Matchweek 29 of the Premier League has arrived as Arsenal travel to take on Brighton.
Arsenal are -160 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +330. Fancy a Brighton upset? The Seagulls are +400 to pick up three points.
Brighton vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. After back-to-back disappointing draws against Brentford and Wolves, the Gunners have bounced back in a huge way with wins against London rivals Tottenham and Chelsea.
Man City keeps applying the heat in the title race, and the Gunners have responded to the pressure. On Wednesday, both teams will play at the same time as Arsenal travel to Brighton while City host Nottingham Forest. Every game from now until the end of the season is huge for Arsenal, and I think they will use that pressure to their advantage on Wednesday and get a win.
The bad news is that they are facing a Brighton team that has just come to life with two wins in a row against Brentford and Forest. Before that, the Seagulls were on a miserable run of six games without a win in all competitions. They now find themselves in no man’s land in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone but also far away from European places. Perhaps the Seagulls can afford a free hit in this fixture with no harm done to their season-long goals.
Arsenal have gotten the better of this fixture recently, winning three of the last five games between these teams in all competitions, with two draws. In all five of those fixtures, at least two goals were scored. At least two goals have been netted in each of Arsenal’s last six games in all competitions, while the same can be said for Brighton in three straight games.
The Gunners haven’t been overly convincing in recent weeks, but they are a better team than Brighton and should find a way to get the three points.
