Arsenal vs Brentford Preview and Team News

Arsenal Team News

It’s been one of the most famous weeks in Arsenal history, and confidence levels will be sky-high ahead of the showdown with Brentford following a stunning midweek 3-0 win over Real Madrid. However, it’s worth mentioning that Mikel Arteta’s side have failed to win in three of their previous five Premier League matches.

Despite questions surrounding the ability of their attacking players, Arsenal are outperforming their open play xG metric of 41.84 after netting 42 goals this season. Meanwhile, they’ve only conceded 15 balls from an xGA of 21.84.

With an essential second leg against Real Madrid next week, Arteta could once again opt to take Bukayo Saka out of the firing line this weekend. Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz are all out due to injury. Riccardo Calafiori will also be absent.

Brentford Team News

The second half of the 2024-25 season has been inconsistent for Brentford. Thomas Frank’s men have dropped to 12th in the standings after going two without a win. However, they showed their excellent defensive credentials last time out after battling to a 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

Brentford have been one of the most exciting counter-attacking teams to watch in the Premier League this term, scoring 41 open-play goals from an xG of 42.03. Meanwhile, they’ve defended well, given that they’ve allowed 43 from an xGA of 44.78.

Aaron Hickey remains out with a thigh injury. Myles Pearlt-Harris, Thiago Rodrigues, and Joshua Dasilva are all unlikely to return until at least the start of May. Fabio Carvalho has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction 

• Pick: The Draw
• Odds: 4.16 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

The significance of the hosts’ upcoming clash with Real Madrid can’t be overlooked before making an Arsenal vs Brentford prediction. 

Rightly so, Arteta will be prioritising the Champions League at this stage of the season. That could mean there’s value in the betting market on Saturday. 

Brentford have won their last two away London derby matches in the Premier League. Despite struggling for a run of victories, their counter-attacking style is suited to coming up against possession-based teams like Arsenal. 

Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 2.12 (22Bet)

There is value in the under 2.5 goals betting market this Saturday. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in half of the last four head-to-head meetings between these sides. 

Meanwhile, despite allowing just 12 goals in their last 18 PL events, Arsenal have also struggled in the final third, netting an average of 1.81 per 90. 

Brentford have normalised 1.4 efforts per game on the road, and have failed to score in just 20% of their matches. For that reason, there could also be value in both teams scoring this weekend.
