Brighton host Arsenal on 19 September 2026 at 17:00 in a Premier League clash between a resurgent home side and a visiting team in exceptional form. Brighton demolished Coventry City 5-0 last weekend and have won seven of their last ten matches at the Amex, averaging 2.80 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Arsenal arrive on a six-game winning streak across all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, and have won seven of their last ten matches overall. The Gunners' defensive solidity away from home stands out: they have conceded just 0.25 goals per game in recent away fixtures and kept clean sheets in 75 percent of those outings. Brighton will be without Minteh, Mitoma, and Hinshelwood through injury, though their attacking display against Coventry suggests the absences have not blunted their threat. Arsenal have William Saliba sidelined and Christian Mosquera is doubtful.
Form and H2H
Brighton's home record reads W7 D2 L1 over their last ten matches, with an average of 2.80 goals for and 1.00 against. Arsenal's away form is W7 D1 L2 with 2.00 goals for and 0.99 against. The head-to-head record between these sides since 2017 shows six meetings with three wins apiece: Arsenal won 2-0 in October 2017, Brighton took 2-1 victories in March 2018 and December 2019, and the teams drew 1-1 twice in December 2018 and May 2019, with Brighton also winning 2-1 in June 2020. Arsenal's recent form, combined with their fortress-like away defence, positions them as clear favourites despite Brighton's strong home record and attacking output.
Best Bet
Arsenal to win is the primary selection. The Gunners' six-game winning run, defensive record of 0.99 goals conceded per game, and exceptional away form where they have conceded just 0.25 goals per game make them value picks in this fixture. Brighton, while dangerous at home, have shown vulnerability against top-tier opposition and face an Arsenal side that has kept five clean sheets in their last ten matches. Couple Arsenal's win with their Over 1.5 goals, given they have scored 2.00 goals per game over their last ten outings.
