The odds reflect this, with bet365 pricing an Everton win at 2.4, a draw at 3.4, and a Bees victory at 3. Everton’s slight edge could stem from their home advantage and recent form, though Brentford won’t be pushovers.

It’s shaping up to be a gritty battle, with both sides looking to make their mark.
Everton FC Recent Track Record
Everton's recent away form has been a mixed bag, showcasing a blend of resilience and inconsistency. The Toffees managed a hard-fought goalless draw against West Ham, displaying defensive solidity but lacking the cutting edge up front. However, their trip to Southampton ended in disappointment, as they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat, struggling to break down a stubborn Saints defence. Earlier, they showed grit in a 1-1 home draw with Fulham, but their standout away performance came against Ipswich, where they secured a convincing 2-0 win, combining clinical finishing with a disciplined backline. Unfortunately, this was offset by a frustrating 2-1 loss at Palace, where defensive lapses proved costly. Overall, Everton's away record highlights a team capable of grinding out results but still searching for consistency, particularly in front of goal. While their defence has held firm in patches, their attack has often lacked the spark needed to turn draws into wins. If they can find a better balance between attack and defence, the Toffees could start climbing the table.
Brentford FC Recent Track Record
Brentford's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Bees struggling to find consistency on the road. Their last three away trips in the Premier League have all ended in narrow defeats, including a 2-1 loss to Fulham and a heartbreaker at Old Trafford by the same scoreline. While they’ve shown flashes of attacking flair, scoring in each of these games, defensive lapses have been their Achilles' heel, conceding two goals in each outing. Despite their fighting spirit, it’s clear that Thomas Frank’s side needs to tighten up at the back to start turning these close margins into points. Offensively, Brentford have been lively, but their defensive frailties have left them exposed in high-scoring encounters, such as the 5-3 thriller against Wolves. The Bees' ability to create chances and find the net is undeniable, but their inability to close out games away from home is costing them dearly. If they can shore up their defence while maintaining their attacking edge, they could start climbing the table. For now, though, their away form remains a concern.
