We’re in the endgame now. The Premier League season has entered the final stretch with just eight or fewer games remaining for the majority of clubs. There’s a lot on the line at both ends of the table, as we know, and we’re bound to see plenty of twists and turns in the weeks to come. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal.
Brighton Form GuideFor Brighton & Hove Albion, any hope of silverware this season has come and gone - but that doesn’t mean their season is over. The fight is on to keep European football coming in on the south coast and even though this season has been trickier than the last, they still have the quality necessary to make some real waves between now and the end of May.
After exiting the Europa League at the hands of Roma (despite beating them in the second leg), the Seagulls took on Liverpool. They put up a really spirited fight but ultimately fell away in a 2-1 defeat, and then against Brentford, they were only able to manage a 0-0 draw.
Arsenal Form GuideArsenal are still very much in the race for the Premier League title as they continue to battle it out with Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the table. Mikel Arteta knows how difficult it’s going to be for them to keep winning between now and the end of the campaign, but it certainly feels as if there’s something special in the air in North London right now.
Outside of a 0-0 draw with Manchester City, which is a positive result in itself, Arsenal have looked pretty great in their last six games. They’ve been able to register victories over Newcastle, Sheffield United, Brentford, Porto and most recently Luton.
Match PredictionBrighton are a fun side to watch when they really get going and something tells us they’re going to be super up for this game against the Gunners. Arsenal, obviously, have more on the line, and we think that’ll manifest into a strong performance. In terms of a prediction, we’re going for over 2.5 goals scored.
