Arsenal vs Brighton Betting Analysis

League leaders Arsenal came off another dominating victory on Monday with a 3-1 win over London rivals West Ham.

The Hammers actually took the lead in that game through a Said Benrahma penalty before a dominating second-half display by the Gunners youth contingent took over the show in that game with goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah to secure all three points for the home side.

Brighton similarly secured a 3-1 win on Monday, beating south coast side Southampton to remain on the cusp of a European place for next season, however, the league leaders will no doubt provide a far sterner test for the Seagulls in this one.

Arsenal don’t have the greatest record of late inside the Amex, winning just one of their previous five visits here.

Arsenal Watertight On The Road

No team has given up fewer goals away from home than the Gunners have this season, with opponents averaging just 0.50 gpg against them along with a paltry 9.1 shots also.

That defensive record for Arsenal has unsurprisingly seen them average a 75% clean sheet percentage on the road this season, with as many clean sheets secured on the road this season than they managed across the entirety of last year’s Premier League campaign.

Home Is Not Where The Heart Is For Brighton

Arsenal haven’t been the only hot team away from home this season, with the Seagulls ranking as the 4th best road team in the league this year with 13 points banked from eight away games.

Unfortunately for Brighton however, they’re not on the road for this game as contrary to their road form this season, Brighton’s home form has been very underwhelming, with just three wins at home all year and securing just one point total against both Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa combined.

Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction

Arsenal without question will miss Gabriel Jesus over the coming months as he’s already bagged 5 goals and 5 assists for them this season, but as Eddie Nketiah proved on Monday, Arsenal have enough quality in depth on their roster to offset that.

Nketiah is a phenomenal player all-round and proved that during last year’s Europa League run, so Arsenal’s dropoff in attack is almost negligible here.

Because of that, the current line of +109 looks too good to pass up on Arsenal in this one as the league leaders have been in such dominant form for most of the year.

Previous Arsenal collapses, Jesus’ injury, and a poor recent head-to-head record for Arsenal in this venue are all likely contributing factors as to why this line isn’t odds on here.

This Arsenal team definitely look for real this season and we like them to get the outright win at current odds of plus money on Saturday against Brighton over in the EPL.

Prediction: Arsenal Moneyline +110
