Brighton take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 31st at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton lost a number of players in the summer. Moreover, in the fall the, having fired Tuchel, Chelsea returned to lure Potter. And the decision to call De Zerbi looked interesting, but controversial. Still, Roberto, in addition to the controversial segment with Shakhtar, did not work anywhere outside of his native Italy. An abundance of failures was expected in the fall in such conditions, but still the tasks of “Brighton” were not canceled, and in the winter it was necessary to give results. And the first official match of December was a departure from the League Cup, albeit on penalties, but from “Charlton”, an outsider of League 1! However, on Monday they rehabilitated themselves for this by winning on the Southampton field.

Arsenal were honored with a visit of Arsene Wenger himself. However, one must agree with Mikel Arteta: his wards showed football worthy of his French mentor. Having conceded the first and losing the 1st half, the Gunners answered with 3 goals in the interval from the 53rd to the 69th minute. The main thing is that this is already the 13th victory in 15 matches played in this Premier League season. With such incredible statistics, even the recognized favorite, Manchester City, cannot argue, which is behind by a fairly significant number of points. But, of course, having such a pursuer behind, which has Haaland updating the scorer records, you need to show literally one hundred percent statistics in order to keep the distance. So far it worked, but will the players relax before the New Year?
Brighton have not lost to Arsenal three times in a row. Last season in the Premier League, they took 4 points, and in November they defeated Arsenal in the cup, 3-1. Brighton are not bad, but still the change of mentor affected them enough. And the current “Arsenal” may well cope with such an opponent, even on the road. We recommend betting on the Gunners’ win.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
