Indium. Brighton over 2 in total
Under Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton have an incredibly stable system play where even losing a few leaders doesn’t have a significant impact. For example, in the last round the Seagulls decisively defeated Manchester United (1:0), ahead of them in xg (2.4:1.4), although they missed the key midfielder – Pascal Gross (8+6). More clearly, the systematic progress of the team is reflected in a graph that shows a steady increase in the difference between expected goals scored and conceded, especially in recent times.
On average, Brighton generate 1.93xg per game, with 1.19xg allowed.
Everton have not been as stable and face completely different challenges this season. After 34 rounds, they dropped to second-last place in the Premier League, 1 point behind the saving 17th line. In the last 7 rounds, the toffees cannot beat their opponents both in terms of score and expected goals scored (xg). Even the appointment of a new coach – Sean Dyche gave only temporary effect. With him, the team generates an average of 1.28 xg with an allowable 1.86 xg and wins only 3 times out of 14 attempts.
I suppose that in the next meeting the hosts will be able to confirm their favorite status and open the opponent’s defense at least a few times.
