Everton vs Brighton form
This weekend, history will be made in the port city of Liverpool. Everton will play a competitive match for the first time at their new home, Hill Dickinson, leaving behind their glorious years at Goodison Park.
To mark this important milestone, Everton of course really want to win. However, the ability to complete the task of coach David Moyes and his team is not highly appreciated. Simply because the home team is not at its best form at the moment.
A week ago, Everton were full of spirit when they traveled to Elland Road with the goal of earning points against newcomer Leeds. But instead of showing their superiority, The Toffees let their opponents dominate both the game and the final result.
Leaving Yorkshire with a 0-1 defeat, Everton must certainly look back at themselves in the hope of improving their form. Because if counting pre-season friendlies, Michael Keane and his teammates have gone through a series of 7 games without a win, drawing only 2 and losing 5.
The reasons have been seriously dissected. The most significant reason, according to coach Moyes himself, is that he does not have the strongest squad.
Everton are going through a difficult time, with their squad depleted by injuries and a lack of strong recruitment.
In addition to the old player Jack Grealish, who has somewhat passed the other side of his career, new players like Thierno Barry, Carlos Alcaraz, and Dewsbury-Hall will need more time to integrate and adapt to the new environment.
Last season, Everton were constantly in the relegation zone and only managed to accelerate in the final stages. If they do not want to put themselves in a dangerous situation again, the home team will need to save points right from the start.
Especially when the new recruits Leeds, Sunderland, Burnley promise not to be easily defeated like their colleagues Ipswich, Southampton or Leicester 1 year ago.
Not as disappointing as Everton, Brighton also experienced regret in the opening round.
Hosting Fulham, the Seagulls made their superiority more evident with a goal early in the second half by O'Riley. When victory seemed certain, the Amex team unexpectedly conceded a goal in the 7th minute of injury time.
The 1-1 draw was hardly a happy one for Brighton. And Brighton & Hove fans will be even more disappointed as Joao Pedro, who impressed for the Seagulls last season, is flying high at Chelsea. If the Brazilian star was still around, Brighton would have finished off Fulham early to take all three points.
There is an interesting statistic in the recent confrontations between Everton and Brighton. That is, the home teams often do not get positive results. In the last 8 clashes between the two sides, the away teams have not lost and won 6 victories, divided equally between each team.
