Arsenal v Brighton Betting Tips [31 August 2024]

At least one perfect record in the Premier League will crumble this weekend when Arsenal and Brighton meet on Saturday. Arsenal will host the lunchtime kickoff hoping to bag another home win. Read on for our match prediction as The Gunners take on The Seagulls. 

Brighton lost home and away to Arsenal last season in the league. In this game, Arsenal have the chance to post a fourth win in five meetings with Brighton. Mikel Arteta’s charges are on a good run, having beaten Wolves and Aston Villa to start off their season. 

Former Brighton forward Leandro Trossard will be keen on this game after his big goal in the 2-0 win against Aston Villa. He also scored the third as Arsenal beat Brighton 3-0 last time they met. Arsenal are unbeaten in eight league games heading to the clash. 

Brighton aren’t strangers to winning at the Emirates; they have three wins in the last four visits. Arriving for the game in good shape, they will be eyeing another victory in London. Fabian Hürzeler’s side has played three matches so far and won all. 

Their most recent was in midweek as they saw off Crawley Town 4-0 in the League Cup. Having rung changes for the midweek game, the visitors will be back to full strength on Saturday. 

Former Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck will be a man to watch after scoring twice in the opening two league games. Like Arsenal, Brighton haven't trailed this season, beating Everton 3-0 and most recently Manchester United 2-1.

This match pits two sides with perfect starts to the season and we expect a big battle out there at the Emirates. With Brighton operating under a new manager, this will be their first big test of the season. Arsenal have the benefit of continuity, playing at home and a great run in the league to bank on.

The Gunners have dominated this fixture in recent times and have a great run of clean sheets. Our prediction for Arsenal v Brighton is for Arsenal to win without conceding.
