Why English Premier League Games Are Very Difficult To Predict

3y ago

Such a disastrous start to the season it has been for Arsenal, these ones aren’t enjoying the best of campaigns so far. In fact, they were recently on a worrying seven-game winless streak, stretching back to early November.

However, this slump was arrested in their London derby victory over bitter rivals Chelsea on the last matchday, thanks to an emphatic 3-1 victory. The Gunners will be keen on picking up where they left off in this tie versus Brighton.

Brighton vs Arsenal Team News

It is fair to say Brighton may be involved in a relegation dog-fight this season, given their faltering league form so far. With 15 games played, the Seagulls have scraped a measly 13 points, and are only two points clear of the drop-zone.

Within reach of 18^th-placed Fulham, Brighton cannot afford any slip-ups to avoid getting sucked into the dreaded relegation places. Despite being touted for failure on the last matchday against West Ham, Potter’s men confounded their critics.

In a pretty tough game in East London, the Seagulls dropped a masterclass and could easily have secured a massive win but for some defensive errors. Having gone ahead on two separate occasions, West Ham had them pegged back.

Dunk’s towering header in the 70^th minute had set Brighton up for three points, before Soucek launched a rocket into the corner of the net to have a share of the spoils on the night. Having bagged a point here, the Seagulls will fancy their chances of upstaging Arsenal in their next fixture.

You bet Graham Potter will be losing sheep as he ponders on how to get his Brighton side winning games again, given they haven’t tasted success in each of their last five matches on the spin. In poor form as well, Arsenal find themselves lying in the bottom-half of the standings.

With many calling for the sack of Mikel Arteta, the Spaniard got his Arsenal side firing on all cylinders last time out to sweep title-contenders Chelsea aside. Now, the juvenile manager must have lifted some pressure off his shoulders with that victory.

That said, the Gunners cannot get carried away at this point, and must keep their feet on the ground to ensure they continue to build momentum. Should they play anything like they managed against the Blues, Arsenal may well be celebrating victory come fulltime in Brighton & Hove.

Brighton vs Arsenal Predictions

Ever since gaining promotion to the English top-flight in 2019, Brighton have turned into something of a bogey team for Arsenal. This time around, we expect the Seagulls to give this North London club a run for their money once again.

Having toppled Chelsea last time out, the Gunners will be buzzing ahead of this clash. Still, we are hesitant on wagering an outright Arsenal win, rather favoring the goal market. Count on both sides to hit the target here.
