04/01 Today’s Football Predictions: Brighton vs Arsenal + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

In ten games, Arsenal will make their first trip outside of London when they play Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday night on the South Coast.

A few days after the Seagulls’ incredible comeback in a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, Mikel Arteta’s team began the New Year with a decisive 3-1 victory over Brentford.

Head-to-Head

The last eight meetings have resulted in three wins apiece and two draws, indicating that this match has been fiercely contested in recent years. Earlier this season, Declan Rice was sent off for the Gunners, and the match ended in a 1-1 tie at the Emirates.

Team News

One drawback of Arsenal’s midweek win was Jurrien Timber’s suspension-inducing yellow card, which prevented them from having a reliable right-back while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu healed from knee ailments.

If Arteta doesn’t start 18-year-old Joshua Nichols, Thomas Partey should once again play as a makeshift full-back. This would enable either Kai Havertz, who missed the Brentford victory due to illness, or Rice to return to the midfield.

Raheem Sterling (knee) and Bukayo Saka (hamstring) were both sent to the infirmary; therefore, Arteta gave Ethan Nwaneri his first Premier League start at Brentford. It would be surprising, though, if the 17-year-old kept his spot given the short turnaround time.

Negative aspects of Arsenal’s midweek success were Jurrien Timber’s suspension-inducing yellow card, which prevented them from having a reliable right-back while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu healed from knee injuries.

Unless Arteta surprises everyone by playing 18-year-old Joshua Nichols, Thomas Partey should once again play as a makeshift full-back. This would allow Rice or Kai Havertz, who missed the Brentford win due to illness, to return to the midfield. At Brentford, Arteta started Ethan Nwaneri in the Premier League for the first time after Bukayo Saka (hamstring) and Raheem Sterling (knee) were both sent to the hospital. But given the short turnaround time, it would be unexpected if the 17-year-old maintained his position.

Verdict

Tip Arsenal to Win❌

Reason

Before their goalless match against Brentford on December 27, Brighton had both scored and given up in six straight Premier League home games. The goals should flow again against an Arsenal team that has recently battled for clean sheets away from home.

But without the key Saka, Arteta’s team is handling things rather well offensively, and we support them as they march to their second 3-1 victory of the year, keeping Liverpool from moving farther away from the Premier League lead.

Tip: BTTS (YES)✅

Reason

Brighton has scored a decent 13 goals in nine home league games and has only lost one of their past 17 games overall. Brighton should score since Arsenal’s last away clean sheet occurred in a cup match against Championship team Preston in October, ending an eight-game streak.
