Brentford vs Everton Predictions

• Everton have three wins in their last four games
• Brentford are winless in four at home (D2, L2)
• Everton have four wins in their last six away

In-form Everton can raid Brentford

Brentford host Everton in a key game in the battle for European qualification in the Premier League on Saturday and the visitors look good value as underdogs.

As it stands, seventh place will be good enough for the Conference League and the top eight could qualify for Europe depending on who lifts the FA Cup.

Brentford currently sit seventh, locked on 46 points with Everton immediately below them, and the top five is an achievable target for both sides as Liverpool are three points above them in fifth spot.

Brentford won the reverse fixture 4-2 but they are going through a rough patch and are winless in four, while Everton have hit some form as they made it three wins in four games by beating Chelsea 3-0 in their last outing.

The Bees have only lost three of their 15 home games in the league but two of those losses have come in their last four at the Gtech, with the other two finishing as draws.

Everton have won four of their last six away games and now boast the fourth best road record in the division, and they look excellent value to claim three points and see off a direct rival this weekend.

Both teams capable of scoring

Brentford have scored 46 goals in their 31 league games and 26 of those strikes have come in their 15 home fixtures. Everton have conceded in each of their last four away games and both teams have scored in the last two meetings.

That suggests that goals at both ends could be on the cards and a 2-1 away win is the correct score pick, as six of Everton’s seven road wins in the league have been by one-goal margins.

Beto scored two of Everton’s goals against Chelsea and now has three goals in his last four games. The 28-year-old looks a solid contender for an anytime effort on Saturday.
