Everton vs Brighton: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 10th March 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 10th March 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: Goodison Park

Match Preview:

How times have changed at Everton, just a few months ago Sam Allardyce was welcomed with relief as the club looked doomed for a relegation dog fight under Ronald Koeman. Whilst results vastly improved initially under his guidance recent results such as crumbling to Burnley last weekend have seen fans criticise Allardyce’s substitutions and the club were booed off at the final whistle. There is certainly unrest at the club right now.

The problem with the Toffees if truth be told has been their away form where they have the 2^nd to worst record in the league. But at home the club has gone 3 games undefeated and managed back to back wins over Leicester and Crystal Palace.

Brighton come into this game in superb form and fresh from a 2-1 win last weekend over Arsenal. The club would place in 4^th position on form alone but once we look at their away record that swiftly changes with no wins in 4 months. They have scored just 7 goals on the road which is joint lowest alongside West Brom.

Everton vs Brighton Prediction:

From all of the Premier League fixtures this weekend this match looks like a stand out as a home win. There has been pressure applied to Everon manager Allardyce and usually he bounces back strongly from that, and being at home this is the perfect opportunity. Brighton will come here with confidence but still look just too naive on the road.
