Everton vs Brighton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-08-23 13:00.
[p]Everton make their long-awaited Premier League debut at Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to bounce back from an opening-matchday defeat at Leeds, while Brighton arrive after being held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Everton’s new era got off to a flat start as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Leeds, undone by a contentious late penalty after a lacklustre display. Injuries have already disrupted David Moyes’ plans, and with no major signings added in the past week, concerns remain over squad depth. They will hope to ease those fears with a win at Hill Dickinson Stadium, the club’s new home and the 62nd venue to host a Premier League game.[/p]
[p]Brighton were moments away from a fifth straight Premier League matchday-one victory, only for Rodrigo Muniz’s stoppage-time strike to deny them victory against Fulham. Fabian Hürzeler’s men created enough chances to make a winning start, so that should give them confidence as they head to Everton looking to replicate what happened during their opening away league game last season as they won 3-0 at Goodison Park. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]That win last term was Brighton’s only victory in the past five H2Hs (D2, L2), while just five Premier League teams boast more wins in the competition over the Seagulls than Everton (seven). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Brighton have won their last two Premier League away games – they last won in succession in January 2023 by beating Everton in the third game.[/p]
[p]Brighton have scored 2+ goals in five of their six away league games. [/p]
[p]Everton have lost their first two games in each of the previous three seasons.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Iliman Ndiaye was Everton’s top Premier League scorer last season (nine), with one of those being the winner at Brighton in January, while he also netted a double in Everton’s final game at Goodison Park. Brighton’s Danny Welbeck has been involved in ten Premier League goals in 18 appearances against Everton (G5, A5).[/p]
[p]Everton remain without key defender Jarrad Branthwaite and possibly also Vitalii Mykolenko, while Brighton have no fresh injury worries following the clash with Fulham. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]While this will be a historic day for Everton, their squad looks thin right now. Brighton are a more well-rounded outfit than Leeds and should be backed to secure all three points here. [/p]
