Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction: Can the Bees sting the Gunners?

Brentford host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday evening (17:30) as the Gunners seek to keep up momentum in the race for the title.

Here are some of the best markets on offer for this top-flight clash.

Match Odds

Brentford are 10/3 to upset the Gunners here. You can back a draw at 11/4, while Arsenal are 8/11 to collect the three points.

Both teams to score is valued at 4/5. Over 2.5 goals is available at the same price.

Team News

Ivan Toney is less than two months away from returning to action for Brentford from his suspension. Bees boss Thomas Frank will also be without Rico Henry, Kevin Schade and Aaron Hickey for the visit of Arsenal. Keane Lewis-Potter and Mikkel Damsgaard are doubts for Saturday.

Aaron Ramsdale will be in goal for Arsenal this weekend as David Raya is unavailable to feature against his parent club. Emile Smith Rowe, Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey are sidelined through injury.

Over 3.5 goals @ 9/4

Before losing 3-0 to Liverpool last time out, Brentford went on a winning run of three games in which they scored eight goals, and on home soil they could really cause some big problems for Mikel Arteta's men.

Of course the Gunners have a lot of quality to hurt the Bees too, so there is a good chance that there will be a few goals in store in this London derby. We are yet to see four goals scored in this fixture in the Premier League but this feels like the perfect time for things to change, especially when this does feel like a tough game to call.

Draw or Arsenal (Double chance) and both teams to score @ 23/20

Although this one seems tough to call, with the quality of options that Arsenal have to choose from, particularly in wide attacking areas, they will be expected to come away with the victory in west London.

However, Brentford have undergone a mini resurgence recently and the international break could have helped them in that respect, which could make them a much stronger outfit for this weekend.

We believe that both sides will get on the scoresheet this Saturday and while we don't have an idea on what the outcome will be, there is great value in this double chance selection that will give you some extra insurance.
