Brighton vs Arsenal prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-04-05 16:30.
[p]After avoiding a fifth straight away defeat for the first time since 2006 with a drab 0-0 draw against Brentford in midweek, Brighton quickly turn their attentions to hosting Premier League title chasers Arsenal. Despite their valiant midweek efforts, the fact remains that Roberto De Zerbiâs men have won just one of their last five league outings (D2, L2) and risk slipping away from the race for Europe. [/p]
[p]While their current form on the road is poor, the Seagulls often soar at home, boasting an ongoing 12-game Premier League unbeaten run at the Amex ahead of this encounter (W6, D6). That sequence may make Brightonâs long odds here seem tempting, but the fact that theyâve won just once when beginning a league match at any venue as the betting outsiders this season (W1, D1, L7) casts doubt on the continuation of their strong home form. [/p]
[p]Mikel Artetaâs Arsenal followed up their creditable goalless draw against Manchester City with another clean sheet in their 2-0 win on Wednesday over lowly Luton Town. The Gunners are firing on all cylinders as they enter the final eight-game stretch in title contention with Liverpool and City, although they will likely need to record a first Premier League double over Brighton since 2020/21 to keep pace in the three horse title race. [/p]
[p]Arsenal journey south after earning four straight away league clean sheets, and only once in the clubâs history have they enjoyed a longer run of Premier League travelling shutouts – a five-match sequence back in 1997. The clean sheets are arguably not even the most impressive part of that away run either, as they had won three straight games by 5+ goal margins before their bore draw at City.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: JoĂŁo Pedro performed solidly on his return from injury at Brentford in midweek and three of his last four scoring appearances for Brighton saw him net at least twice. As for Arsenal, captain Martin Ădegaard often pops up at the crucial moment, with his goal against Luton his fourth consecutive decisive matchwinning strike, three of which were game openers.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Brighton have failed to win 15 of their 18 Premier League Saturday matches held at 5:30pm (D7, L8). [/p]
