Everton vs Brighton Preview

Brighton were very good last season once again and have looked strong in preseason under new manager, Fabian Hurzeler. I fancy them to get a point against an Everton side who showed good home form last season.

Everton Form

Everton finished last season’s Premier League campaign in 15th place and 14 points clear of the relegation zone. Sean Dyche’s side were unbeaten in five of their last six to comfortably avoid relegation.

Everton had mixed pre-season results, starting with a draw against Sligo (3-3) and losses to Salford (2-1) and Coventry (3-0). The Toffees finished strongly with a 3-0 win at Preston and a 1-1 home draw against Roma.

Dyche’s outfit trailed Roma 1-0 at half time before Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck a 62nd-minute equaliser.

Brighton Form

Brighton ended last season 11th in the Premier League table. Roberto De Zerbi left the club and was replaced by Fabian Hurzeler.

The German manager oversaw a perfect pre-season, with four wins from four matches. Brighton beat Kashima Antlers (5-1), Tokyo Verdy (4-2), QPR (1-0) and Villarreal (4-0).

Danny Welbeck scored twice and Joao Pedro and Yankuba Minteh also struck in the Villarreal victory.

Verdict

Everton v Brighton

Everton were tough to beat at Goodison Park last season and Brighton have momentum heading into the new campaign. There’s little between these sides and an EPL draw is likely.
