Saturday’s football game at Amex Stadium pits together Brighton and Everton, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Brighton are eyeing a spot in European competitions, while Everton are fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. Even though all Solly March, James Milner, Julio Enciso, and Joao Pedro are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as Roberto De Zerbi can count on key players for Saturday’s encounter.
The Toffees, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Crystal Palace on Monday evening, but that did not help them escape the danger zone. As Everton have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. The likes of Arnaut Danjuma, Andre Gomes, and Dele Alli are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
How the bookies view it
Despite being separated by 15 points in favour of the visitors, Brighton are favourites and are 5/4 with Tonybet. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are 5/2 with BetSo88 and the draw can be backed at 9/4 with Tonybet.
Recent head to heads
Everton won an entertaining clash 4-2 at Goodison Park this season back in October with James Rodriguez netting a double. It was a home win apiece last season and Everton haven’t won on their last three visits to the AMEX.
Players to watch
Danny Wellbeck has scored in his last two games for the Seagulls, including against former club Manchester United and there could be some value in backing him at 5/2 with 888Sport.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a hatful of chances against Palace in Everton’s last game, but that wasn’t like him and an impressive tally of 23 goals in 39 games for club and country tells you all you need to know. He’s scored 34 per cent of Everton’s league goals this term and is 41/20 to score at Brighton anytime with BS88.
Recent Meetings
Everton shockingly celebrated a demolishing 5-1 victory when they last visited The AMEX in May last year.
These two outfits shared spoils in a 1-1 stalemate in this season’s return game played in November last year at Goodison Park.
Both teams were on target in each of the previous four head-to-head encounters.
Brighton vs Everton Prediction
We have a pretty clear picture going into this tie. Brighton enter this in the highest of spirits after a 5-0 thumping of Sheffield United six days ago at Bramall Lane. The situation with sidelined players is much better at the moment for Roberto De Zerbi.
The team’s displays suddenly look much more promising. Brighton are also unbeaten in the last eleven home outings across competitions. They bagged four goals in two of the last three home matches in the Premier League, a run that involves a 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in late-December.
Everton are not pulling up any trees. They did not look great in the 1-1 draw to Crystal Palace on Monday. The home win is the only logical betting option and you can back it at the 1.83 odds.
Brighton are scoring for fun these days. Although Everton are by no means an attacking-minded side, the fact that both teams scored in each of the last four H2H affairs between these rivals adds to the appeal of the Over 2.5 goals FT bet. This pick is paid at the 1.66 odds.
