Sean Dyche’s Everton will be hoping to put a difficult 2023-24 season behind them when they open the new season on Saturday, August 17, against Brighton. But, can the Toffees start the new campaign with maximum points in front of their home fans?
Before Betting On Everton vs Brighton
Everton will be hoping for a season away from the relegation places this term after narrowly avoiding the drop for the second straight campaign in 2023-24. But, it is worth remembering that they were only so close to the drop zone after being deducted points on two separate occasions. There will be extra pressure on the Toffees this term, as it will be their final campaign at Goodison Park.
Dyche has already strengthened his squad ahead of the start of the new season with Jake O’Brien and Iliman Ndiaye among the standout additions. However, their pre-season results may dampen expectations slights, as Everton have failed to win in three of their four friendly matches.
Brighton will be the first visitors to Goodison Park this season, as they look for a return to the top half of the standings after finishing eleventh last term. There will be a fresh feel around the team this term, as they go into the campaign with Roberto De Zerbi, who departed the club at the end of the previous campaign.
Fabian Hurzeler will be tasked with taking the Seagulls into the new season, as Brighton bid to return to European soccer. Brighton have once again been busy in the summer window, with big-money moves for Yankuba Minteh and Mats Wieffer catching the attention. However, both young stars will quickly need to adapt to life in the Premier League.
