Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Brentford at English Premier League
The Gunners have been in the best form of all the Premiership teams for a while, and the recent few games forced us to think about them as the new champions. They are ahead of a very tough period, yet, this team has the quality to attack the throne. On the other hand, Brentford is on the decline and is near the relegation zone. The Bees need to come up with some solution on how to end this negative streak and get away from possible trouble.
Arsenal
Check out the last five EPL games Arsenal played – Liverpool 3-1, West Ham 0-6, Burnley 0-5, Newcastle 4-1, and Sheffield 0-6, all wins. They have been terrorizing the rivals in all aspects of the game, regardless of whether they are playing at home or on the road.
Mikel Arteta’s unit is entering the crucial phase of the season in a good position. They have an active result against Porto in the UEFA Champions League, chasing a 1-0 deficit and playing at home.
The fluidness in Arsenal’s game is amazing. The speed of the ball movement is at a high level, but what is impressive is the chemistry because we haven’t seen such compactness in their performances for a long time.
Brentford
The Bees haven’t won for the last four meetings and have only one victory in the last seven. Before playing 2-2 against Chelsea, Brentford lost three straight matches, primarily due to a horrible defense.
During the recent negative streak, their backline allowed 11 goals, and when looking further back in the past, the Bees conceded twice or more in seven of the latest ten meetings. That’s not very good, considering they visit Arsenal on the road.
Particularly when we say that Brentford has eight defeats in the latest nine away contests. Overall, the Bees have nine losses in 13 Premiership road meetings.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Trossard, Havertz, Jesus
Brentford: Flekken; Jorgensen, Ajer, Zanka; Rasmunssen, Onyeka, Janelt, Norgaard, Reguilon; Wissa, Toney
*at the time of writing, these lineups were relevant
The opening meeting of the season was in late November, when Arsenal triumphed at the Community Stadium, 0-1. Kai Havertz was the scorer of a late dagger that took place in the 89th minute.
Also, there is interesting data that tells us that Brentford couldn’t score in three of the past four direct meetings.
Brentford needs a miracle to stay unbeaten at the Emirates. With the way Arsenal has played recently, anything but their confident and easy win would be a huge surprise.
Our verdict: Arsenal wins
