Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
Last Friday, following the 1: 2 home defeat in the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt, Unai Emery was dismissed. The performance was once more shameful and Emirates Stadium was more empty than ever before in the more than 13 years since it opened. Surprisingly, this dimission no longer came, it was already apparent for weeks. Until the Arsenal Football Club (ranked 8, 19 points), however, presents a nine head coach, should pass a few days.
Nobody seems to have been prepared for the dismissal in the club headquarters. The candidate list is long. This is followed by names such as Premier League veteran Rafa Benitez, former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo, Guardiola assistant Mikel Arteta, ex-Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino, Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe and Brendan Rodgers.
The Nordire is due to the current performance of the current second-placed Leicester City, the favorite candidate of the fans and numerous Arsenal legends who now earn their money as a TV or radio experts.
Rodgers should have an exit clause of 15 million pounds in his contract. Addressed at the press conference before Leicester’s home game against Watford on Wednesday, Rodgers responded simply that he believed every coach had such a clause, but he was happy in Leicester.
A true allegiance to his colors sounds different. That Rodgers did not have a problem with his desertion during the season, he proved to Celtic Glasgow in February when he left his childhood sweetheart on the way to the Triple Treble in a night and fog action against England. Of course, Leicester is the surprise of the season so far and clearly on the Champions League course, but of course Rodgers also knows that Leicester’s success hangs by the thread.
An injury to Talisman Jamie Vardy and the Leicester structure may collapse like a house of cards. In addition, Leicester will remain a club that has to hand over its best players to the established top six clubs. Arsenal is the bigger club and has the bigger reputation.
In addition, a change for Rodgers should pay off financially and be much more interesting in the long run. Rodgers is said to have once revealed to friends that the coaching job at the Gunners would be his absolute dream job. As absurd as a change Rodgers appears at first glance, he is on closer inspection so no longer.
Arsenal:
These are numbers that conjure a joyful smile to every Tottenham fan. For fans of the Gunners, however, it is worse than any horror movie. Arsenal have been without matches for eight matches (0-6-2).
Such a negative run the Gunners last time in February 1992 (also eight games), so before the introduction of the Premier League. Should Arsenal not win on Thursday, this would mean the bad series since March 1977 for the club from the capital.
At that time, the North Londoners even ten competitive matches without success. We do not believe in a repetition this time. We share the view of the bookies, and in our prediction, between Arsenal and Brighton, we suggest a home victory for the best choice. In the Premier League Arsenal is the first time since August 2011 for six games without a win (0-4-2).
One of Emery’s biggest problems, as well as Wegner’s recent years, was the vulnerable defensive. This must also be the first starting point for interim coach Freddie Ljungberg. Arsenal only conceded twice this season (second-lowest in the league). Never before had Arsenal been 14 goals clear of a major defender of the league leaders. Currently there are 21 points between leaders Liverpool and Arsenal.
In domestic Emirates Stadium, however, there was only one defeat in the last 25 Premier League home games (17-7-1). Nevertheless, the Gunners are there for three league games winless (three draws). Arsenal had four home matches without a threesome for the last time in August 2012, but at that time it was seasonal.
During a season at least four winless home games since February 1995, there was not more (then eight). In addition, the Gunners scored only in two of the last 59 Premier League games no goal in front of home crowd. Both times against Manchester City (0-3 in March 2018, 0-2 in August 2018). The offensive is generally not the Gunners’ big drag. This is especially ensured by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese has been captain of the North Londoners since the exchange clap to Granit Xhaka. In the season Aubameyang comes to ten league goals and thus to exactly the number that has the rest of the Arsenal squad in total. In home games he regularly receives support from Alexandre Lacazette. The Frenchman scored 24 of his 31 Premier League goals in the Emirates (77 percent). No other player with at least 30 goals in the league gets a higher score.
In Norwich, Aubameyang and Lacazette were together for the 36th time in a competitive match, scoring a total of 42 goals (26 for Aubameyang, 16 for Lacazette). Last season, ex-Dortmunder Aubameyang scored in both games for the Gunners against Brighton within the first ten minutes. In the end, both games went out 1-1, respectively. Dani Ceballos does not matter hurt.
Brighton :
It was one of the craziest goals of the previous Premier League season. Center-back Lewis Dunk took advantage of the inattention of the Liverpool back line, which was still busy posting the wall. When the referee released the ball, Dunk shot him flat past all Liverpoolers into the left corner.
However, Brighton failed to make more than a first-half goal on Saturday, despite having outnumbered in the last 15 minutes. Thus, the Seagulls are waiting for a success with an established top six team.
Brighton was only able to get one out of a possible 45 points away (15 games | 0-1-14) and scored only five goals. Two of these five goals are scored in the latest two away matches of this type. In Liverpool and a few weeks ago at Old Trafford at Man United.
Betting providers are unlikely to put an end to this trend as the Seagulls are offered the lower odds for a tip in the match between Arsenal and Brighton. This is also because Brighton has been away from home for six Premier League games (0-1-5).
Only on the first matchday of the season could be won in Watford 3-0. Only three goals have been scored in this period, all scored by defenders. The last four Premier League away games have been lost in a row.
Five consecutive defeats in the Premier League, however, have never been in the Premier League for Brighton. In March 2006, Brighton once lost eight away games in series and then rose from the second-rate championship in the third-rate League One from. In addition to the two away games in Liverpool and Manchester, Leicester were also lost at home, which is why Brighton will travel to London with a series of three consecutive bankruptcies.
In addition, Brighton suffered in the 2019 calendar year already 18 defeats (eleven of them with former coach Chris Hughton). No other Premier League team lost more than the East Sussex club in 2019.
For Brighton it will be the first Premier League match on a Thursday. However, Brighton has been winless for seven games that took place during the week (Tuesday and Wednesday) – the last five of which were lost (0-2-5). To surprise at Arsenal, perhaps a standard goal is needed again.
Six of the last eight Premier League goals resulted from a dormant ball (three free kicks, one corner, one penalty). The first eight goals of the season were scored out of the game. Standards are generally a strength of the Seagulls. Since August 2018, only Liverpool (40) and Bournemouth (31) have achieved more standard goals than Brighton (25). José Izquierdo, Bernardo and Solly March are all injured.
