Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Brighton
Brighton’s European dream lives on. The ‘Seagulls’ just beat Southampton 1-3 and are in seventh place with 24 points, after having achieved 9 of the last 12 points in dispute. Undoubtedly the team’s turning point was when they faced Chelsea, against their former manager Graham Potter when they won 4-1 and began their rise.
De Zerbi will still be without his star Alexis Mac Alister, who has not returned to training after being world champion with Argentina. Despite this, it must be remembered that the Italian coach said that in the position that the midfielder plays with his National Team he already has Adam Lallana (who scored against Southampton), so Mac Alister plays in another position at Albion and that aroused a lot of criticism.
Among the team’s needs is for Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross to return to what they were at the beginning of the season when, together with Mac Alister, they formed a luxury trident that had Brighton at the top.
At home, they haven’t been doing very well lately, as they only managed 4 of 12 points, and their last game at home was lost to Aston Villa (1-2).
Why Bet on Arsenal
Arsenal has done nothing but surprise everybody this season. Arteta’s team is the leader of the Premier League with 40 points, 5 more than Manchester City. With 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, the ‘Gunners’ are dreaming of a title they haven’t won since 2004.
On Monday they easily defeated West Ham 3-1 with a great display from Martin Odegaard, who has shown in London what he could not do at Real Madrid. Despite the absences that the team has had due to injury, of players as fundamental as Gabriel Jesús, they have all responded in a great way since, for example, Edward Nketiah, substitute for the Brazilian striker, scored one of the goals against West Ham.
Arsenal has only failed to win 2 Premier League games this season, and both were away: a defeat against Manchester United (3-1) and a draw versus Southampton (1-1).
Final Betting Analysis: Brighton vs. Arsenal
It will be a very good game and a great test for Arsenal, who will face a team that plays good football and has given great blows this season and, despite not having their star, has several players who were in the World Cup and that shows his level. However, the momentum of the ‘Gunners’ is excellent and they are very motivated, so we believe they will be the winners.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Arsenal is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +110, while Brighton has +2243 and the draw is +251.
The last time they played was recently, on November 9 of this year, for the EFL Cup and Brighton won 3-1 away with goals from Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma, and Tariq Lamptey, although in that game Arsenal played with all substitutes, even the third goalkeeper Karl Hein (Estonia, 20 years old), was making his debut with the team. By Premier League, the last game was on April 9 of this year and the ‘Seagulls’ also won, although this time by 1-2.
Go for a straight win for Arsenal in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at +110, you will gain $110 for a total payout of $210.
