Brentford vs Arsenal Preview
Brentford
In December, Brentford noticeably declined. Under the leadership of Thomas Frank, the team suffered three defeats in five Premier League matches, grabbing only one victory and a draw. They managed to beat Newcastle but afterwards suffered a crushing defeat at the EFL Cup.
The last match against Brighton showcased Brentford’s poor performance in the offence. The Seagulls were dominant in the offence, and it was a miracle that they did not win a match.
Now, the Bees face a much more difficult task as they take on one of the leaders, Arsenal. Despite being one of the best sides at home, they’ve struggled against the Gunners in their H2H matches.
Arsenal
Arsenal have continued their unbeaten streak in the Premier League since the beginning of November. During this time, the team have played four away matches without a single defeat. The Londoners are among the four best teams in away games, having conceded only 10 goals.
After a draw with Everton, Arsenal grabbed three straight victories. They continued to pursue the leaders, but the gap was too big for the guests.
The major blow for the Gunners is Bukayo Saka’s injury. In an interview with the British media, Arteta suggested that Kai Havertz could take Saka’s place on the right flank. In this case, Gabriel Jesus will continue to play as a sole forward. The recently returned Riccardo Calafiori solved the problem on the flanks of the defense.
Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction
- Pick: Arsenal to Win
- Odds: –218 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Brentford 0-2 Arsenal
After a relatively difficult period, Mikel Arteta’s team have managed to bounce back with two straight Premier League victories. Though the last-round match against Ipswich was a lacklustre one, the hosts held the initiative.
In the previous five H2H matches, Arsenal managed to beat Brentford four times. We expect the streak to continue in this clash, considering the latter’s recent poor form.
Arsenal will try to seize the initiative from the beginning and focus on scoring a fast goal. Brentford struggle against top-tier teams. Their only chance will be counterattacks, which the Gunners can effectively thwart.
Our first pick in this game is Arsenal to win.
Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +150 (20Bet)
Despite Brentford’s attacking style, the team started to play more pragmatically in the defence. This was visible against Brighton. Even though the hosts had plenty of chances, they managed to hold a draw.
As for Arsenal, they have deteriorated significantly in terms of the offence. The match against Ipswich was a demonstration that Mikel Arteta’s team are far from their ideal form. They only grabbed a minimal victory.
We expect Brentford to play more cautiously and not allow their opposition too many chances. Arsenal’s defence is one of the best in the league, and our second pick for this match is under 2.5 goals.
