Brentford vs Arsenal Premier League Prediction Match Details
The first Premier League game of the new year will see an intense battle between Brentford and Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium on Wednesday night. Can the Bees continue their brilliant home run, or will the Gunners build on their three-match winning streak on this home soil?
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford will come into this game on the back of a poor run of form in December. The Bees were only able to manage just one win in their last five matches of 2024 across competitions, losing three of those matches and securing one draw. During the run, Thomas Frank’s side was excellent in the face of goals, having scored six goals but also conceded nine goals, keeping just one clean sheet in the process. They also suffered a quarterfinal exit from the Carabao Cup, where they lost 3-1 to Newcastle United at St. James Park. They are currently winless in the last four matches across all competitions, with the most recent games being goalless affairs against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Currently, the Bees are sitting 12th in the league standings with 24 points from 18 games.
Thomas Frank’s side ended their impressive unbeaten run at home throughout this season across all competitions with a 2-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest. The defeat against Nottingham Forest was the first time the Bees had failed to score a goal in each of their home games this season, and they will be hoping to bounce back.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal are proving they can challenge the current table topper in the race for the title crown with their current excellent run of form. The Gunners ended December with an 11-match unbeaten run dating back to their 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Mikel Arteta’s men will come into this one on the back of a narrow 1-0 victory over newly promoted Boys Ipswich Town at the Emirates Stadium thanks to a first-half strike from Kai Havertz, and they will now look to extend their two-match winning streak. Currently, they sit in third place with 36 points from 18 matches, a point behind second-place Nottingham Forest, nine points adrift of the summit.
On the road, Mikel Arteta’s men have remained unbeaten in the last five matches across all competitions. Their recent away games saw the Gunners display an outstanding performance when they beat Crystal Palace 5-1 at Selhurst Park. During their last five away games, the Gunners frontline has scored 17 goals while conceding a goal in each of those games.
