Everton vs Brighton

Current streaks

Recent form

Everton

Everton's recent form has been concerning, with the Toffees failing to secure a victory in their last seven matches across all competitions. The Merseyside club have endured a particularly difficult run, losing their last three games in a row, including their Premier League opener against Leeds United. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded in every match during this period and keeping no clean sheets in their last seven outings. Whilst there haven't been any notably high-scoring affairs, Everton have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in their last six games at an average of 0.67 per match. Their draw against Manchester United in the Premier League Summer Series, where they scored twice, stands out as their most positive recent result. However, with only two draws and four losses in their last six matches, Everton will be keen to turn their fortunes around and climb up from their current 14th position in the league table.

Brighton

Brighton have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. The Seagulls are currently enjoying a notable nine-game undefeated streak, demonstrating their resilience across various competitions. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 14 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.33 goals per match. Particularly eye-catching was their 4-1 away victory against Tottenham Hotspur, showcasing their ability to dominate even against top-tier opposition. Brighton's defensive solidity is also worth noting, with two clean sheets in their last six matches and only conceding an average of one goal per game. Their high-scoring encounter with Liverpool, which ended in a 3-2 home victory, further emphasises their capacity for exciting, goal-laden performances.

Recent home/away form

Everton

Everton's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Toffees struggling to find their footing at Goodison Park. The Blues have managed just one win in their last six home fixtures, a 2-0 victory against Southampton in the Premier League. Notably, Everton have failed to score in three of these matches, including their most recent outings against AS Roma and Bournemouth. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding nine goals across these six games, with a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth standing out as their worst result. Despite this, Everton have shown resilience against top opposition, holding both Arsenal and Ipswich Town to draws. The Toffees' goal-scoring woes are evident, with an average of just 0.83 goals per game, while their defence has been leaking 1.5 goals per match on average.

Brighton

Brighton's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a notable streak of three consecutive wins followed by two losses and a draw. The Seagulls have shown impressive attacking prowess, scoring an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six away matches, including a high-scoring 4-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Defensively, they've been somewhat inconsistent, conceding 1.5 goals per game on average, with two clean sheets balanced against a 4-2 defeat at Brentford. Brighton's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their total goals average of 3.67 per game suggests that fans can expect excitement when Brighton play away from home, with the team demonstrating their ability to both score and concede in abundance.
