Crystal Palace vs Southampton Odds, Tips & Predictions – 21 Jan
We return to London for a midweek treat from the English Premier League. With this…
Two teams with perfect records meet this weekend as Arsenal host Brighton in the Premier League. Ahead of the Saturday lunchtime 12:30 kick-off, our team of expert tipsters have been reviewing the forms of each side to see who might come out on top.
Mikel Arteta’s side had a perfect start to their 2024/25 Premier League campaign, winning both opening games by two goals to nil. After looking comfortable against Wolves, Aston Villa was next up, a side that beat the Gunners in both meetings last season.
With the win secured, it looks like last season’s runners-up are showing no signs of weakness thus far. With four goals scored in two games by four different players and with two clean sheets thanks to the incredible work of David Raya, Arteta looks to be confident in his side to go on and get three wins from three when they host the Seagulls at The Emirates. A valuable three points it would be with a tough run of fixtures to follow as they face Tottenham in the London derby, followed by Manchester City at the Etihad.
The visitors also come into the match with two wins from two and just the one goal conceded. With question marks surrounding the Seagulls heading into the new season with a new manager, the youngest manager in the league’s history, Fabian Hurzeler, has had the perfect start.
The South Coast side put three past Everton on the opening day, followed by a superb 2-1 win at home against Manchester United last time out. With five goals from two games, can Brighton continue their undefeated form against another top team?
Arsenal and Brighton have met 25 teams across all competitions. The Gunners have the most victories, 13. Brighton has won eight, while the sides have had to settle for a draw on four occasions.
In the last three meetings, the London side has won twice, with the Seagulls conceding five goals and scoring none. They have won three of their seven away games against the hosts, with the most recent only back in 2023.
At Betting Online, our expert tipsters believe the match could result in a draw, with both sides turning to their defences and goalkeepers in their time of need to protect their unbeaten status. We also are backing Bukayo Saka to score a goal first in the tie. Find the odds for these below.
