Brighton come into this match in poor form, having lost their last four games, including a heavy defeat. Everton have been a bit more mixed recently, with a win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches, showing they can be tough to beat even if they are not dominating games.

Looking at recent meetings between these two sides, the matches have often been high-scoring affairs. There have been several games with three or more goals, including a 1-5 scoreline not too long ago. This suggests that when Brighton and Everton meet, it can be an open game with plenty of chances at both ends. Given Brighton's struggles and Everton's inconsistent but resilient form, this match looks very close and could easily end in a draw.
