Everton and Brentford both find themselves in precarious positions coming into this Premier League matchup on November 23, 2024.
With historical results leaning slightly in Everton’s favor – they’ve won half of their past encounters while Brentford has managed only two victories – the Toffees have a slight edge, even if their current home form leaves much to be desired.
Brentford’s away struggles are even more pronounced, having failed to capture any points on the road this season.
While both teams have their flaws, previous encounters suggest a tendency for goals, given the average of 2.63 goals per game and both sides scoring in 63% of these matches.
This trend could continue, with Everton capitalizing on home advantage to edge a narrow triumph or possibly settle for a draw. In a tightly fought contest, expect Everton to leverage their past success against Brentford, but defensive frailties on both ends could certainly lead to surprises.
A low-scoring game seems plausible, and both teams may find the back of the net. Everton, looking slightly more favorable, could potentially come out with a vital win to lift their spirits in front of the Goodison Park faithful.
