My Prediction
Brentford by 2Let's take a dive into this fun little mashup, shall we? It's Brentford crossing swords with Everton in what promises to be a cheeky little contest.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is holding the fort for Everton, flashing a decent 7.14 rating with 10 saves. Now that's someone who knows how to keep the ball out of the net, even if he does look slightly terrified whenever someone kicks a ball towards him.
Brentford, on the other hand, couldn't decide on one goalie. Their duo Mark Flekken and Hákon Rafn Valdimarsson have kept things simmering with respective ratings of 7.37 and 6.40 and a combined 11 saves.
Moving on to the ones who really steal the limelight - temperamental divas generally found in the midfield or up front! For Everton, a passionate round of applause for Jarrad Branthwaite, Beto, and James Tarkowski. Beto's 5 goals and 9 shots on goal are particularly noteworthy even if his passing consistency is more erratic than a seagull after a spotted-dick pudding lunch.
Over at Brentford, we see Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, and Kevin Schade taking center stage. Mbeumo and Schade have both secured 2 goals each with a series of shots on goal that betrays their obvious disregard for "accuracy". It's all about quantity, not quality, right fellas?
Looking at past rendezvous between these two teams, Everton slighty edges out with 3 wins and one draw. Comfortably familiar territory for them, it seems, like stumbling home after a night at the pub.
However, the season records tell a slightly different tale, with Brentford boasting 11 wins compared to Everton's rather average 7. Admittedly, my gran could probably assemble a team that could pick up more wins than Everton this season.
Recently, both teams have been flinging themselves at the game like seagulls at a bag of chips (ah, the circle of life continues). Everton's had a series of draws followed by wins, while Brentford, even with a couple of losses, has been serverely trouncing their opponents and playing like they've had weetabix for breakfast.
So, let's add it all up, shall we? Everton's past performance against Brentford, Brentford's superior win record, and recent form, and we've got ourselves a bit of a pickle. But it's time for the final call. Well, here we go.
