Brighton vs Arsenal Betting Tips: ARSENAL TO WIN
The arrival of a red-hot title contender couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Seagulls, given that they have completely lost their rhythm recently, failing to taste victory even once since their 2-1 away triumph over Bournemouth back on November 23.
Even though they put on a commendable display to earn a deserved 2-2 stalemate in their tricky visit to Villa Park against Aston Villa in their latest league clash, Brighton's drought without a victory has extended to seven straight Premier League games, with five of those ending in draws along the way.
On their part, Arsenal are heading to the Amex Stadium in high spirits after racking up nine wins in their previous 11 outings in all tournaments, with their most recent victim being Brentford, whom they defeated 3-1 to narrow the gap to the league leaders to just six points.
A visit to Brighton is certainly not one of the easier fixture, but the Gunners will be boosted by their ruthless goal-scoring form shown in recent away matches, where they rattled the net at least five times in three of their last five trips, so keeping up that offensive momentum will be key.
Among other things, Mikel Arteta's men have fared well on their recent trips to the Amex Stadium, as the left East Sussex with all three points in three of their last four away H2Hs, and they will hope to create a winning outcome again this time in their pursuit of the Reds.
While goals are expected to flow freely in both directions, we believe Arsenal will once again show their lethality in the final third and replicate their New Year's Day victory to secure a high-scoring win against the unreliable Brighton, who are in freefall. Even without star Bukayo Saka, the Gunners still have plenty of high-caliber attackers to make it a fifth win on the bounce.
