Arsenal vs. Brighton Picks, Parlay
Arsenal are still on course to secure an elusive Premier League title. Their 2-1 win over Chelsea means they are now unbeaten in six league matches, and we are backing them to continue that positive run by beating Brighton.
Arsenal have lost just three of their 29 league matches, winning 19 and scoring an average of two goals per game, 1.24 more than they have conceded.
Mikel Arteta’s team are also unbeaten in their eight away league matches against sides currently in the bottom half, alongside Brighton, winning five. With no room for error, Arsenal should have what it takes to get the win here.
While Arsenal boasts the Premier League's top defensive record, recent form suggests an opening for Brighton. The Gunners have shown some vulnerability lately, failing to record a shutout in their last four league matches.
This trend is even more pronounced on the road, where they have conceded in seven of their last nine games across all competitions, allowing an average of 1.11 goals per contest.
This defensive dip aligns perfectly with Brighton's formidable attack at home. The Seagulls have scored in 12 of their 14 Premier League matches at the Amex Stadium this season, averaging an impressive 1.57 goals per game.
Critically, they have found the back of the net in all six of their home fixtures against teams currently in the top half of the table.
Brighton’s offensive consistency, particularly against strong competition, provides a solid foundation for our pick that they will score a goal.

Arsenal vs. Brighton Betting Analysis
The stakes could not be higher for Arsenal, who enter this match with a five-point lead over Manchester City in a tense title race. Every game is a must-win, and Mikel Arteta’s squad is expected to control the tempo from the start.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last six league matches and have been particularly strong on the road, with an 11-game unbeaten streak in all away competitions.
A key factor in Arsenal's success has been their dominance on set pieces, from which they have scored 19 goals this season. This provides a crucial alternate path to goal when their open-play creation, which can be inconsistent, sputters.
While Arsenal need the victory, Brighton is more than capable of spoiling the party. The Seagulls have lost just twice at home all season in the league and are still pushing for European qualification.
Head-to-head history also suggests a competitive match. Arsenal are undefeated in the last six meetings with Brighton, winning four. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory at home.
However, Brighton has consistently found a way to score against the Gunners, netting a goal in their last three league encounters.
This history reinforces the potential for goals from both sides, even as Arsenal pushes for the crucial three points.
