Arsenal vs Brentford Predictions

• Arsenal have scored 31 goals across their last seven league games.
• A late Kai Havertz strike saw the Gunners win the reverse fixture 1-0.
• Brentford have lost seven of their last eight league away games.

Gunners to continue winning streak.

Arsenal have been in incredible form in 2024, winning each of their seven league matches to start the year and scoring at will in the process.

Of their 31 league strikes since the turn of the year, 12 of these have come at the Emirates Stadium in emphatic victories over Crystal Palace and Newcastle as well as a 3-1 win over Liverpool in a result which could be pivotal in deciding the destination of the title come the end of the season.

This form will undoubtedly cause concern for Thomas Frank’s men given that the Bees are flirting with relegation, lying just six points above the bottom three and with just one victory across their last seven.

Their recent travels fellow London grounds have not proved to be fruitful this season, suffering defeats in high-scoring encounters to West Ham, Tottenham and Crystal Palace and another defeat looks a real possibility when they travel to the Emirates.

Gunners to continue firing on all cylinders

Given their recent exploits in front of goal, the goal market looks to be the area where punters could find the most joy.

2024 has seen Mikel Arteta’s men register high-scoring victories over Crystal Palace (5-0), West Ham (6-0) and most recently Sheffield United (6-0), with the Gunner’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Brentford have kept just one clean sheet in all competitions since their 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in October and have leaked 50 goals in the league this season, the highest number of any side outside of the bottom three.

With injuries to key defenders Ben Mee, Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey, the Bees are stretched thin in defensive cover and could find things difficult against the league’s in-form attack.

Gabriel could rise above the rest

No side has scored more goals from set pieces this season than Arsenal, who have converted 18 times from set plays.

Centre-back Gabriel has already scored four goals in the league this season – one shy of his best ever tally – and the Brazilian could make himself a nuisance in the box against Brentford’s leaky backline. A heavy victory could be in store again for the Gunner’s, with a 4-0 victory appealing the most.
