Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 09/03/2024, 03:45  by Ian John in Premier League Predictions

Arsenal come into this game with Brentford in the best form of any team in the Premier League.  They have won all their last seven and scored an incredible 31 goals in those games, 21 of those in the last four, and conceded just three goals. A run which has bolstered their goal difference to a Premier League best of +45 and they have now scored more goals than any other team too with 68. The Gunners also have the best defensive record with just 23 conceded, which makes the fact they are 3rd in the table all the more remarkable. Mikel Arteta's team have averaged a goal every 34 minutes at home this season and they have not been involved in a 0-0 draw all season long. Their outstanding recent form makes them a very hot favourite to land an eighth win in eight games against Brentford on Saturday night (kick off 5.30pm).

Brentford's form under Thomas Frank of late has been patchy to say thee least. Defensively, they have conceded fewer goals on the road than the likes of Aston Villa, Chelsea and Wolves, but scoring just 15 goals has been a huge problem and one that the return of Ivan Toney doesn't seem to have helped with a great deal. With just 3 wins and a draw from 13 games away from home, Brentford have won one and lost seven of their last eight on the road. All three of their away wins have come when they have held the home team goalless, suggesting that if Arsenal were to score, then Brentford's chances of success look slim and given Arsenal's scoring record of late, that will be a huge concern for Bees fans for this tough road fixture.
