Brighton vs Everton Prediction 25 January 2025

🔊 Are the "Toffees" ready to surprise one of the contenders for European competition? One of the matches of the 23rd round of the English Premier League will be the clash between Brighton and Everton at the "Falmer Stadium". There is a gap of 14 points between the opponents in the table, so bookmakers had no doubts when choosing a favorite, confidently giving this title to the hosts. However, David Moyes' team surprised in the last round and surely disagrees with the pre-match predictions.

📊 Head-to-head

Despite always being considered favorites, Brighton could not beat the "Toffees" for three consecutive matches. But in the first round of the current season, this trend was broken. The "Seagulls" secured a crushing victory with a score of 3:0, although many had questions about the refereeing in that game.

⚪ Brighton

Considering the large number of injured players, which hasn't changed for several rounds, Brighton is delivering excellent results. They are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, with the last three being victories. In the last Premier League round, the "Seagulls" comfortably defeated Manchester United (3:1). This helped them rise to 9th place in the standings. The gap from the top 5 is only 4 points, so everything is in Fabian Hurzeler and company's hands.

🔵 Everton

It took David Moyes just a couple of rounds to secure his first victory since returning to Everton. And it turned out to be very emotional. The "Toffees" defeated Tottenham (3:2), scoring three unanswered goals before halftime. It's hard to believe, but the last time the "Blues" thrashed someone in the first half was back in 2017. However, this was just the first step towards their goal - the gap from the relegation zone is only 4 points. There are no new injuries in the visitors' squad. Players who are in the infirmary have already missed several rounds.

⚽️ Prediction on goals

Everton delivered an anomalous shootout for themselves in the last round. Is it time to return to basics? Engaging in an open exchange with Brighton is a futile endeavor, so the "Toffees" will do everything to ensure that total under 2.5 goals hits again, as it has in 7 of their last 8 matches.

🚩 Prediction on corners

Under Sean Dyche, the "Toffees" managed to combine extremely primitive play with a low number of set pieces at the opponent's goal. Currently, the team's average is only 4.19 corners per match. And against Brighton, it is unlikely to be higher, considering that Everton delivers fewer than 5.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 Premier League matches. This betting option is worth considering.

📝 Match prediction

Brighton lost quite a few points in winter, especially when it was least expected from them. Yes, now the "Seagulls" have gained momentum, but the "Toffees" are also inspired after their victory over Tottenham. We tend to think that the visitors will not leave empty-handed and will manage to score, as Brighton concedes regularly. Based on this, we bet on Both teams to score (yes) - a bet that has played out in 12 of Fabian Hurzeler's team's last 14 Premier League matches. We expect a draw with a score of 1:1 at the end of the match.
