Brighton vs Everton - 12/04/2021
6657
There are two matches to be played on Monday the 12th of April in the English Premier League, the second of which takes place at the American Express Community Stadium as Brighton and Hove Albion meet Everton.
The hosts begin the weekend in 16th place on 32 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 47 points.
Brighton come into the match on the back of a narrow 2-1 loss at Manchester United last weekend. The Seagulls will feel they deserved to take at least a point from the game but having taken the lead in the first half, Brighton conceded two goals after the interval, the second of which came in the 83rd minute.
That result came on the back of two Premier League victories against Southampton away and Newcastle United at home, both of which helped the club move clear of the relegation zone.
However, Brighton have won only 2 of their last 8 Premier League fixtures and one of their last 4 at home. In fact, in their last 28 home games in Premier League, Brighton have recorded only 4 wins, which is a poor record.
Trends show Brighton have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 4 games in all competitions, including each of their last 3 on home soil. Brighton have failed to score more than a single goal in 5 of their last 6 at the AMEX.
Everton travel south having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Crystal Palace last weekend. It was a disappointing result for the Toffees as they were leading for much of the second half, only to concede an equaliser with 4 minutes remaining on the clock.
That result means Everton have failed to win any of their 4 most recent games, losing 2-0 at home against Manchester City in the FA Cup and tasting defeat against Chelsea and Burnley in the Premier League.
Everton have failed to win any of their last 3 Premier League fixtures and have picked up only 3 victories from their last 9 league games, which is not good enough if they want to qualify for European football next season.
However, Everton have been good away from home in the Premier League and they have won 7 and drawn 2 of their last 10 away Premier League matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Brighton continue without the injured duo of Solly March and Tariq Lamptey. Florin Andone, Aaron Connolly, and Adam Webster are fitness doubts.
Bernardo, Abdoulaye Doucouré, André Gomes, Fabian Delph, and Jordan Pickford are all unavailable for Carlo Ancelotti. Midfielder Allan is a doubt but Ancelotti will be hoping the Brazilian is fit.
This is a game between a team who struggle to win at home and one that enjoys playing away. Therefore, we expect to see Everton come out on top, with both teams scoring.
