Everton vs Brighton match review, 8:00 p.m. August 24: Will the away team beat the home team?

VHO - Comments on the match Everton vs Brighton, round 2 of the Premier League, in the first official match at the new home stadium Hill Dickinson, will David Moyes and his team bring joy to the fans?

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 rated too highly. Simply because the home team is not at the peak of good form.

A week ago, Everton traveled to Elland Road with high spirits, aiming to score 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 performance. Because if counting pre-season friendlies, Michael Keane and his teammates have gone through a series of 7 games without a win, only drawing 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 in hand.

Everton are going through a difficult time due to 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 recruits like Thierno Barry, Carlos Alcaraz, and Dewsbury-Hall will need more time to integrate and adapt to the new environment.

Everton are having a poor start.

Last season, Everton were constantly hovering in the relegation zone and only managed to accelerate in the sprint phase. If they do not want to put themselves in a dangerous situation again, the home team will need to save points right from the starting line.

Especially when the new recruits Leeds, Sunderland, Burnley promise not to be as easy to beat as their colleagues Ipswich, Southampton or Leicester a year ago.

Not as disappointing as Everton, but Brighton also experienced regret in the opening round.

Hosting Fulham, the Seagulls made their superiority more tangible with a goal early in the second half by O'Riley. When victory seemed certain, the Amex home team unexpectedly conceded a goal in the 7th minute of injury time.

A 1-1 draw is hardly enough to satisfy Brighton. And Brighton & Hove fans will be even more disappointed as Joao Pedro, who impressed last season for the Seagulls, is flying high at Chelsea. If the Brazilian star was still around, Brighton would have finished off Fulham 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.
