Everton will be back on the road in the Premier League this weekend, as they continue their search for a first league win of the season. Brentford will be the hosts, as they bid to bounce back after suffering a first defeat of the season last Saturday.
Premier League Preview
Brentford’s unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season came to an end last weekend, but they will be hopeful of getting back on track this weekend. The Bees made a promising start to the new season after avoiding defeat across their opening four matches, but they were handed a first setback of the new campaign on Saturday, as they lost 1-0 against Newcastle.
Brentford were incredibly unlucky to lose that match, as the Newcastle penalty that allowed them to score the winner appeared incredibly harsh. The defeat was the first that Brentford had lost in their last eight matches, which ended the second-longest ongoing unbeaten streak in the Premier League. But, a return to winning ways this weekend could be on the cards.
Sean Dyche is coming under increasing pressure at Goodison Park, as Everton are still waiting for their first league win of the new season. The Toffees have gone five without a defeat at the start of the new season, and they have scored just twice across the fixtures that they have played.
Everton have lost four of their five matches this term, with the latest of those coming at home against Arsenal last weekend. The Toffees looked incredibly short of ideas in the final third of that fixture, and they appeared to be waiting for the Gunners to break them down after defending deep into their own half throughout the match.
Brentford vs Everton Head to Head
Everton picked up a 1-0 win at Goodison Park in the most recent clash between these two sides. That victory ended a three-game unbeaten run for Brentford. However, this exact fixture last term saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw.
Brentford vs Everton Prediction
There will be a lot of pressure on Everton this weekend, as they look to put a dismal start to the season behind them. However, we struggle to see them getting back on track, as the preference is for Brentford to maintain their excellent home record in this fixture.
