Brentford (Home)
- Brentford has won 7, drawn 5 and lost 3 of their 15 Premier League home games this season.
- Brentford host Everton in what will be a significant test of momentum for both sides when they renew hostilities in the 2025-2026 Premier League season on Saturday.
- The hosts have drawn their last three matches, most recently a 2-2 draw at home to Wolves and 0-0 away to Leeds.
- His pragmatic, shape-shifting approach triggers high-pressing and rapid transitions to catch their opponents off guard, especially the more compact defences that Moyes sets up.
- The Bees are scoring an average of 1.73 goals per home game in the Premier League this season, but have conceded an average of 1.13.
Everton (Away)
- Everton has won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 Premier League games.
- The Toffees have won 7, drawn 3 and lost 5 of their 15 away matches in the Premier League this season, while Brentford's home record is 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from 15 matches.
- Since Moyes took over as manager in January 2025, he has instilled a sense of defensive solidity and discipline at Everton, where they play in a low-to-mid block with a focus on compactness and keeping the ball in controlled situations.
Head-to-Head
Brentford has failed to win their last two home games against Everton, but they beat The Toffees 4-2 at Goodison Park just three months ago.
Key Players
- Brentford’s talisman Igor Thiago has netted 19 goals in 31 Premier League appearances this term, while veteran forward Beto has scored 6 goals in 31 outings, including 3 in the last 5.
- Mikkel Damsgaard has chipped in with 2 goals during the same period, while James Garner has 3 assists in that run for Everton.
Betting Insights
- Brentford is favoured to edge this contest, as their attacking firepower and high-pressing game should see them break through the Everton defensive line at some stage, while Moyes’ team may not have enough quality to breach the Bees’ backline.
- That should give Andrews’ side the edge over Moyes’ men, as long as they can stop drawing games, at what looks like a very generous 2.14.
Prediction
Brentford is favoured to edge this contest, given their home scoring form and the recent 4-2 win at Goodison Park, so expect the Bees to have the upper hand on Saturday.
