Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal is one of the best teams in the Premier League and the world at this point of the season. There is no doubt about that.
However, this does not take away from the fact that the team had some issues or slips throughout the season. They are in second place in the standings, with an excellent record of eleven wins, three draws, and two losses, with 33 goals scored and 15 conceded. Moreover, they are only 1 point behind Liverpool. So, this match could propel them back to the top of the table in case the Reds lose or draw against United.
The Gunners have to win every game from now on if they want to regain first place, and, in addition, they have to watch out for Aston Villa, who are only 1 point behind.
Arsenal comes from losing, precisely against Aston Villa, with a score of 0-1.
Why Bet on Brighton?
For their part, Brighton has been one of the teams that tend to be a thorn in the side of the big teams in the Premiership. However, now they have to be more than that, as they will have to play a near-perfect game to get an away win against the Gunners and thus climb positions in the table.
The Seagulls are currently eighth in the table, with a record of seven wins, five draws, and four defeats, and are level on 26 points with Newcastle, 1 point behind Spurs, and 4 points behind Manchester City in fourth place.
As we can see, the standings are tight, so a win would undoubtedly put them very close to the European places.
Brighton come into this matchday after a 1-1 draw at home against Burnley.
Final Betting Analysis: Brighton vs. Arsenal
In the last 20 meetings between these two teams, there is absolute parity in the results obtained. Both have eight wins, while four matches have ended with a draw.
However, the last match between these two teams ended with a crushing victory for Brighton with a score of 3-0.
At 1XBET, a Moneyline favors Arsenal at 1.47, while Brighton starts at 6.30.
There is no doubt that this match may be one of the most intense of this matchday, as Brighton has always been a tough nut to crack for the big teams in the Premier League. However, the difference in level and, above all, the home condition makes us tilt our balance in favor of the Gunners.
As a result, our prediction for this match is a 3-1 victory for Arsenal.
Look for a win on Arsenal’s Moneyline. If you put $100 on the Gunners at 1.47, you’ll see a $47.00 win with a total payout of $147.00.
