Brentford host Everton at the Gtech Community Stadium for a midweek Premier League clash. Both teams have been in strong form lately and will be eager to continue that momentum into Wednesday’s match. Brentford have averaged 1.81 goals per game this season, while Everton have netted an average of 2.2 goals in their last five outings. With both sides showing their quality up front, I’m backing both teams to score at 1.70.
Both Teams in Fine Form
Expect plenty of goals on Wednesday night. At home, Brentford are yet to keep a clean sheet and have only failed to score on three occasions this season. Brentford see both teams to score 77% of their league games, so the odds offer value for our tip especially with The Bees conceding an average of 1.62 goals per game.
Everton on the other hand, have recorded just four clean sheets on the road this season. However, Beto has been in excellent goalscoring form, and returning manager David Moyes has shown confidence in the striker after a challenging start to his time at the club. Beto has netted five goals in his last four matches, after scoring just once earlier in the season, which came in their 1-1 draw against Fulham.
The last meeting between the two sides at the Gtech Community Stadium ended in a 3-1 win for Everton. Will we see a repeat of an Everton win in Brentford’s home turf on Wednesday?
Brentford Form
Brentford have managed to get three wins in their last five games, including a dominant 4-0 victory over Leicester last week. They currently sit 11th in the table with 37 points.
Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have been exceptional this season, contributing a combined total of 27 goals. Out of 26 matches, only eight have seen neither player involved in a goal.
A New Everton Under Moyes
Since David Moyes took charge in January, Everton have moved up to 14th in the table, now 13 points clear of the relegation zone. They’re unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches, with their most recent defeat coming in a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in January.
Everton’s last three matches have ended with both teams scoring, including 2-2 draws against Manchester United (who they now sit above) and Liverpool, the current league leaders. Brentford will need to be at their best to stop Everton’s attack, but with both teams showing their attacking prowess, there should be no shortage of goals. Everton have also scored in the first half of their last six matches!
