Brentford vs. Arsenal Picks, Parlay
Pick: Arsenal -1.25 Asian Handicap
The 1-1 draw in a heated fixture against Chelsea on Sunday means there’s now only a five-point gap between Arsenal and Manchester City in second place. Anything short of a win against Brentford could place Arsenal within striking distance heading into the weekend, increasing the importance of this match.
Arsenal is expected to approach this fixture with intensity, as shown in its recent home victories over Bayern Munich (3-1) and Spurs (4-1).
Brentford, meanwhile, has won just one away game this season, a solitary victory against a struggling West Ham side. The Bees have scored only six goals in six away matches, one of the weakest returns in the league, while conceding an average of 2.0 goals per 90 minutes at the other end.
Additionally, after losing the first-ever Premier League meeting with Brentford in 2021, Arsenal is now unbeaten in its last seven encounters with the Bees, winning five.
The Gunners have also won five of their six matches at the Emirates this season. The lone draw came against Manchester City in September, when Gabriel Martinelli finally broke City’s resistance in the 93rd minute.

Brentford vs. Arsenal Betting Analysis
Arsenal hosts Brentford on Wednesday evening following its 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. While not a negative result against an in-form Chelsea, the draw allowed Manchester City to close in on the Premier League leaders.
Brentford, meanwhile, sits mid-table after a 3-1 victory over Burnley and has actually collected more points than the Gunners over the last three matches.
However, Mikel Arteta’s side has won six of its last seven home league games and maintains a perfect record in the Champions League. The visitors, by contrast, have lost five of their six away fixtures this campaign.
Arsenal, playing 24 hours after City, will feel some pressure, but Arteta’s team is known for handling these situations with focus and control.
It’s no surprise that bookmakers heavily favor the Gunners, with the latest Arsenal vs. Brentford odds giving the home side a 77% chance of victory.
