Both Everton and Brentford are separated by just one point and one place heading into their Premier League clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Indeed, both teams are in eighth and ninth place respectively, and will be hoping for a late push for the European spots come the second half of the season.
Everton were victorious 2-0 away at Nottingham Forest last time out, while Brentford were held to a 0-0 draw by Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium. Nonetheless, we are hoping for more goals when they clash over the weekend.

Everton vs Brentford prediction: Toffees to leave Bees in sticky situation?
Key stats
- Everton’s last six home league games have alternated between winning and losing (W3, L3).
- Brentford have lost five of their last six away matches in all competitions.
- Everton are unbeaten in six previous H2Hs (W3, D3).
Correct score prediction: Everton 2-0 Brentford
Brentford tend to struggle away from home, despite beating Wolves 2-0 in their last away outing. The Old Gold are bottom of the league though on just three points, and Everton should provide a much sterner test on home soil.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Everton favourites with bookmakers
- HOME: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, Everton are favourites with bookmakers to claim all three points on home soil. A draw and a Brentford win are separated by just 3%, and both can still be backed at over 30%.
