Stats for this game
Matchup Everton VS Brighton
A modest Everton edge
Everton’s stronger share of the direct evidence gives this matchup a gentle hierarchy rather than a one-sided script. Their 1–0 victory at Brighton on 25 January 2025 and 2–0 home win on 24 August 2025 showed an ability to manage close contests. The 1–1 draw at the American Express Stadium on 31 January 2026 points to the other side of the profile: Brighton can keep the game within reach even when Everton arrive with the clearer historical weight.
Brighton have already supplied sharp reversals
The balance stays open because Brighton have produced emphatic answers. A 3–0 win at Goodison Park on 17 August 2024 and a 4–1 victory there on 3 January 2023 punished Everton when the home side lost control of the scoreline. Everton’s 5–1 success in Brighton on 8 May 2023 offers the matching reminder that the venue alone does not decide the outcome. A future meeting should remain interesting because the established Everton edge can be tested by Brighton’s ability to turn one phase of pressure into separation.
