Brentford - Arsenal predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 6.75 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Brentford to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Most bookies and expert opinions agree that Arsenal should record a decisive victory here. It’s a fairly one-sided matchup overall, and they are hard favourites despite playing as the away team.

Brentford’s latest away game at Brighton & Hove Albion was an inconclusive stalemate which persisted throughout the runtime. Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, however, the 0:0 result isn’t too bad for The Bees.

Arsenal were expected to secure a convincing win in the last round of the Premier League. They were priced at 1.17 to triumph, which they did – both at halftime and the end. However, the slim 1:0 result and a one-goal margin are less than what everyone hoped for.

The Bees are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Arsenal in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

European football is a goal The Bees are still chasing but after 19 rounds played, the situation is becoming complicated. Brentford are out of the Europa League fight at the moment and a defeat against Arsenal could even throw them out of contention.

Arsenal are currently in 2nd, trailing league leaders by 6 points. They have more than enough time to improve their position and the Wednesday clash is the first opportunity to do.

Rico Henry, Gustavo Nunes Fernandes Gomes, I. Nascimento Rodrigues will not be able to play for the hosts this Wednesday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
