Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction and Betting Tips | January 3, 2023
Everton will host Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park on Tuesday (January 3) in the Premier League.
The hosts have struggled this season, finding themselves just outside the drop zone with the midpoint of the season approaching. Everton, though, picked up a valuable 1-1 draw against defending champions Manchester City at the weekend, with Demaria Gray scoring a stunning leveller just after the hour mark.
Brighton, meanwhile, have had mixed results of late as they continue to adapt to life under manager Roberto De Zerbi. They lost 4-2 at home to league leaders Arsenal in their last game and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin despite dominating possession.
The visitors are eighth in the standings with 24 points from 16 games.

Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
Everton are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and are without a win in their last six competitive outings. They have lost three of their last four games at Goodison Park and could struggle here.
Brighton, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four games and will look to bounce back. They have, however, been solid on the road recently and should come out on top.
