Brighton vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Our betting expert has three Brighton vs Arsenal tips for Wednesday, March 3, in the Premier League at American Express Stadium (kick-off, 7.30pm). Scroll down for the analysis behind his selections.

• Pascal Gross over 0.5 shots on target from outside the box @ 8/1
• Both teams to score @ 10/11
• Diego Gomez 1+ shot on target and Kaoru Mitoma to be booked @ 14/1

Gross can threaten again

The return of Pascal Gross to the Amex has boosted Brighton’s midfield, and the German has been a goal threat in recent games. In addition to his assist at the weekend, he’s had a shot on target from outside the box in back-to-back outings.

He’s taken seven shots across his last eight appearances, and his team have been notably better in front of goal across their last two matches. They’ve recorded seven shots on target in back-to-back games, so Gross and co. should continue that eye for goal on Wednesday.

Arsenal have conceded a shot on target from outside the box in each of their last four games. Midfielders Pape Sarr and Enzo Fernandez have each hit the target with efforts from deep against the Gunners in their last two games. Gross has plenty of appeal at 8/1 to have another effort on target from deep.

Defensive standards are slipping for Arsenal

Arsenal’s hopes of topping Chelsea’s 20-year defensive record were wiped away long ago, and now the Gunners are looking a little vulnerable at the back. Both teams have scored in their last four league games ahead of a visit to an improved Brighton side.

The Seagulls have been able to shake off their struggles with victories over Brentford and Nottingham Forest. Those wins have lifted Fabian Hurzeler’s side within touching distance of the top half.

The Seagulls have fared well against the league’s top sides, as they’ve scored in all six home meetings with the teams above them, only losing once. However, they’ve also conceded in each of those matches.

With the hosts scoring twice in back-to-back games, they should threaten the league leaders. Brighton lost 2-1 in their visit to the Emirates earlier this season, so back both teams to score once again.

Contrasting fortunes for Brighton’s wingers

There’s a clear tilt towards the right side of the pitch in Arsenal’s play, with both Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori capable of shifting over to form a back-three when Jurrien Timber pushes forward in support of Bukayo Saka.

Saka and Timber offer plenty of threat down Arsenal’s right side, and the pair have drawn a combined 59 fouls in the Premier League this term. Both Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto picked up cards when tracking back to mark the Gunners’ wide men at the weekend, so Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma stands out in the card markets. 

Mitoma has made 20 fouls this season, and he’s already been booked on three occasions. He picked up a card in the win over Forest, and he’ll have plenty of defensive work to do over the course of the 90 minutes.

On the opposite flank, Diego Gomez can benefit from the added space to continue his fine run in front of goal. The winger has scored in consecutive games, and he has the second-most shots on target of any Brighton player this season.

Gomez has recorded a shot on target in three consecutive games for the Seagulls, so pair another effort on goal from Gomez with Mitoma to pick up a card as a 14/1 double.
