Arsenal vs Brighton betting preview
If it’s goals you want, Brighton are the team to watch – both teams to score has now delivered in their last 20 Premier League games!
With Arsenal flying along, particularly at home, this game promises to be an open, entertaining affair and finding a way to back goals in some shape or form looks the way to go from a punter’s perspective.
OK, the Gunners suffered a setback at Aston Villa last weekend to slip off the top of the table but such a result will surely only renew their determination to maintain a title challenge.
As for Brighton, their bad patch seems a long time ago now – they arrive at the Emirates having lost only once in their last 11 games in all competitions.
A host of injuries, including the influential Solly March and Ansu Fati, hasn’t been able to derail Roberto de Zerbi’s side, the manager having stuck to his principles despite the loss of key personnel.
While there have been some clean sheets in Europe, keeping goals out in this competition remains a problem and it’s hard to see them stopping free-flowing Arsenal from scoring.
The Gunners are just 4/9 to win the match but Brighton’s ability to find the net – not to mention the hosts’ record of conceding on home soil – makes adding the both-team-to-score option to the home win appeal.
It certainly looks a great way of boosting Arsenal’s price, while there’s another goals-related bet we like the look of – read on to check out our best bets for the big game.
Arsenal vs Brighton key stats
- Brighton have scored in their last 32 Premier League games but haven’t kept a clean sheet in their most recent 20 – their last came at the Emirates in May.

Arsenal to win and both teams to score (Spreadex)
If often pays to recycle bets time after time and if the selections for this match seem familiar, it’s because they are!
The stats certainly make this bet appeal as it’s something that’s happened on a fairly regular basis.
Arsenal won 14 of 19 at home last season and 11 of them came via this method. This season, four of their six victories have seen both teams find the net.
Brighton’s both-teams-to-score stats are simply remarkable (see above) so this looks a great way of adding value to the home win.
⚽ Back Arsenal to win and both teams to score at 21/10 at Spreadex ⚽
Lewis Dunk 1+ shot (bet365)
Dunk’s propensity for a shot was highlighted on these pages in midweek when he managed another one against Marseille.
That means he’s now had at least one shot in 11 of his 18 appearances this season.
He’s a major aerial threat from set-plays, while the England international has also been taking free kicks around the box of late.
Odds-against looks a good bet, while 2+ shots at 7/1 is also worth considering with Dunk having had multiple shots in six of those 18 matches.
⚽ Bet on Dunk 1+ shot at 11/8 at bet365 ⚽
Bukayo Saka anytime scorer (Sky Bet)
Saka has again been excellent for Arsenal this season and a big reason behind what looks like another championship challenge.
He’s around the 8/11 mark to score or assist in this one. Given he’s landed that bet in 15 of 20 starts this season, that looks tempting, especially given the opposition’s struggles to keep the ball out of their own net.
However, perhaps better value can be had by backing the England star simply to score at any time.
Saka has found the net in seven of 10 matches at the Emirates this season yet he’s out at almost 2/1 to repeat the trick.
⚽ Back Saka to score at any time at 15/8 at Sky Bet ⚽
