Everton vs Brentford Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 9, 2023

Everton vs Brentford
English Premier League
Date: 11 March 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Goodison Park (Liverpool).

Everton host Brentford in Gameweek No 27 on Saturday afternoon at Goodison Park. The Toffees took just one point in the previous three league games and are still inside the bottom-three of the Premier League standings.

Sean Dyche’s men looked decent in the last weekend’s 2-2 stalemate at The City Ground. The team’s offensive display against Nottingham Forest gives Dyche and his troops confidence ahead of the crucial part of the campaign in the relegation battle.

The home clash against Brentford will represent a serious test for Everton consider the Bees’ recent form.

The visitors are unbeaten in 13 straight Premier League games, extending this streak on Monday night with a 3-2 home win over top-half rivals Fulham.

Head coach Thomas Frank has found a phenomenal formula with this Brentford team and it is very hard not to consider the Bees clear favorites against the relegation-threatened rival at Goodison Park.

Everton still have the joint-worst attacking record in the league with 19 goals scored in 26 games, despite netting twice on Sunday at The City Ground.

Knowing how good the Bees have been defensively throughout the whole campaign, we are worried about the Toffees’ attacking prospects here.

Everton vs Brentford Head-to-head

• Brentford lead the head to head tie by 4 wins going into the 16th encounter against the Toffees.
• Everton managed to hold on to a 1-1 stalemate when they visited Gtech Community Stadium in the first part of the season.
• Both teams scored in five of the previous six head to head encounters.

Everton vs Brentford Prediction

Everton were supposed to fix their defensive issues with the arrival of Sean Dyche but they did not look impressive at the back by any means in the last three rounds. The Toffees allowed eight goals in the previous three league outings against Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest.

Brentford have an excellent firepower on display in the final third as their attacking line is led by the league’s third-top scorer Ivan Toney. We’ll back the away win at the 2.75 odds as well as Ivan Toney to score anytime at the 2.87 odds.

Everton vs Brentford Betting Tips

• Brentford to win @ 2.75 (7/4)

• Ivan Toney to score anytime @ 2.87 (15/8) odd.
