Recent form

Everton

Based on the provided information, Everton's recent form has been mixed, with a concerning trend of three consecutive losses in their last five matches. Their most recent game, a friendly against AS Roma, ended in a 1-1 draw, potentially providing a small boost to morale. The team's defensive record is a point of concern, having conceded 11 goals in their last six games, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. On a more positive note, Everton's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the matches. The friendly against Sligo Rovers stands out as a particularly high-scoring game, ending in a 3-3 draw. Despite their current 4th position in the league table, it's worth noting that the season hasn't started yet, as they have 0 points from 0 games, indicating that this position is likely based on the previous season's final standings.

Brighton

Brighton's recent form shows a promising trend, with four wins in their last six matches, including three consecutive victories in friendlies. The team has been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 15 goals in these six games, averaging 2.5 goals per match. Two high-scoring encounters stand out: a 5-1 win against Kashima and a 4-0 victory over Villarreal CF. Defensively, Brighton has been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. The team's attacking prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals. However, it's worth noting that their last competitive fixture, a Premier League match against Manchester United, resulted in a 2-0 defeat, which may be a more relevant indicator of their form heading into the new season.
