Everton’s hunt for a first Premier League win of the season takes them to Brentford on Saturday evening, as they face a Bees side looking to preserve their incredible home record of just one defeat in 12 months. It’s a tough test for Sean Dyche’s men, and another defeat will really put the pressure on the Toffee’s boss.
To help you enjoy the action, our betting experts have put together their betting bonus tip for the game. So read on to discover how you can make it a Saturday evening to remember!
Despite a first defeat of the season last weekend, it has been a positive start to the campaign for Brentford. They have looked solid in defence and are coping well with the absence of Ivan Toney from their attack.
As mentioned in our intro, the Bees home form has been truly stunning in recent months. They have lost just once since last September and can list victories over Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs during that run. Thomas Frank has turned the Community Stadium into a formidable fortress, and Everton will have their work cut out in getting anything from the game.
In contrast to Brentford, Everton have been in dire form at the start of the season. They’ve picked up just one point and two goals in their opening five games, and it already looks like being a long season for the Toffees.
Pressure is beginning to grow on manager Sean Dyche and he desperately needs a win to quell speculation about his future. A lack of creativity is the main cause of complaint among fans, if Dyche wants to remain in his role, he needs to find a solution to his side’s attacking woes.
The head to head between the sides is extremely close. Brentford hold a narrow 10-9 lead, but have only one one of the last four meetings with the Toffees. The most concerning stat for Everton is that they have not won away at Brentford since 1952.

Given their home form, it is unsurprising that Brentford are odds on favourites to win the game. Betting apps have the Bees priced at 17/20 for the win, with Everton at 18/5 and the draw best priced at 14/5.
Based on Everton’s form, it’s hard to put a case for anything other than a home win. But we’re going to stick our necks out and predict a draw. Brentford have drawn all three of their home games so far and we think that run will continue.
Whilst Everton only have one point, they have lost three games by a solitary goal. What’s more, they showed a strong fighting spirit in their last away game (a 2-2 against Sheffield United), which suggests an upturn in form could be just around the corner. The home side are slightly too short for three points, so are recommending the 14/5 on a draw.
