Arsenal v Brighton Preview

Arsenal’s Form

Last weekend Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa after a goal from McGinn in the seventh minute. That defeat meant they relinquished their spot at the top of the table to Liverpool. They can consider themselves unlucky though having had 62% of possession and creating an XG of 1.72 to Villa’s 0.63.

Only Man City (38) and Aston Villa (35) have scored more than their 33-goal haul which is the same as Tottenham, Newcastle and Brighton. The defensive structure is the strong point in the Arsenal team with the best defence in the division with 15 goals conceded along with Liverpool. Arsenal are second in the Expected Points Table with 31.76 suggesting they’re deservedly second at the moment.

Arsenal drew 1-1 with PSV in Eindhoven on Tuesday to conclude their Champions League Group Stage campaign.

Brighton’s Form

Brighton haven’t quite reached the heights of last season, but their 26-point total from 16 games still puts them eighth in the table and 1 point behind Man United in 6th. That’s a more than respectable return when you consider the added pressure of Europa League where they’re 2nd with 10 points, 5 games gone.

Brighton made it 4 points won in their last two league games last weekend where they had a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Burnley. They can be considered unlucky though having had 72% of possession they created an XG of 2.96 from 29 shots to Burnley’s 1.05 XG from 6 shots

Brighton are the 7^th highest scorers in the league this season with 33 Goals scored from an XG of 28.65 which shows they’re clinical finishers from the chances they do create. However, their 28 goals conceded have them with the 6^th worst defence in the division from an XG of 24.30. Their Expected Point total has them in 10^th two places lower and on 24.53 Points

Brighton battle Marseille on Thursday in the Europa League before they travel to The Emirates on Sunday.

Evan Ferguson – Brighton

The Bettystown native and Irish Teenage Sensation (19) already looks to be one of the most promising footballers not just in the league but in World Football.

Arsenal v Brighton Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Brighton

Arsenal will want to regain top spot in the Premier League at the weekend and while they need to hope Liverpool lose to Man United later that day, a victory would put them temporarily top of the table.

Brighton will have to navigate another Europa League fixture on Thursday, where they will battle Marseille for the chance to win their group with 1 point separating them in the table.

The statistics show there should be plenty of goal in this game and Brighton have done well in this fixture recently. The extra break and motivation should be enough to give them a crucial advantage.

Best Bet: Over 2.5 Goals and Arsenal Win 21/20
