Everton vs Brentford: Key Stats and Match Preview

• Everton will welcome Brentford to Goodison Park this weekend with high hopes, as they have won three of their last five encounters against the Bees across all competitions. In fact, the Toffees have been dominant at home, securing victories in their last three matches at Goodison Park. Given their strong home form and solid defense, it’s not surprising that many are backing Everton to edge past Brentford 1-0 this weekend.
• While Everton’s attack has been somewhat limited, their defense has been impressive recently, with the team keeping a clean sheet in their last three home games. This defensive solidity has been a key factor in their recent success, and with Brentford struggling to score away from home, the Toffees will look to capitalize on this advantage.
• In their last six meetings, four of the games have had fewer than 2.5 goals, and in seven of their previous encounters, the total goals scored were under 3. This suggests that another low-scoring affair could be on the cards.

Pre-Match Odds:

• Home win (Everton): 29/20 (2.45)
• Draw: 13/5 (3.60)
• Away win (Brentford): 19/10 (2.90)

Everton’s Form

The Toffees have been strong at home, winning their last three matches at Goodison Park. However, injuries to key players such as Nathan Patterson, Abdoulaye Doucouré, and Seamus Coleman could affect their lineup. Despite these setbacks, manager Sean Dyche will rely on his defensive organization and clinical finishing to secure all three points.

Expected Lineup for Everton:

• Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
• Defenders: Ben Godfrey, James Tarkowski, Yerry Mina, Jarrad Branthwaite
• Midfielders: Idrissa Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Dwight McNeil, James Garner
• Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jack Harrison

Brentford’s Form

Brentford comes into the match with an impressive defensive record on the road, having kept clean sheets in their last three away matches. However, they are likely to miss several key players, including Joshua Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, and Ben Mee due to injury. Additionally, Neil Maupay will be unavailable for the match against his parent club, though star striker Ivan Toney could make a return to the starting lineup.

Expected Lineup for Brentford

• Goalkeeper: Mark Flekken
• Defenders: Ethan Pinnock, Sergi Reguilón, Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey
• Midfielders: Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo
• Forwards: Ivan Toney, Yoane Wissa

Key Player to Watch

Dominic Calvert-Lewin Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in excellent form for Everton, scoring his sixth league goal of the season in their recent 2-0 victory over Liverpool. Despite some injury setbacks earlier in the campaign, Calvert-Lewin is showing signs of returning to his best, and he will be a key figure in Everton’s attack this weekend. His aerial ability and physicality could be crucial against Brentford’s defense.

Conclusion

With a solid home record and defensive resilience, Everton will go into this match as favorites, especially with Brentford missing several important players. A tight, low-scoring game seems likely, but Everton’s strength at Goodison Park could prove decisive. The Toffees are well-positioned to secure another home win, potentially with a 1-0 victory.
