Brentford v Everton result predicted by supercomputer
Everton are looking to continue their six-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League as they travel to Brentford on Wednesday.
The Blues extended their best run of form so far this season with a 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Saturday, albeit one point should arguably have been three after Everton were denied a late penalty.
That late controversy at Goodison Park came after Everton had surrendered a 2-0 lead to allow two second-half goals from the visitors, letting a fifth win from the last six matches slip through their fingers.
Up next for David Moyes’ side is a trip to Brentford on Wednesday, facing a Brentford side sat six points and just three places ahead of them in the table after their 4-0 win at Leicester last weekend.
Everton predicted to face tough task at Brentford
Although Everton are one of the Premier League’s form teams heading into Wednesday’s fixture at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford have been one of the toughest sides to travel to this season.
The Opta Analyst‘s latest round of predictions on 25 February reflects this sentiment, with Everton given just a 28 per cent chance of victory in West London, compared to a whopping 47 per cent for the hosts.
A draw is the third-likeliest outcome according to Opta, at 24 per cent, and after Sean Dyche oversaw a 0-0 stalemate at Goodison in November, Moyes’ revitalised Everton will be keen to change the narrative.
Everton can spin Brentford prediction on its head
Although Brentford’s home record this season has been far superior to their exploits on the road, the belief that the Gtech Community Stadium is an impenetrable fortress is far from the reality for Everton.
Certainly in recent weeks, Brentford’s previously unbeaten run of home results has come to a dead halt, with Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham all leaving West London with three points.
| Position | Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | Points |
| 11 | Brentford | 26 | 11 | 4 | 11 | +5 | 37 |
| 12 | Tottenham | 26 | 10 | 3 | 13 | +15 | 33 |
| 13 | Crystal Palace | 26 | 8 | 9 | 9 | –1 | 33 |
| 14 | Everton | 16 | 7 | 10 | 9 | –4 | 31 |
As a result, and having beaten both Brighton and Crystal Palace away from home during their recent run of victories, Everton will be confident that they can do likewise against the vulnerable Bees.
Victory for Everton and other results going their way could take them up to twelfth and onto Brentford’s coat-tails, but they’ll be wary of the Bees doing all they can to avoid a fifth straight home defeat.
