Everton can break strange Brentford record that’s seen them share same amount of wins and goals

Everton and Brentford share a unique Premier League head-to-head record, with both teams winning the same number of games and goals scored against one another.

The two will meet again for the second time this season on 11 April, as the Toffees head for the capital to take on the Bees.

Keith Andrew’s side are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games, but their previous three fixtures have all ended up in draws to Leeds United, Wolves and Bournemouth respectively.

Everton, on the other hand, have won three of their last four league outings, and will enter the game fresh off the back of a massive 3-0 victory over Chelsea.

So, whilst Everton will be confident of taking all three points, the history books show that these two teams are fairly inseparable from each other.

Everton and Brentford’s head-to-head Premier League record

Brentford beat Everton 4-2 in this season’s reverse league fixture, with Igor Thiago netting a hat-trick at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

However, David Moyes’ side are a different animal now than they were then, as the time of that defeat, the Toffees had picked up just one win from their previous four games.

Given Brentford still being fairly new to the Premier League, having only won promotion to the division for the first time in 2021-22, this top-flight fixture is still in its relative infancy.

But, in an indication as to how closely contested their games have routinely been in the years since Brentford’s promotion, that aforementioned Thiago hat-trick is enough to make him the top scorer of this fixture.

Indeed, in the nine times that these two have met in the top flight, there has been three wins for both sides as well as three draws.

If that wasn’t strange enough, they’ve both scored an equal number of 11 goals across their all-time Premier League clashes.

So, that 4-2 win by Brentford last time out was very much an outlier, as the previous two games both ended in draws, whilst there had only been three goals scored over the course of the last three meetings before that thumping Bees victory.

What is Brentford’s home record like this season?

With the history books predicting another close encounter on 11 April, just how much of a test is this going to be for Everton at the Gtech?

Well, Brentford have picked up six more points at home this season than they have done on the road, with 26 collected at the Gtech and 20 on their travels respectively.

They’ve only lost three times on home soil this term, with the last one of those coming on 21 February in a 2-0 defeat to Brighton, which is also incidentally the last time they were beaten in any competition.

However, Everton are slightly better away from home than at Hill Dickinson Stadium this season too, with 24 away points won compared to 22 on Merseyside, so that stands them in good stead to get a result.

With it being seventh against eighth, this really is a six-pointer for both teams in regards to their respective European football qualification aims.
