Brighton vs Arsenal Match Analysis
The Brighton & Hove Albion team will face Arsenal at the Amex Stadium in an important Premier League game on January 4, 2025. Arsenal, which is in the title race, wants to continue its good form, while Brighton hopes to end a five-game winless streak.
Brighton has not been doing well lately, not winning any of their last five matches. Despite this poor run, the Seagulls are still in the middle of the table, showing some stability from earlier in the season. With just three points from their last five games, manager Roberto De Zerbi needs to motivate his team to get back to winning ways.
The team’s home performance this season has been okay, getting an average of 1.56 points per game at the Amex Stadium. Brighton has also faced some injuries, but the expected return of Adam Webster and Solly March might help. There are still concerns about Ferdi Kadioglu, Danny Welbeck, and Jack Hinshelwood.
Arsenal comes into this match with good momentum, having beaten Crystal Palace 5-1 and winning 3-2 against the same team in the EFL Cup. These wins come after two disappointing draws against Fulham and Everton, leaving the Gunners in third place in the league.
With a strong away record of 1.67 points per game this season, Arsenal has shown they can perform well on the road. However, injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, and Ben White could be an issue. Mikel Arteta will hope Gabriel Jesus keeps his excellent form, having scored five goals in his last two matches across all competitions.
Brighton and Arsenal have had a competitive rivalry in recent seasons. In their last 18 meetings, Arsenal has won 8 times, while Brighton has won 6 times, and there have been 4 draws.
Arsenal has won their last two Premier League games at the Amex Stadium convincingly, with scores of 3-0 and 4-2. Brighton’s defensive weaknesses could be a chance for Arsenal to take advantage.
