💰 Brentford vs. Arsenal best bet: Under 2.5 goals (-105)
Check out all of our soccer betting analysis and expert predictions this season.
Arsenal is dealing with an injury crisis up front. The team's creative outlets: Saka, Odegaard, Merino, and (recently) Havertz are all set to miss, and Trossard needs to pass a fitness test. Not looking great for output.
However, the backline and midfield are set. The Gunners have allowed only 17 goals in 25 games, nine of which came on the road. Arsenal will be able to keep Brentford in check.
Brentford has been sturdy at home, allowing just four goals across their last five home games. It should be a cagey, tactical battle.
Score prediction: Arsenal 1, Brentford 0
‼️ Feeling cagey yourself?
If you're feeling a little cagey yourself you can step up the Under 2.5 goals and consider one of the following:
- Arsenal to win & both teams to score: no (+174)
- Under 2.5 goals & both teams to score: no (+138)
🙌 Best Brentford vs. Arsenal goal-scorer prediction: Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal (+170)
Has Gyokeres finally found his way in the Prem? Well, Arsenal better hope so, given the injuries. The Swede has 13 goals across all competitions, but six have come across his last eight games.
With the long list of injuries, Gyokeres will not have the luxury of being just a target man - he needs to be the main focus of the attack. He logged only eight minutes in the reverse fixture, but he should get plenty of time to capitalize on his 0.61xG per shot this afternoon.
As with any goal scorer prop, you'll want to go no more than a quarter of a unit, ideally. Even with our best analysis, goal scorers are most just hoping for the best.
