Arsenal vs Brentford prediction 09.03.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 9th March 2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
• Venue: Emirates Stadium

When they host Brentford on Saturday evening, Arsenal will be seeking three points to keep the pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City.

The hosts currently rank third in the league, but their recent games have demonstrated their readiness to ascend to first place if the top two teams falter. Mikel Arteta’s team gave Sheffield United a tough time in their previous 6-0 victory and had beaten Newcastle United, Burnley, and West Ham earlier with a minimum goal difference of three.

Going into this weekend’s game, The Gunners have a streak of seven consecutive victories. Another win is crucial for their Premier League title contention. They will, however, also be focusing on the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Porto.

Meanwhile, Brentford isn’t performing as well as they did last season. While injuries and suspensions have had an impact, they need to rise above these challenges and accumulate more points. Currently, they’re only six points away from the relegation zone. The Bees are entering Saturday’s match with just one victory from their previous six games. However, after their comeback from being a goal behind to draw against Chelsea in their last game, they are likely optimistic about their chances.

Arsenal vs Brentford Betting Tips: Both teams to score

At present, The Gunners are the highest scoring team in the English Premier League. In their recent seven league games, Arsenal has managed an average of four goals per game. However, their defence, particularly at home, could use some improvement. In four of their previous five home games, Arteta’s team failed to maintain a clean sheet. Given Brentford’s track record of scoring in 12 of their last 13 games, it is likely that they will concede in their next match.
