Everton vs Brighton Preview
Everton
Sean Dyche deserves huge credit for the job that he has done at Everton during his stint on Merseyside. The Toffees did extremely well to secure their Premier League status last term, despite being handed points deductions on two separate occasions. Much of their success was down to their excellent defensive record, with no side in the bottom half conceding fewer goals than the Toffees.
However, they will likely need more from their attacking players this season, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin netting just seven times in the league last term. Iliman Ndiaye could be an excellent addition for Everton this term. He excelled in English football during his time with Sheffield United, netting 14 times in 46 Championship appearances in 2022-23.
Brighton
A new era gets underway at Brighton on Saturday as Fabian Hurzeler takes charge of the Seagulls for the first time. The coach will become the youngest in Premier League history, and he will be tasked with guiding the club back into Europe for the second time in three seasons.
Brighton have once again strengthened with some exciting young players this summer, with Yankuba Minteh already grabbing the attention after scoring in a recent 4-0 win against Villarreal. The Seagulls were excellent throughout their pre-season campaign, winning all five matches and scoring an impressive tally of 16 goals. That could be an important trend to consider when making an Everton vs Brighton prediction.

- Pick: Draw
- Odds: 3.56 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Everton 1-1 Brighton
Everton have gone three without defeat against the Seagulls, but it could be important to consider before making an Everton vs Brighton prediction that the Toffees are winless in their last three home matches against their rivals.
Therefore, a chance could be taken on the points being shared for the third successive time when these sides have collided.
Everton vs Brighton Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Dwight McNeil 1+ Shot On Target
- Odds: 2 (22Bet)
Everton’s lack of quality in the final third means that it could be worth taking a chance on a wide player being their prominent out-ball in an attacking sense this weekend.
Dwight McNeil was the man to stand up for the Toffees throughout last season, averaging 0.43 shots on target per match. This makes for an interesting angle in any Everton vs Brighton prediction this weekend.
