Everton v Brentford: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Brentford, one of two Premier League teams yet to register a single away point, will be hoping they can snap that sequence at Goodison Park against Everton.

Thomas Frank's men are full of goals this season, which is in stark contrast to Everton, whose lack of firepower is why they remain close to the relegation places.

Everton v Brentford betting tips and predictions

Brentford Draw No Bet - 11/10

No side in the Premier League have won more points at home than Brentford - it's on the road where their problems lie.

The Bees have collected all 16 of their points at the Gtech Stadium, a stark contrast to their away form which features five straight defeats.

It's clearly an issue for Frank, though hardly a major surprise given that the first three of those away-days were at Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham.

Since then they have also sustained 2-1 losses at Manchester United and Fulham, matches they would have targeted for points more realistically than the first three.

The most galling aspect of the most recent four losses is that they took the lead in all of them - indeed they were still leading going into injury time at Craven Cottage before Harry Wilson netted a late brace.

That, in turn, suggests they are not far away from a first road win which could feasibly come at Everton on Saturday.

There is certainly nothing in Everton's form to suggest they can overpower Brentford.

Sean Dyche's men are on a run of just one loss in eight in all competitions, but they have won only two of those eight games and have scored just seven goals over that period.

In their last two matches they racked up 16 shots at Southampton and 18 at West Ham, yet scored in neither, going down 1-0 at St Mary's and drawing 0-0 at the London Stadium.

Eight-goal Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has only scored two fewer than the entire Everton team.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn't found the net in over two months and it's possible Beto could start against the Bees.

This is a physical match-up between two strong teams with Brentford's pace on the counter always a danger.

It will probably be low-scoring but Brentford, who twice came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-2 before the break, are more than capable of taking the win.

Christian Norgaard Over 0.5 Shots on Target - 2/1

Mbeumo is rightly taking all the plaudits for his goals this term, but attacking threats come from all areas.

Brentford are a serious threat at set-plays, while Frank expects his midfielders to weigh in with goals, among them Christian Norgaard.

To date, the Dane has scored twice this season, one in a 3-1 win over Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup and the other in the 5-3 win over Wolves in the Premier League.

Norgaard had one shot - on target - in the 3-2 win over Bournemouth before the international break.

And only two men - Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa - have fired off more shots this season than Norgaard, who is averaging 1.3 shots per game.

The 2/1 he has over 0.5 shots on target at Goodison Park has to be a spot of value.

Race to 3 Corners - Brentford - 11/10

If you are thinking of a bet on cards, bear in mind these two sides are statistically the best behaved in the Premier League this season.

For a corners bet, look at Brentford winning the race to three at 11/10. Again, like the Norgaard suggestion, it looks fair value.

Everton average 3.6 corners at home and concede almost six; Brentford average just 3.2 corners away, but remember that three of those five trips were to Liverpool, Man City and Spurs.
