Arsenal FC vs. Brighton & Hove Albion FC
Saturday, April 9, 2022 – 10:00 AM EDT at Emirates Stadium
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Arsenal are unbeaten in 15 of their last 18 home games in all competitions.
- Brighton have won just 3 of their last 28 games in all competitions.
- Brighton scores an average of 0.97 goals.
- Under 2.5 goals have landed in Brighton's previous 3 Premier League meetings.
The Gunners Gunning for Europe
With hopes to get back on track in the race for a top-four finish this term, Arsenal returned to their hallowed grounds whilst attempting to put Monday's shameful performance versus Crystal Palace behind them.
When the Gunners traveled to Selhurst Park this past Monday, absolutely nothing went in the favor of Mikel Arteta and his squad. However, Arteta was candid about the situation and admitted the 3-0 loss to Palace was an "unacceptable" performance.

Arsenal can take solace in their home record when returning to the Emirates this weekend, as they're owners of the third-best home record this season. From the 14 home fixtures this term, Arsenal has claimed 10 wins, and their only losses came up against the division's top-4 clubs.
Last weekend, Brighton managed to break a 6-game losing streak, but sharing points with Norwich City wasn't something to run home about. And with a mere 2 away wins since October, the Seagulls will require much more than what was delivered last Saturday.
Final Thoughts| Premier League Matchday 32 Betting Odds
The available EPL odds favor Arsenal to take all three points, and the current trends, squad depth, and importance of this fixture all point towards a home win.
Graham Potter's men managed to hold the reverse fixture earlier this term to a bore draw (0-0); however, the current form of Arsenal is incomparable to when the first meeting took place, and we should witness the Gunners bounce back in style on Saturday.

Southampton FC vs. Chelsea FC
Saturday, April 9, 2022 - 10:00 AM EDT at St. Mary's Stadium
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Chelsea FC are unbeaten at halftime in 29 consecutive Premier League games.
- Chelsea FC are undefeated in 37 of their last 41 games in all competitions.
- Chelsea have won their previous 7 away matches in all competitions.
- Southampton FC have lost 3 consecutive home games.
Champions League Downer, or Bounce Back?
Chelsea FC has its fair share of drama on and off the pitch. Still, as the Blues make the short trip to St. Mary's on Saturday morning, they'll want to avoid their third consecutive defeat after suffering a 3-1 midweek Champions League quarter-final first-leg loss to Real Madrid.
Following an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Brentford during their previous domestic meeting, Chelsea continued to send doubtful thoughts into the minds of their supporters with a disappointing Champions League performance.

All eyes have been on Karim Benzema, who slipped a trio of goals past Edouard Mendy. Still, the focus will turn to Chelsea on Saturday as they hold onto their 3rd-placed positioning in the EPL table with just 5 points separating them from London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.
Southampton has been such an unpredictable team this season, delivering world-class performances against the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, to then lose back-to-back games versus less desirable squads such as Watford and Newcastle.
Southampton score as many goals as they allow, particularly on home soil. The Saints haven't failed to score in 12 consecutive Premier League home games, which is a plus, but can they prevent this weekend's visitors from finding the net.
Final Thoughts| Premier League Matchday 32 Betting Odds
Chelsea FC are the natural betting favorites as the current Premier League odds stand. With that said, oddsmakers are providing a respectable -118 price tag on the Chelsea moneyline, reflecting on their recent results and schedule.
I believe the value is to be had on both teams scoring at -125. Between Southampton's unpredictable nature and Chelsea's recent downtrend, all signs point towards both attack forces finding it simple to get on the score sheet.
Score Prediction: Southampton 1 – Chelsea 2
