The start of the new English Premier League season will be marked by the clash between Everton and Brighton at Goodison Park. “The Toffees, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are aiming for a successful start under Sean Dyche. “Brighton”, despite the slump at the end of last season, will try to prove their worth.

Odds for the match Everton – Brighton

Experts give a slight advantage to the home team. The odds for a win for the Toffees are in the range of 2.35 to 2.43. “Everton”, which last season for a long time balanced on the brink of the relegation zone, will try to please their fans with a victory at the start of the new championship.

At the same time, Brighton’s chances of an away win are rated only slightly lower. The odds on the success of the Seagulls range from 2.75 to 2.85. “Brighton” last season was a tough nut to crack for many favourites and will try to take away points from Goodison Park.

The bookmakers also rate the chance of a draw quite high. The odds for a draw are 3.3 – 3.6. Given that these teams exchanged home wins in the last season, a draw in their opening game of the new season looks quite realistic.

Everton vs Brighton Match Prediction

Bookmakers give a slight preference to the home team. The odds on Everton’s victory range from 2.35 to 2.43, indicating a slightly higher chance of success for the Toffees. Playing at their Goodison Park stadium and with the support of their loyal fans, Everton will try to start the season with a win and make the fans happy with a bright game.

At the same time, Brighton should not be underestimated. “Seagulls” last season caused a lot of problems for the favourites and were famous for their organised game. The odds on an away win for the “albatrosses” are not much inferior – from 2.75 to 2.85. Brighton will do their best to take the points away from Liverpool and confirm their ambitions for a successful season.

The history of head-to-head meetings shows the approximate equality of rivals in recent matches. In the last 10 head-to-head matches, Everton won 4 times, Brighton won 3 times, and 3 more games ended in a draw. Interestingly, the last two meetings between the teams in the EPL did not reveal a winner – the rivals exchanged 1:1 draws.

To summarise, the most likely outcome of the match is either a minimal victory for Everton or a draw. “Toffees” will try to use the factor of their field and at the expense of activity and pressing to snatch three points. Brighton will do their best to counteract this, relying on counterattacks and standards. There will probably be few goals – 1-2 at most.

Recent official meetings

Everton

Everton finished the 2023/24 Premier League season having secured their stay in the elite division. In the last ten matches, the Toffees won five times, lost three times and drew twice.

The main success of Sean Dyche’s team was a winning streak of four matches in April. Everton beat Brentford (1-0), Liverpool (2-0), Nottingham Forest (2-0) and Sheffield United (1-0), which allowed the club to move away from the relegation zone and secure their position in the standings.

Also, it is worth noting the draw with Luton Town (1:1) and the victory over Burnley (1:0). These points became important in the context of the fight for survival and added confidence to Everton players.

However, it was not without setbacks. Major defeats to Chelsea (0:6) and Arsenal (1:2), as well as a disappointing 1:2 loss to Bournemouth, showed that the Toffees still have work to do, especially in terms of defensive play.

In general, the season turned out to be difficult for Everton, but the team managed to cope with the main task – to keep a place in the Premier League. Now the Toffees need to try to consolidate in the middle of the standings, avoiding the fight for survival next season.

Brighton

In the last ten matches, the Seagulls have only one win, six defeats and three draws.

The only success of Roberto De Zerbi’s team was a minimal victory over Aston Villa (1-0). In the rest of the matches, Brighton looked faint and failed to provide worthy resistance to their opponents.

Especially painful were defeats from Manchester United (0:2), Chelsea (1:2), Manchester City (0:4) and Arsenal (0:3). In these matches, the Seagulls conceded a total of 11 goals, which indicates serious problems in defence.

Draws with Newcastle (1-1), Burnley (1-1) and Brentford (0-0) did not add positives either. Brighton missed an opportunity to gain important points and improve their league position.

Overall, the end of the season turned out to be disappointing for Brighton. The team, which had been fighting for a long time for a place in the European Cup, eventually slipped to the middle of the table.

History of head-to-head confrontations

Alternatively, Brighton boasts two impressive wins in January 2023 (4-1) and January 2022 (3-2). “Seagulls” showed that they can beat Everton even away and score a lot of goals.
