Best Bet for Brighton vs Arsenal
Our best bet for Brighton vs Arsenal is Both Teams to Score: No at -130 (BetMGM) / -112 (FanDuel).
Over their last 10 competitive matches, Arsenal have conceded just eight goals. They’ve also posted an aggregate xGA figure below 1.0 per match. They limited Chelsea to under 1.2 xG despite facing 10 men for only part of the game. David Raya’s post-shot xG prevention also ranks among the league’s strongest.
Brighton, by contrast, have generated inconsistent attacking output. Across their previous 10 league fixtures, they have averaged roughly 1.1 xG per game. They also failed to score in four of those fixtures. Danny Welbeck remains a capable link-up forward. But Brighton’s chance creation from open play has dipped compared to early-season numbers.
Arsenal’s set-piece dominance persists with 16 corner goals this season. They’ve already equalled a Premier League record. Arsenal also possess an improved away scoring rate of 2.3 goals per game since January. Combined with Brighton’s moderate home scoring average, a controlled away performance with limited Brighton output is plausible.
Brighton vs Arsenal Prediction
Our pick: Arsenal to Win at -150 (BetMGM) / -155 (FanDuel)
Arsenal are unbeaten in five visits to the Amex since the 2020-21 campaign. They have also already defeated Brighton twice this season in cup and league play at the Emirates. From a performance standpoint, Arsenal’s recent stats from their last 10 matches show seven wins and three draws across all competitions with an average xG differential above +0.9 per match.
Their away form is particularly compelling. They’ve been unbeaten in 11 on the road. They’ve also shown a scoring uptick from 1.2 to 2.3 goals per away match since the turn of the year. Brighton’s home profile is respectable. They’ve registered just two defeats all season. But they have also won only two of their last eight league games at the Amex.
Their xG difference over that stretch hovers near neutral. Injuries could influence midfield dynamics. Arsenal may manage Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard cautiously. Yet squad depth has compensated effectively in recent weeks. Conversely, Brighton are without long-term absentees Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas, slightly weakening defensive continuity. So, Arsenal should sail through comfortably.

Same-Game Parlay (Bet Builder) for Brighton vs Arsenal
Bet $100 to Win $893.40 (FanDuel) Total Goals Over 2.5 (-106) + BTTS: No (-112) + Viktor Gyokeres to Score or Assist (+100)
Over 2.5 goals is justified by Arsenal’s recent away scoring surge and Brighton’s openness when chasing matches. Adding BTTS: No aligns with Arsenal’s defensive efficiency. The final leg hinges on Viktor Gyokeres. He has become integral to Arsenal’s vertical threat.
Across his last 10 appearances in all competitions, Gyokeres has averaged over 0.6 xGI per 90 minutes. His strengths include ball-carrying into the penalty area, physical duels, and near-post movement. They fit well against Brighton’s high defensive line.
Arsenal should win comfortably, score multiple times, and Brighton may fail to respond, so these three legs make sense. Arsenal’s average of 2.3 away goals in 2026, combined with Brighton’s recent four blanks in 10 league matches, makes this alignment statistically defensible.
Gyokeres’ shot volume averages over three attempts per 90 in league action. Hence, the likelihood of his decisive involvement is high. Arsenal usually dominate possession as they’ve been seen averaging over 58% possession on the road against non-top-six oppositions.
