Matchweek 14 of the Premier League has arrived as Brentford makes the trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. December is the busiest month of this competition, so get ready for a ton of games in the next few weeks.
Arsenal are -280 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +425. Fancy a Brentford upset? The Bees are +750 to pick up three points.
Arsenal vs. Brentford Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Arsenal started the season with an exceptional defensive record. That has fallen off in recent games, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last four games in all competitions. They have faced some stern opponents over that run, however, and Wednesday’s game feels like the perfect opportunity to get back in the clean sheet column.
Arsenal have won four of the last five matches between these two sides, drawing once. Two of those wins have come with a clean sheet.
No team in the Premier League has a better home defensive record this season than the Gunners, only allowing two goals in six games. They are due for a dominant performance with a clean sheet, and I think they will get just that on Wednesday. Their seven total goals conceded so far this season is four less than the next best mark.
On the other side of things, Brentford sit 12th in the table at the moment. They have been much better at home versus away, as their three points from six road games is the fourth worst mark in the league. Going to the Emirates is not an easy task for any team, but especially for a club like Brentford. They’ve scored six goals on their travels, with only four teams scoring fewer.
It will be tough for them to create chances in this one, and ultimately, Arsenal should be too strong and take the three points while also keeping another clean sheet.
