Moreover, Arsenal tends to excel against teams like Brighton, who don’t heavily rely on their defence, making this upcoming match a potentially favourable scenario for Arsenal.
In addition, the Gunners appeared to lack their usual drive in the midweek Champions League clash against PSV, which concluded in a 1-1 draw.
This allowed them to rest several key players, a decision that will likely positively impact their performance in the upcoming Sunday game.
In contrast, Brighton endured a tough match against Marseille.
We think this contrast in team fatigue and readiness could play a decisive role, leading to the likelihood of Arsenal securing a convincing victory.
Arsenal vs Brighton Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -163 (Tonybet)
Both Arsenal and Brighton are keen on playing attacking football, which has led to high-scoring encounters in their recent meetings.
In fact, all of the past four games between these two teams ended with over 2.5 goals.
Despite facing injury concerns, with players like Tariq Lamptey, Solly March, Danny Welbeck, and Julio Enciso sidelined, Brighton still boasts a roster of quality attackers capable of challenging Arsenal’s defence.

Their depth in the attacking line could pose significant threats, ensuring an engaging and potentially high-scoring match.
Arsenal has demonstrated remarkable offensive prowess at home, scoring over 2 goals in the past 5 matches across all tournaments.
Arsenal are gradually reaching the peak of their attacking game. Even in the lost match against Aston Villa, it was noticeable how versatile Arsenal are willing to play in attack.
Arsenal are able to combine in the zone between the lines of the opponent, stretching the opponents’ defense with diagonal passes from flank to flank. Additionally, their skill in executing 1v1 passes along the flanks and exploiting the space behind the opponent’s defenders is a key aspect of their offensive strategy.
The only thing Arsenal lack to improve their results is a top center forward of the level of Salah and Holland. Such a forward would surely help Arsenal to win the top spot.
At the same time, Brighton has managed to score in each of their last 7 games, showcasing their consistent ability to find the back of the net.
Considering the teams’ recent form and their tendency to concede goals, they will find it hard to keep a clean sheet.
So we expect a goal-rich encounter, with both Arsenal and Brighton expected to contribute to an exciting, high-scoring game.
