Everton F.C. are not stronger than the hosts to the extent that they can be considered clear favorite in their coming outing. The ‘Toffees’’ tally counts just 5 points more than the opponent’s, and their away performance is actually bleak. The team got only 2 wins on their travels – one being against the Leicester City who were finishing the game in 10, and the other against the outsider Burnley. Everton’s December record is not impressive – they featured a solitude win in 6 fixtures. By all means, the ‘Toffees’’ calendar was tough, but they failed to get a home win even over Newcastle United and Watford.
Everton’s away Burnley beatdown lowered the odds on their victory over Brighton, but the favorite of the Saturday clash are still difficult to define. The guests were lucky to make fast goals in their last fixture, which enabled them to beat the opponent after all. The same scenario will not be possible against Brighton tomorrow. The hosts are fine with playing second, and they can ‘park the bus’, if needed. Such a play provides consistent results. At this, Brighton were effective in all their home matches in this campaign, scoring to the top-six representatives there as well. The guests, however, played only 1 outing ‘to nil’. The ‘Toffees’ will most likely allow on Saturday, but will they score 2 goals and more? We doubt. In the last season, the guests got 3 away wins, their present campaign performance in outings also leaves much to be desired. So, the 2.20 odds on Everton’s win over the opponent showing quality home play are overestimated.
Prediction for the match: Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. to win or Draw.
