Brighton vs Everton Prediction & Betting tips
They do not sit still in the Premier League. This weekend there is again a full round of games on the program. On Saturday-afternoon, Brighton plays in its own home against a big club from the Premier League. After Arsenal, this weekend Everton will visit Amex Stadium
Brighton & Hove Albion:
Brighton & Hove Albion is in the Premier League neatly in thirteenth place. Irishman Chris Hughton also performs well again this season with The Seagulls, whose goal is not to relegate from the Premier League. Brighton must make it very fur if they want to come into degradation this season. The Seagulls currently have twelve points ahead of the first team under the relegation zone and the expectation is not that Brighton will give away such a huge advantage. Given the differences in the ranking, it is more likely that Brighton will enter the left row of the Premier League than it will actually get relegation worries. For the time being, Brighton has proven exactly halfway through the season that The Seagulls are able to make it difficult for every opponent.
Arsenal experienced that on Boxing Day. The Gunners came to visit at the Amex Stadium and Brighton played quite rightly with 1-1 equal against the top club from London. The Seagulls got the 0-1 early in the game, but Jürgen Locadia made the equalizer ten minutes before the break. Locadia was, together with Davy Pröpper, the star on the Brighton side. Hughton decided not to put Locadia at the forefront, but to give it a more free role. Philipp Cocu also gave him such a role at PSV. Then he played from left alongside striker Luuk de Jong and that worked out fine. At Brighton, however, Locadia prefers to play in the striker, but unfortunately for him Glenn Murray is still the number one striker at Brighton & Hove Albion. The former PSV player left at least a good impression against Arsenal and Hughton can not avoid Locadia in such a case.
Everton:
Everton has only five points more than Brighton & Hove Albion. Should there be lost in the Amex Stadium, then the lead shrinks to two points. That the gap at Brighton is so low has not only to do with the performance of Brighton this season. Everton’s performances have not always been convincing in recent months. The Toffees had not won their last five matches for Boxing Day with the absolute low of the 2-6 defeat of last week’s Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur. Everton has 27 points and is in eighth place. Leicester City, the number seven, has only one point more than The Toffees, so the goal of Marco Silva’s men is still achievable. The Portuguese has to finish seventh with Everton.
Last Sunday, Everton had to cash in six hits at Goodison Park when Tottenham Hotspur came to visit. On the second day of Christmas, The Toffees took out themselves against Burnley. At Turf Moor, Everton was leading 0-3 after more than twenty minutes of play and the counter eventually stuck at five Everton goals. Burnley also scored on Boxing Day, but Everton won reasonably convincingly from The Clarets. Lucas Digne was the big man on the side of The Toffees with two great goals. The last time that Everton scored five goals in an away game was in 1996 visiting Sheffield Wednesday. That The Toffees with 1-5 win from Burnley shows once again how changeable Silva’s team can be. Three days earlier, Jordan Pickford finally had to fish six times against the Spurs.
