Brighton vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. The Gunners have now won nine straight Premier League games dating back to the end of last season. They have won all four of their games to start the new season, keeping a clean sheet in three of those wins. If you include their Champions League victory over Napoli, the Gunners have won all five of their games in the new campaign, keeping four clean sheets and only conceding one goal.
That’s as dominant of a start as you can ask for, especially when you are missing key players at the back. William Saliba is still out with a back issue, but Jurrien Timber is back in the fold as he made an appearance off the bench in the 2-0 win against Sunderland last Saturday.
These teams met up three times a season ago, twice in the Premier League and once in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Arsenal won all three games, keeping two clean sheets and only conceding once while scoring five times.
Brighton have started the new season well, sitting fifth in the league and the Seagulls have actually scored three more goals than any other team. Unfortunately for them, they haven’t played a defense like Arsenal’s yet. During this nine-game winning streak in the Premier League, the Gunners have kept seven clean sheets, only conceding twice across that span. I will keep taking Arsenal to win without conceding until they prove me wrong.
