reasonable outcome. For this reason, we have projected a close contest that ends in a draw.
