Brighton – Arsenal: 05.04.2024 18.30 CEST
On Saturday, April 6, 2024, Brighton will host Arsenal. This will be a must win game for Arsenal, as they look to come closer to Liverpool. They are only 2 points behind Liverpool and one point above Manchester City. We all know how they did not accept the chance last year and lost the title in the end.
Brighton only won 1 out of their last 5 games in the Premier League. They are currently in 9th spot, tied with Chelsea. Their Europa League journey came to an end after they lost against Roma. They are also out of all the other competitions, so the Premier League is the only competition they have. Brighton are pretty much out of any chance of reaching the Europa League, so they do not have much to fight for. That being said, they can play without any pressure and try to improve their record! In their last game, Brighton played 0-0 against Brentford.
Arsenal have won 9 out of their last 10 games! They are one of the hottest teams in the Premier League. This is a must-win game for them if they want to keep fighting for the title. Last week, they played 0-0 against Manchester City. Arsenal did not look good. They were defending well, but were not trying to score. In the end, they won a point and that is the most important thing. In their last game against Luton, Arsenal won 2-0 easily. Arteta rotated his team a little bit in that game to rest the players for this game. He has done a great job so far this season. They are unbeaten this year and by looking at the schedule, they might stay unbeaten until the end of the season as well! Only three days after this game, Arsenal will host Bayern in the Champions League.
Injury report:
The hosts will be without Kaoru Mitoma and Billy Gimour tonight. Jack Hinshelwood, Evan Ferguson, and James Milner are all doubtful. Other than that, they look healthy and ready to go!
Arsenal are without any injuries! Bukayo Saka did not play on Wednesday, but that was only to rest him for tonight! We believe that he will start tonight and make a difference on the pitch! Gabriel Martinelli could make his first start after over a month.
Prediction:
As we already mentioned, this is a must-win game for Arsenal. They are looking to getting closer to Liverpool. They have all the main guys available for tonight! Arsenal played against Brighton last year in December. They won 2-0 easily and were dominating most of the time. The only advantage that Brighton has is that they can play without any pressure. They are just looking to improve their record, but have nothing to lose! However, we believe that Arsenal will continue their winning streak. Arteta rested his main guys against Luton, so they should be well rested and ready to go! All being said, Arsenal winning is a value bet!
