Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal stumbled in the last round against Everton and only experienced their second defeat in 20 Premier League games. Despite this defeat, the team remains in the lead with a considerable points advantage.
The challenge against Brentford will not be easy. The opponent plays football with a lot of physical disposition, a lot of air ball, and a lot of speed in the counterattacks. Coach Arteta will have to organize his team well to nullify the moves of striker Ivan Toney, who is one of the best players in the position in the Premier League.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka have been Arsenal’s main offensive players in recent games. To beat Saturday’s opponent, the interaction between them must be even more effective to involve Brentford’s marking.
Arsenal’s winning project continues and there is no talk of a crisis in the team. The chance of victory against Brentford is great.
Why Bet on Brentford?
Brentford hasn’t lost a Premier League match for at least 5 rounds. The team ceased to be one that fought to avoid relegation, playing ultra-defensively until the end of the games, to a competitor for European Cups in just one season.
There is no mistaking the importance of striker Ivan Toney to Brentford. The player is one of the best in the entire Premier League and has scored 13 times in the current edition of the league, which features the likes of Harry Kane and Haaland.
But, as a team is not made up of just one player, Brentford has a good organization – in attack and defense –, which means that the team manages to create enough chances to score on counterattacks and set pieces, such as in the corners.
Brentford has what it takes to surprise Arsenal in this game.
Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Brentford
The home factor could be the main reason that will give Arsenal the favoritism for this confrontation because Brentford is a very difficult team to beat. The visitors are ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea, but it looks like they aren’t satisfied with just that: they want to get into the top 5 in the league at all costs.
To win the game, Arsenal will have to play very efficiently, keeping possession of the ball and defending very carefully.
We believe in Arsenal’s victory by a minimal goal difference.
If you put $100 into Arsenal’s win, you could get $40 back for a total payout of $140.
