Everton are set to return to Premier League action in a somewhat puzzling run of form. The Toffees have been tough to break down defensively, losing just one of their last seven league games. However, their lack of attacking firepower has left them with only two wins in that stretch. As they prepare to host Brentford at Goodison Park, Sean Dyche will be hoping his side can find the right balance between defense and attack to break their recent scoring drought.
In this preview, we’ll analyze both teams’ current form, key players, and the tactics that could shape this encounter. Everton have been solid at the back but desperately need to find the net, while Brentford’s exciting attacking play has been overshadowed by a dreadful away record. This match promises to be a clash of contrasting styles as both teams look to push up the Premier League table.
Everton have become difficult to break down under Sean Dyche’s guidance, with a defense that has impressed in recent weeks. Since October, they’ve conceded just two league goals – the best defensive record of any team in that time. But while they’ve been rock-solid at the back, Everton’s inability to score has been a significant issue. They’ve failed to find the net in five Premier League matches this season, and if they go goalless again here, it will be the third time in Dyche’s tenure they’ve failed to score in three consecutive games.
Dwight McNeil has been a rare bright spot for Everton in attack. The winger has been involved in six of their ten league goals this season, scoring three and providing three assists. McNeil will need to step up and deliver more of the same against Brentford if the Toffees are to overcome their scoring struggles. With other attacking options limited due to injuries, McNeil’s form could prove pivotal to Everton’s chances of returning to winning ways.
Brentford have been involved in some of the most entertaining matches of the season, scoring 44 goals in their first 11 league games – the most of any Premier League team. However, their away form has been a major concern, with five consecutive losses on the road. Despite sitting comfortably in mid-table, they’ve struggled to replicate their home form away from the Gtech Community Stadium, and Goodison Park has been a particularly tough venue for them. The Bees have lost five of their last six league visits to Everton, with their most recent trip in April ending in a 1-0 defeat.
One player Brentford will look to for inspiration is Yoane Wissa. The forward has been clinical this season, scoring seven goals from just 15 shots, giving him a conversion rate of 47% – the best of any player with at least five attempts. Wissa’s ability to make the most of limited chances could be key if Brentford are to finally break their away jinx and snatch a result from Goodison Park.
This clash shapes up to be a fascinating battle. Everton’s defensive solidity against Brentford’s free-flowing attack creates an intriguing dynamic. While the Toffees have struggled to score, their defense gives them a solid foundation, especially at home. Meanwhile, Brentford will need to shake off their poor away form and find a way to unlock Everton’s defense, a challenge they’ve failed to overcome in recent visits to Goodison Park. We expect a tight match, with both teams eager to make up for their respective shortcomings.

Our experts are predicting a 2-1 win for Everton. While Brentford’s attacking prowess could cause problems for the Toffees, Everton’s strong home record and Brentford’s away woes should see Dyche’s side edge this one. The best bet is Everton to win and both teams to score (BTTS). With both teams capable of finding the net, this match looks set to deliver some drama, but Everton’s defensive strength and home advantage should see them through.
