Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they welcome Everton to the Amex Stadium for a Premier League fixture. The Seagulls looked imperious in their previous fixture and should have the upper hand over their troubled visitors.
Brighton were in rampant mood last time out in the Premier League as they ran out 5-0 winners at Sheffield United. Simon Adingra netted a brace while Facundo Buonanotte and Danny Welbeck were also on target.
That result is part of Brighton’s recent resurgence as they have won two of their last three Premier League matches. However, Roberto De Zerbi’s men are still well off the European places as they sit nine points behind fifth placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Brighton have done some good work at the Amex Stadium this season and are unbeaten in their last 11 home matches across all competitions. The Seagulls claimed a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Everton travel to the Amex Stadium in the middle of a rough patch having picked up just one win from their last 11 matches across all competitions. Sitting 17th on the standings, Sean Dyche’s men are only above the bottom three on goal difference.
A small positive for Everton is that they have avoided defeat in a number of fixtures lately having played out three draws in their last four matches. They played out a 1-1 scoreline with Crystal Palace in their previous Premier League fixture with Amadou Onana netting a late equaliser.
Everton have also found things difficult on their recent travels as they are winless in their last five away matches. The Toffees have also struggled for goals on the road, failing to score in the last four fixtures in that run.
How the bookies view it
Brighton are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 17/20 by 10bet. A victory for Everton is valued at 13/4 by Unibet while William Hill is offering odds of 29/10 for a draw.
Head to head
Everton have a 10-5 advantage with six draws from 21 previous matches against Brighton. However, both teams battled to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in November.
Players to watch
Joao Pedro is the leading scorer for Brighton with eight Premier League goals and will be the one to watch on Saturday. The forward has also found the net four times in the last five matches across all competitions and is priced at 19/10 by bet365 to maintain his scoring run.
Given Everton’s goalscoring problems on their travels, Brighton will be targeting a shutout on Saturday. Lewis Dunk has impressed at the heart of the defence and can lead the Seagulls to a clean sheet at 2/1 with bet365.
Anything else catch the eye?
Brighton won to nil in their previous fixture and with Everton struggling for goals on their travels, a similar outcome could be considered at 5/2 with BoyleSports. They have also claimed a few one-sided wins in recent weeks, so a -1 handicap could be considered at 21/10 with BetVictor.
Brighton have scored in both halves in two of their last three matches and Saturday’s clash could be set for a similar pattern at 13/8 with bet365.
