Brentford meanwhile, addressed their lingering relegation fears with a thumping 5-1 win over Luton last weekend and having put their feet up in midweek, they should have energy to burn at Goodison Park.

⚔️ Everton v Brentford Head-to-Head

Everton produced arguably their most convincing away performance of the campaign when they ousted Brentford 3-1 at The Gtech Community Stadium in September in a triumph that provided their first win of the new season.

Goals from Abdoulaye Doucouré, former Brentford defender James Tarkowski and Dominic Calvert-Lewin allowed the Toffees to prevail, Everton also outgunned the Bees by 18 shots to 12 and four corners to one.

21 fouls were committed and four cards (two each) were handed out in what was a keenly contested skirmish in West London, and Everton’s win was made all the more impressive by Brentford’s record of just one loss in 18 Premier League home fixtures before that.

Indeed, the Toffees have done well against Brentford in recent encounters, collecting seven points from the teams’ last three meetings overall, while their only defeat to the Bees in five editions of this fixture came when the Blues lost a five-goal thriller with nine men in May 2022.

Four of the last five meetings between Everton and Brentford have also featured goals from both teams, including two of their last three head-to-heads at Goodison Park.

Using the teams’ previous encounters as a blueprint, you can back an Everton double chance, both teams to score and over 11.5 Everton shots combination at an attractive price of 2.80 as a Bet Builder with bet365.

Backing Everton to score the game’s first goal on Saturday evening also stands out with plenty of appeal as a single bet at odds of 1.80 with bet365.

Everton managed to break the deadlock in each of their last five encounters with Brentford and in each of their last four Premier League fixtures at Goodison Park.

📊 Everton Form and Stats

Everton’s first Merseyside derby victory at Goodison Park in a decade was the Toffees’ just rewards for a barnstorming display against Liverpool and the massive dent they put in their rivals’ title dreams made the win all the sweeter for those of a blue persuasion.

Wednesday’s 2-0 triumph provided Everton’s third victory on the spin at Goodison Park and their seventh home clean sheet of the campaign, and only Newcastle (eight) have recorded more shutouts on home soil this season overall.

Goodison Park has been a tough venue to navigate for many visitors this season, as evidenced by Everton’s run of just three defeats in 13 Premier League assignments there.

The Toffees’ good results have generally been built on solid foundations this term; of the 11 Premier League victories they’ve earned in 2023/24, nine were accompanied by a clean sheet.

Indeed, despite their tag as relegation contenders, Everton hold the division’s fourth-best defensive record at present, while only six clubs in the top tier have conceded fewer shots on target than the Blues (142).

Everton have also been making good use of set piece opportunities at the other end – a formula that has long been a big part of the Sean Dyche playbook – and only Arsenal (19) have scored more goals this season from set piece situations than the Toffees (17).

However, Everton’s (36) prowess in the final third has been limited overall and only Chris Wilder’s doomed Sheffield United (33) have plundered fewer goals.

📊 Brentford Form and Stats

Despite missing the talismanic services of injured star striker Ivan Toney, Brentford enjoyed their biggest win of the season and their biggest away victory in England’s top tier ever with a 5-1 demolition job on Luton last weekend.

The victory – the Bees’ second on the trot – pushed their unbeaten stretch to five games overall, while their wide-margin win at Kenilworth Road also saw Brentford lodge an xGF figure of 3.0 or more for the second time in five assignments.

Only bottom club Sheffield United (13) have lost more often on the road than Brentford (11) this season, though a haul of four points and eight goals from their last two away tests at Aston Villa (3-3) and Luton (5-1) was a welcome break from the norm.

Despite their recent improvement, Brentford are still on course to collect their lowest points haul since their promotion to the Premier League in 2021, though Thomas Frank’s side haven’t always been rewarded with the results that their performances have deserved.

Indeed, the Bees rank 8^th for both xGF (54.5) and xGA (49.8) this term, while some expected points (xP) models indicate that Brentford could have pocketed approximately 13 more points than they actually have.

Brentford have been performing poorly in the corner kicks department however, and only five teams have been winning fewer corners per game than the Bees (4.71). Brentford managed to win only one corner when they lost the reverse meeting with Everton back in September.

💰 Everton v Brentford Best Bets 

Everton’s captivating midweek success over Liverpool is certain to have had a massive uplifting effect on spirits at Goodison Park and with their safety virtually guaranteed, the Toffees can play without pressure to claim their fourth home win on the spin at Brentford’s expense.

Brentford have lost on two of their last three visits to Goodison Park, while their record of two wins, one draw and nine defeats from their last 12 away fixtures makes them easy to oppose, so we advise backing Everton to win at 2.38 with Paddy Power.

This fixture has a history of producing goals at both ends and there is value on offer in that market again on Saturday with both teams to score at 1.67 on bet365. Seven of Brentford’s last nine away matches in the Premier League have also produced goals at both ends and that pattern could continue at Goodison Park.
