Everton vs Brentford: Top Two Tips
Premier League predictions for Everton's big game against Brentford at Goodison Park this weekend. The Toffees simply have to win their home games while they struggle for results on the road this season and failure to win matches like this one against mid-table Brentford will only lead to relegation this season.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Everton vs Brentford prediction is for both teams to score on Saturday. Both teams have found the back of the net in each of the last three meetings between these two clubs, and we're expecting more of the same this weekend. Everton's last game away at Nottingham Forest ended in a 2-2 draw, while each of Brentford's last three fixtures have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Everton vs Brentford prediction surrounds the total goals scored during the 90-minutes. We're predicting goals in this game as Everton have to push for a win and Brentford will see 3pts as a very realistic goal, so this should be a fairly open match. Two of the last three encounters between these two clubs have produced over 4.5 goals, with Everton winning 4-1 in the FA Cup in 2022 and the Bees claiming a 3-2 win at Goodison Park in the league that same year. The Toffees' last tow matches have produced over 2.5 goals and the same can be said for two of Brentford's last four outings.

Everton vs Brentford Lineups
Everton
The Toffees will have been very disappointed not to have picked up a win at The City Ground last weekend. Gray converted a 10th-minute penalty to give Everton the lead but Johnson equalised in the 19th-minute. Everton went back in front before the break, Doucoure heading home from close range just before the half-hour mark. Dyche's men didn;t put in the same kind of performance in the second forty-five and it cost them as Johnson scored his second of the game to make the final scoreline 2-2.
Townsend, Patterson, Mykolenko and Calvert-Lewin are all doubts for this weekend's big match against Brentford.
Predicted Lineup – Pickford (GK), Coleman, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Keane, Gueye, Doucouré, Onana, Iwobi, Gray & McNeil
Brentford
Brentford secured all 3pts at home to Fulham on Monday night, taking the lead after just 6-minutes through Pinnock. Fulham got back onto level terms before the break but a penalty from Toney put the Bees back in front in the 53rd-minute. Brentford needed a third goal 5 minutes from time to secure the 3pts, Jensen putting the ball into the back of the Fulham net, as their guests scored with the last kick of the game to make the final scoreline 3-2.
Thomas Strakosha is the only injury concern for the visitors this weekend having picked up an ankle injury in February.
Predicted Lineup – Raya (GK), Mee, Henry, Pinnock, Hickey, Nørgaard, Jensen, Damsgaard, Toney, Wissa & Mbeumo
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Demarai Gray
Gray top scores for Everton this season with just 4 league goals and against Nottingham Forest he caused some real problems.
Since Dyche took charge, Gray has struggled for game time with many sighting the former Leicester man's work rate as an issue but Gray put in a real shift against Forest, got a goal and contributed far more than Maupay has all season long.
If the Toffees are going to secure the win they really need this weekend then we are sure that Gray will play his part. The winger has been moved more centrally in the past and that is where he played against Forest at the weekend. His pace and movement help him get into some great positions for the Toffees and while he isn't the most clinical in front of goal, he's the best chance Everton have of goals while Calvert-Lewin is injured.
