Arsenal vs. Brighton odds, picks, predictions: European soccer expert reveals EPL bets for Saturday, Oct. 2

Arsenal will try to keep its momentum on Saturday when it visits American Express Community Stadium to take on Brighton & Hove Albion in an English Premier League match.

Why you should back Arsenal

The Gunners finally have their full preferred 11 after COVID and injuries left them shorthanded early. The opening schedule also did them no favors. But now they are putting things together, and they dominated in a 3-1 win against Tottenham last week. That followed a 3-0 win against Wimbledon in the League Cup. Arsenal won both meetings last season, holding the Seagulls off the score sheet in both. 

Arsenal dominated the most recent meeting, a 2-0 win at the Emirates in May,  outshooting Brighton 16-5. The Gunners allowed three shots on target over the two matches. Arsenal has conceded just one goal over the past four games in all competitions, and Brighton doesn’t take a lot of shots. It ranks 16th of the 20 teams with 64, so it might not be a busy day for Gunners goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but he has two clean sheets in three starts.     

Why you should back Brighton

The Seagulls are tied with four other teams a point behind first-place Liverpool, and they are having more success in the attack this season. They rank near the bottom in shots but put 32.8 percent on target, fifth-best in the league. Neal Maupay saved the day against Palace on Monday, scoring the equalizer five minutes into second-half stoppage time. He leads the Seagulls with four goals, tied for second in the league, and has 22 EPL goals in two-plus seasons. Brighton is fifth in possession at 56 percent, while the Gunners are 14th (45.7),     

The defense also has looked strong, with Brighton yielding five goals so far. Before last season’s Arsenal sweep, the Seagulls were on a five game unbeaten run in the series (3-2-0). The match at Amex last season was almost dead even. Brighton had a 13-11 edge in shots but the Gunners had one more on target (3-2) and a 51 percent to 49 advantage in possession.
