Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, Arsenal won 2-0 at home and have four wins and one draw in their five meetings before that.

In this Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction, Arsenal is coming as -150 road favorites. Arsenal has been the better taem this season and have been in very good form lately with four consecutive wins. They have been even better on the road, as they have seven wins and one draw in their last 8 road games, but Brentford has also been very good as of late, with just two defeats in their last ten games played. Arsenal has the second-best offense and the best defense in the Premier League and given their recent form, I expect them to get away with the road win in this one.
