Brighton v Arsenal Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Brighton v Arsenal Match Preview
Although the first weekend of January is usually earmarked for FA Cup action, the calendar has other ideas in 2025 and with the potential giantkillings having to wait another week, the focus is once again firmly on the Premier League.
The focus will be placed within East Sussex as Brighton play host to Arsenal and although there has been an element of giantkilling when it comes to the top tier’s natural order, they are bigger minnows than Brighton that possess a higher league position.
The fact that the big six has been disrupted considerably is not a massive surprise due to the levelling of the Premier League’s landscape but the fact that Brighton are not the best of the rest has a bigger shock factor.
With the trio of Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham all stealing a march on the Seagulls, there is an element of envy towards these three teams from within the Brighton camp but at the same time, Fabian Hurzeler’s men are not all that far away from joining this bunch of disruptors.
The Amex outfit start the weekend lying 10th in the table and if we take three places higher as the watermark for guaranteed European qualification – a guarantee that is currently held by Bournemouth, there are only three points between the two sides.
A margin that could have been bigger were it not for Tariq Lamptey’s late equaliser in the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa and when it comes to big margins, this is precisely what Arsenal must erode if they are to keep Liverpool within distance.
Distance that currently sits at six points with the Gunners having played a game more, by the end of Saturday evening the gap could be as short as three points having played two games more than the current leaders.
While that gap has at least shrunk from nine to six thanks to Mikel Arteta’s men picking up the first Premier League win of 2025 and although they fell behind to Brentford early on, three unanswered goals to follow at the GTech Community Stadium, made sure of three points.
There may be no Bukayo Saka for three months and whether that truly derails Arsenal’s bid to win a first league title in 21 years remains to be seen but they can only worry about the next game and their next concern is getting the better of a Brighton side that can be a difficult nut to crack.
But now it is time for the first of my two tips and with the Gunners being unbeaten in their last four league visits to The Amex, I think the streak continues and it continues with a win in both halves at odds of 4/1 with BoyleSports.
In addition to this, much has been made of Ethan Nwaneri’s talents as he deputises for Saka and with him already bagging a Premier League goal in his 11 appearances, I am backing him to score the last goal of the game at odds of 11/1 with bet365.
