Both of these teams have something to play for in this Premier League match, so it should not end up being one of those damp squib matches where not an awful lot happens. Arsenal, as you probably already know, are battling it out for their first Premier League title in two decades, while Brighton are still in with a shout of qualifying for either the Europa League or the Europa Conference League next season. Who will claim the points and give their aspirations a boost? Well, this is what this prediction aims to tell you.
🏆 Arsenal vs Brighton: Who Will Win?
Arsenal took on Luton Town on Wednesday evening and came away with a very comfortable 2-0 win to move them to the top of the table for now. They have scored 72 goals this season while only conceding 24, which makes them the best attacking team in the league as well as the best defensive team. Mikel Arteta has got them playing some top-quality football at the moment, and they will be kicking themselves for many years to come if they do not win the league title in May.
Brighton will be kicking themselves heading into this match as they will be wondering how it is that they did not get two extra points against Brentford on Wednesday evening. They dominated the match, restricting Brentford to just the two shots on target, but they could not score themselves and had to settle for a 0-0 and a point apiece. If they can get a shock win on Saturday evening, then it would do their European potential the world of good.
However, it is really hard to see them turning over Arsenal at the moment. Not only do Arsenal have better players, but they are also in much better form. Brighton, as they did against Liverpool, will give the Gunners a run for their money, but I see nothing other than an Arsenal win here. When it comes to the scoreline, I would back Arteta's men to win 3-1.
My Prediction: 🏆Brighton 1 Arsenal 3 ⚽
💯 Brighton vs Arsenal Match Odds
When Arsenal and Brighton met in London in the middle of December last year, the Gunners collected the points thanks to a 2-0 win. The Seagulls kept things tight in the first half, but Gabriel Jesus broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute. Brighton were still in the game up until the 87th minute when Kai Havertz sealed the point for the Gunners. Brighton had only one shot on target all match, so they will be hoping to do much better than that on their own turf on Saturday.
New UK betting sites and established ones will compile their odds for this match based on the recent head-to-head record and current form. Below you will find three tables, and in these, you will find the most recent odds for three popular markets in relation to this Brighton vs Arsenal match. The three markets that we will be concentrating on include the match winner, over/under 2.5 goals, and both teams to score.
🏅 Brighton vs Arsenal: Match Winner Odds
Since one of these teams is fighting it out for the title alongside Liverpool and Arsenal while the other is battling it out for a spot in the Europa League or Europa Conference League, you can probably guess who the match winner odds are going to favour. If you said Arsenal, then you are correct, but there are no prizes on offer for answering such easy questions.
The Gunners are the big favourites for this match, while the odds suggest that it would be quite a shock were Brighton to send Arsenal back to London with no points in their bag. If you are considering betting on the match winner, then check out the odds in the table below:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Brighton | 4.95 | 4.95 | 5.25 | 5.10 | 5.10 |
Draw | 4.30 | 4.30 | 4.33 | 4.25 | 4.25 |
Arsenal | 1.59 | 1.59 | 1.62 | 1.60 | 1.61 |
⚽ Brighton vs Arsenal: Both Teams To Score Odds
Despite Arsenal having the tightest defence in the league, the bookmakers that I have selected believe that there is a very good chance that both teams will find the back of the net in this match. Brighton are a team that like to attack and attack nowadays, so there is every chance that they will be able to get themselves a consolation goal in this match.
Below you can see the BTTS odds for this Brighton vs Arsenal match:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | 1.58 | 1.58 | 1.60 | 1.62 | 1.68 |
No | 2.28 | 2.26 | 2.20 | 2.08 | 2.14 |
🥅 Brighton vs Arsenal: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
When it comes to the number of predicted goals in this match, the bookies are confident that there will be over 2.5 goals but under 3.5 goals. Since they have Arsenal as the match favourites and believe that both teams will find the back of the net, we can deduce that the bookies believe that the Gunners will go on and win this game with a 2-1 scoreline. As you know from my predicted score above, I think Arsenal will win more handsomely.
Below you can find the over/under 2.5 goals odds for this Brighton vs Arsenal match:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Over 2.5 | 1.54 | 1.54 | 1.60 | 1.57 | 1.58 |
Under 2.5 | 2.33 | 2.33 | 2.30 | 2.25 | 2.25 |
✔️ Brighton vs Arsenal - Betting Tips
In this part of my Brighton vs Arsenal prediction, I will provide you with four betting tips for this match. Now, you do not need to wholeheartedly agree with anything that I say but check them out as you might just find something that you think is worth taking a punt on - especially if you happen to have some free bets available to you. Even if you do not find anything you like the look of, it has not cost you a penny.
- Tip 1: Bet on Arsenal to win: Arsenal have been on fire for weeks now, and not many teams will relish having to play them at present. They have their eyes set on the EPL title, and it looks like it is going to take something special to prevent them from lifting their first Premier League title in a decade. The Gunners have the best away form in the league, picking up 9 wins, three draws, and three losses from their 15 away games. If you want to back them to pick up another away win, then 10Bet Sport are offering odds of 1.62.
- Tip 2: Bet on both teams to score: When it comes to the BTTS table, Arsenal are actually sitting second from the bottom due to how great their defence has been this season - both teams have scored in only 33% of their away matches. Brighton are right at the other end of the table as both teams have found the back of the net in 86% of their home matches. I think Brighton will spurred on by the home crowd and will score at least once, and BetUK Sports are offering odds of 1.68 for BTTS.
- Tip 3: Bet on over 2.5 goals: There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Arsenal's previous ten matches, while six out of Brighton's previous ten games have seen at least three goals scored. Arsenal are averaging an astonishing 3.50 goals per game over the last ten rounds of matches, so Brighton's defenders will definitely have their work cut out for them. It would be a big surprise to me if we did not see at least three goals scored in this match between two attack-minded teams. If you want to back over 2.5 goals, then BetUK Sports have odds of 1.58 available at present.
- Tip 4: Bet on Arsenal to win 3-1: With the form that both teams are currently in, this should be another comfortable win for Mikel Aterta and his men. However, despite their strong defensive abilities, I think Brighton will find themselves a consolation goal - I would be tempted to back former Gunner Danny Welbeck to score that goal. I can see Arsenal winning by two and taking another step closer to the EPL title. If you want to back a 3-1 correct score in Arsenal's favour, then you can find odds of 10.20 at Betiton Sport.
Whenever you are gambling, no matter the sport, you need to make sure that you do so responsibly. The best way to ensure that this is the case is to set up a budget with an amount that you can afford to lose and stick to it. Also, you should consider setting up deposit limits, so you cannot deposit more than a set amount.
1️⃣Brighton Update
For me, Brighton are one of the more entertaining teams in the league because they always set up to attack as they know that their fans want to see attacking football. In previous seasons, they have punched well above their weight, and they are doing the same this time around as they are still in the hunt for some European football next season. They have been eliminated from this year's Europa League, so they can fully concentrate on picking up enough points to ensure that they have another stint in European football next season.
They are sitting in 12th place in the form table, having picked up 12 points from the last ten matches that they have played - three wins, three draws, and four defeats. They have suffered some poor defeats in this time, such as a 4-0 loss to Luton and a 3-0 defeat to Fulham, but De Zerbi will keep them on the straight and narrow. Below are their previous five EPL results:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |
---|---|
Brentford0 Brighton0 | 03.04.24 |
Liverpool2 Brighton1 | 31.03.24 |
Brighton1 Nottingham Forest0 | 10.03.24 |
Fulham3 Brighton0 | 02.03.24 |
Wolves1 Brighton0 | 28.02.24 |
De Zerbi has six players that he will not be able to call upon for this match against Arsenal, and you can see their current absentees in the table below:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Evan Ferguson | Knock |
Jack Hinshelwood | Foot Injury |
Karou Mitoma | Back Injury |
James Milner | Thigh Injury |
Solly March | Knee Injury |
Billy Gilmour | Knee Injury |
2️⃣Arsenal Update
I am not a big fan of Arteta as I feel that he moans far too much when things are not going his way, but one cannot deny the tremendous work that he is doing at the club. They narrowly missed out on the title last year, and now they are right back up there battling it out for the title once again. To average 2.40 goals per match while only conceding 0.80 is an impressive feat that they can be proud of - although, it will count for nothing if they have no silverware to show for their efforts.
They are the form team in the league as no other side has picked up as many points as they have over the last ten rounds of matches - they have dropped just two points in this time, which was a very creditable 0-0 draw away to Manchester City. Below are their previous five EPL results:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |
---|---|
Arsenal2 Luton Town0 | 03.03.24 |
Manchester City0 Arsenal0 | 31.03.24 |
Arsenal2 Brentford1 | 09.03.24 |
Sheffield United0 Arsenal6 | 04.03.24 |
Arsenal4 Newcastle United1 | 24.02.24 |
Arteta has had his fair share of injury issues this season, so he will be thankful that he currently only has two unavailable players for this upcoming clash with Brighton. You can see who these two absentees are below:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Jurrien Timber | Knee Injury |
Bukayo Saka | Muscle Injury |
