Brighton v Arsenal betting tips: Gunners bid for rare double

The Gunners are just the third side in Premier League history to lose their opening three games of a campaign and then win their next three (after Wimbledon in 1996-97 and West Brom 2002-03).

Following a 1-0 victory at Brighton in December 2020, Arsenal have won nine of their last 15 away league games (D2 L4), with only Manchester City (13) and Liverpool (10) winning more Premier League games on the road in that time.

The Gunners are 31/20 to win the game, while the draw is on offer at 9/4.

Brighton v Arsenal head-to-head

The Gunners were victorious in both meetings last season, winning 1-0 at the Amex and 2-0 at the Emirates. Prior to that, Brighton had gone five successive games without defeat (W3 D2).

Arsenal are looking to win back-to-back away league games against Brighton for the first time since April 1981, following last season’s win on the south coast.

Brighton are 8/15 to win or draw the game on the Double Chance market in the Brighton v Arsenal betting tips.

Five of the last seven meetings saw both sides score and it is 4/5 that this is the case again, while seven of their last 12 clashes yielded three goals or more and the odds for this to occur again on Saturday are 21/20.

Brighton v Arsenal key battles

Former Arsenal man Danny Welbeck likes scoring against his former club and has netted in each of his last three Premier League appearances against them – twice for Manchester United and once for Watford. Welbeck is 13/5 to score at any time.

Maupay, who seeks to score in three consecutive games for Brighton for the first time since October 2020, has netted the winner in two of his three Premier League appearances against Arsenal and is 23/20 to score at any time or 11/2 to score the last goal.

Arsenal’s last eight Premier League goals against Brighton have come from just three sources: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (three), Alexandre Lacazette (two) and Nicolas Pépé (three), and Brighton centre-halves Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy (pictured above) will have their hands full against that trio.

Aubameyang has scored five goals in his last five appearances in all competitions and is 8/5 to find the net again at any stage as the last of our Brighton v Arsenal betting tips.
