Everton face Brighton at Goodison on Saturday afternoon, in a contest that looks extremely tough to call. The Seagulls have stumbled in recent weeks, whilst Everton have made a strong recovery after a dreadful start to the season.
To help you make the most out of the latest sports betting odds for the match, our experts have put together an exclusive tip for the contest. So read on to find out how you can enjoy the game in style.
After just one point from their opening five games, the knives were sharpening for Toffees boss Sean Dyche. However, a run of three wins in five games has got Dyche’s side back on track and sparked hope that they can avoid yet another relegation scrap.
The 0-1 win at West Ham last time out was arguably the team’s best performance of the season. They limited the Hammers to few goalscoring chances and generally controlled the game comfortably. A similar display this weekend could see the Toffees make it four wins from six.
After a fantastic start to the campaign, just two points in their last four games have seen the Seagulls drop down to seventh place. Manager Roberto De Zerbi needs to quickly find a way for his squad to combine their Europa League campaign with their Premier League schedule. Last week’s 1-1 draw with Fulham encapsulated his problem. After a strong start to the game, the Seagulls fell away and allowed the Cottagers to claim a deserved point.
Brighton have won on their last two visits to Goodison, however, the Toffees thrashed them 1-5 when they met at the Amex in May. Brighton hold a 6-4 head-to-head lead in Premier League games between the sides, but Everton are 11-6 ahead in all games.
Brighton are priced as 5/4 favourites for the match. If you think Everton can secure a vital home win, you can back them at 11/5, with the draw priced at 3/1.
Our betting bonus tip for the game is for a draw. Everton are in the better form of the two teams, but Brighton have the stronger overall squad. We expect the Seagulls to put up a much stronger display than in recent games, but Everton are proving a tough nut to crack at the minute and we think they will have enough to claim a point.
