Brighton vs Everton prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 25, 2025
Matchday 23 of the English Premier League will feature a clash between Brighton and Everton. The match is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, kicking off at 16:00 Central European Time. Here’s my take on betting for the winner of this game.
Match Preview
Brighton is performing at its usual level this season, showing resilience with only four losses in 22 Premier League matches. The Seagulls are sitting mid-table and holding their ground comfortably among the top ten teams in England.
In their previous game, Brighton claimed an away victory over Manchester United, which is becoming less surprising. The Red Devils are in deep crisis, a situation Mitoma and his teammates capitalized on effectively.
Everton, under the return of David Moyes as manager, finally secured a win. The Toffees, under the Scotsman’s guidance, put on a striking display by scoring three goals against Tottenham before halftime.
Although Spurs nearly made a comeback, the main takeaway is that Everton hadn’t scored three goals in a match for a long time. However, the club’s main issue remains its attack, as only Southampton has scored fewer goals this season.
Match Facts
- Brighton is unbeaten in their last seven matches.
- Everton hasn’t won an away game since mid-October.
- Brighton averages one goal per game at home, while Everton averages just 0.2 goals per game on the road.
Probable Lineups
- Brighton: Verbruggen, Dunk, van Hecke, Estupiñán, Veltman, Baleba, Ayari, Mitoma, Minteh, João Pedro, Welbeck.
- Everton: Pickford, Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Doucouré, Gueye, Mangala, Ndiaye, Lindstrøm, Calvert-Lewin.
Head-to-Head
Brighton hasn’t beaten Everton at home since 2019.
Prediction
The visitors aim to challenge an opponent struggling offensively in home games. I believe Everton will put up a fight, so I’ll bet on their win with a +1 goal handicap.
