Arsenal hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in round 37 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 5th at Emirates Stadium (London)
Well, you see Arsenal’s results at the end of the championship... Before the match of the 37th round, the Gunners suffered THREE defeats in a row... Assuming that the opponents can’t be called the top teams. The Wolves, The Foxes and Crystal Palace – they are those who pushed Arsenal out of the top 3, and now the Gunners have rather small chances of getting into the top 4. They have dropped to fifth place... But despite all these failures, the Gunners showed a perfect game in the Europa League last Thursday! The home team won Valencia (3-1) and made a good step towards the final match of the tournament, where it can actually win a ticket to the Champions League group for the next season! In general, Arsenal looks very good at the home stadium this season! And the recent defeat to Crystal Palace became the first home loss for the Gunners since January 25. Moreover, there were no draws, just victories! Therefore, the defeat with a 2-3 score was a kind of ridiculous slip-up! And in the upcoming round, the Gunners will surely delight the local public with another victory! Moreover, they are waiting for a completely upset rival...

Brighton somehow very quickly turned from a rather strong middle-class rival into a team that can really leave the English football elite two rounds before the end of the championship, without guaranteeing a place for the next season... For seven rounds in a row, the Seagulls didn't know the taste of victories and constantly dropped in the standings. Now the team ranks 17th and is ahead of Cardiff ( which is in the relegation zone) by four points. So, the situation is very strained. Nevertheless, it is extremely unlikely that the Seagulls will gain any points in this meeting... Firstly, Brighton itself cannot even score in FOUR away matches in a row. And secondly, Arsenal will be very angry in this meeting! A losing streak in three last rounds is a real tragedy for the team that always claims for the top 5! So, Brighton should count more on a misfire of Cardiff in a parallel match, rather than on their strength in the battle with Arsenal.
Everything is quite simple in terms of choosing the bet! The bookmakers give quite working odds on Arsenal (1.42), and I don’t see any reason to invent something else! Well, you can add -1.0 handicap for the Gunners, but it does not change the general picture much! My bet: Arsenal to win!
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win
