Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton's recent form has been impressive, with the Seagulls currently enjoying a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions. They are on a three-match winning streak, which includes a convincing 4-0 victory over Norwich in the FA Cup and a notable 3-1 away win against Manchester United in the Premier League. The team's defensive solidity is evident, having kept three clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only 0.67 goals per game during this period. Brighton's attacking prowess has also been on display, scoring 12 goals in their last six games, with an average of 2 goals per match. Their ability to score consistently while maintaining a tight defence has resulted in a positive goal difference of 8 over these fixtures, highlighting their balanced and effective approach to recent matches.

Everton

Everton's recent form has been inconsistent, with their current 16th position in the league reflecting their struggles. The Toffees have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches, showcasing their difficulty in stringing together positive results. Notably, their most recent victory was a high-scoring affair against Tottenham Hotspur, ending 3-2 in Everton's favour. Despite this, goals have been hard to come by for Everton, averaging just one goal per game in their last six matches. Defensively, they've been slightly more vulnerable, conceding 1.17 goals per game. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period. Interestingly, 83% of Everton's recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring encounters. This pattern of tight, low-scoring games suggests Everton have been involved in closely contested matches, despite their lowly league position.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the Seagulls struggling to secure victories at the Amex Stadium. In their last six home matches, Brighton have managed just one win, a notable 2-1 victory over Manchester City, alongside three draws and two losses. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding in five of these six games and keeping only one clean sheet. There's been no shortage of goals, however, with an average of 2.67 total goals per match and both teams scoring in 83% of the fixtures. Brighton's most recent home defeat was a high-scoring affair, losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace. Despite their mixed results, the Seagulls have shown resilience against top teams, drawing with Arsenal and narrowly losing to Liverpool in a five-goal thriller in the League Cup.

Everton

Everton's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the Toffees failing to secure a single victory in their last six outings on the road. The Blues have shown resilience in defence, managing two clean sheets and conceding just 1.17 goals per game on average. However, their attacking prowess has been notably lacklustre, scoring a mere one goal across these six matches, averaging a meagre 0.17 goals per game. The standout result in this run was a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United, which significantly contributed to their -6 goal difference. Everton's struggles in front of goal are further emphasised by the fact that 83% of their away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in only 17% of these fixtures. Despite their poor form, the Toffees have managed to grind out three draws, including creditable results against title contenders Manchester City and Arsenal.
