Brentford vs Everton
I am betting Brentford and under 2.5 goals here, Everton have real issues with goals, they have bought a striker in Neal Maupay from Brighton but signed him too late to play today so they will start with Solomon Rondon up front as Dominic Calvert Lewin is currently injured, Rondon is a major downgrade at this stage of his career and a real negative for the Blues today. As well as that Anthony Gordon who has filled the striker role earlier in the season is the subject of a major transfer bid from Chelsea and you would have to wonder about the state of his mind currently, it is rumoured, he has told the club he wants to join Chelsea and it is difficult to see how he could be at the peak of his game this afternoon. It is difficult to see where the goals for Everton will come from although they are a pretty solid side defensively so I can see this being a low scoring Brentford win. So this is probably more a anti Everton bet than a pro Brentford one, the positive for the home side is they’re at full strength and have done well so far this season despite losing late on last week v Fulham, so at home and on a small handicap such as the -0.25 at current odds i believe they’re value but also including the under 2.5 goals as Brentford may have to do all the scoring in order for there to be 3 goals or more in the game.
