Everton vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips | March 11th 2023

Everton will welcome Brentford to Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday.

The hosts, 18th in the league table, are winless in their last three league outings but avoided a third straight defeat last Sunday as they played out a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest. Demarai Gray and Abdoulaye Doucouré scored for the Toffees but their efforts were undone by Brennan Johnson's brace.

Brentford extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 12 games as they overcame local rivals Fulham 3-2 at home. Ethan Pinnock, Ivan Toney, and Mathias Jensen were on the scoresheet to help the Bees to their ninth win of the campaign.

Everton vs Brentford Prediction

The hosts are winless in the Premier League against Brentford and will be looking to change that record in this game. They have failed to score in three of their last five Premier League games and their goalscoring troubles might be their undoing.

The visitors have seen an upturn in their recent league games and have scored at least two goals in eight of their last 12 games. They were able to hold Everton to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in August and will be looking to avoid a defeat in this game.

The hosts have just two wins to their name in the league since October and have kept just two clean sheets in that period as well. With that in mind, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Everton 1-2 Brentford
