Brentford vs Everton Preview

• Draw or Everton win
• Both teams to score

Brentford enter this clash with three wins from their last four league outings (L1), giving them an outside chance of securing European football next season.

However, their poor record against Everton (D2, L3 in last five H2Hs) suggests they face a real challenge in extending that run.

Despite their recent resurgence, Brentford’s home form has been woeful in 2025, with only the current bottom three sides earning fewer home points since the turn of the year.

Even more concerning is the fact that they remain the only Premier League team yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season.

That should be good news for in-form Everton, who are unbeaten in six Premier League matches (W4, D2) and have significantly improved their attacking output under David Moyes.

The Toffees have now scored at least twice in five of their last six league matches, a stark contrast to their struggles earlier in the campaign.

Everton will see Brentford as a team to chase down in the table, with a win here closing the gap between the two to just three points.

However, Everton have failed to win in each of their last 15 evening kick-offs in the Premier League (7pm or later – D7, L8), something that might play on their minds.

Key Stats

• Brentford have won three of their last four league matches (L1).
• Brentford have not won in their last five H2Hs vs Everton (D2, L3).
• Brentford are the only team in the Premier League yet to keep a home clean sheet this season.

Brentford: Can They End Their H2H Struggles?

Brentford’s recent three wins from four league matches have lifted spirits, but their home form remains a major concern.

The Bees have struggled to dominate matches at the Gtech Community Stadium this year, having earned just one home league point since January.

Why Brentford Fans Can Be Hopeful

• Strong attacking duo in Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, who both scored vs Leicester.

Tactical Insights

Brentford’s Approach

• Attack early – Everton have struggled in night matches (D7, L8).
• Use Mbeumo and Wissa’s chemistry – Both have scored in 17 matches together.
• Press Everton’s midfield – Doucouré and Gueye have been key in recent form.

Everton’s Approach

• Exploit Brentford’s home defensive struggles – They haven’t kept a home clean sheet all season.
• Counter-attacking play – Use pace on the break through Beto and Lindstrom.
• Stay compact in defence – Brentford’s attack has been potent recently.

Match Prediction

Brentford have been strong in attack lately, but their defensive frailties at home remain a huge concern. Everton have been solid under Moyes and are unbeaten in six. However, their poor record in evening matches could play a role.

This could be an entertaining contest with both teams finding the net, but Everton’s recent resilience and Brentford’s home struggles suggest the Toffees might just edge this one.

Final Score Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Everton

• Both teams to score given Brentford’s attacking form and Everton’s improvement in attack.
• Doucouré or Mbeumo to get on the scoresheet.
• Everton to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
