Arsenal - Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Brighton & Hove Albion may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - The Seagulls will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Arsenal are coming off a glowing 1:3 victory against Crystal Palace in the previous round. They dominated the game for the majority of the runtime and ended their visit with a convincing result and three points added to the tally.

Albion’s victory in the previous round caught most spectators by surprise – especially their opponents Manchester City. They appeared to be heavily outmatched going in, and predictably fell behind in the first half. The narrow 3:2 victory was completely unexpected, and it puts their current form in a very favourable light.

The Gunners have managed to bag 7 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Emirates Stadium are expecting a lot of action this time around.

With their most recent track record in mind, The Seagulls tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with Arsenal taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Tariq Lamptey, Solly March, Florin Andone are the players that will be missing, which makes the The Seagulls lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.87 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
