Brentford vs Arsenal Match Prediction
Brentford’s surprise European push is still going strong, and their recent away win at Newcastle showed their confidence is high. But they have not beaten Arsenal since returning to the Premier League in August 2021. Arsenal remain top despite a recent league loss, and their threat from set pieces, individual quality, and control in the opposition half should tell. A 3-1 away win looks the likeliest outcome, even if the Gunners have a couple of doubts.
Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Arsenal

Brentford vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tip
Our Brentford vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tip includes:
- J. Timber Over 1.5 - Fouls
- Over 7.5 - Match Shots On Target
- G. Martinelli Over 0.5 - Shots On Target
- Over 5.5 - Total Arsenal Corners
Best odds of 17/2 at BetMGM UK while publishing.
J. Timber Over 1.5 Fouls
This looks a strong angle given Timber’s recent discipline record. The Arsenal defender has committed 2+ fouls in five of his last six Premier League appearances, which suggests he is consistently being dragged into physical duels. Against a Brentford side that play direct and look to win second balls in advanced areas, Timber should be forced into repeated challenges, making two fouls a realistic line to clear.
Over 7.5 Match Shots On Target
The data points strongly towards an open game with plenty of goalmouth action at both ends. Brentford matches have recently carried volume, with 27+ total shots in three of their last five Premier League games, and Arsenal have also been reliable for attacking output in this fixture.
The Gunners have registered 14+ shots in six out of six league meetings with Brentford, and they have produced 6+ shots on target in five of the last eight against the Bees. Brentford can contribute too, recording 5+ shots on target in four of their last six Premier League matches, which makes the 8+ total SOT line a realistic target.
Trossard Over 0.5 Shots On Target
With Martinelli not in the XI, Leandro Trossard becomes an appealing alternative in the shots market. He is averaging 0.5 shots on target per match this season, which already puts him right on the line, and he is also firing off 1.7 shots per game overall, showing he is regularly getting into shooting positions. If Arsenal sustain the pressure they typically do against Brentford, Trossard should see at least one good chance to test Kelleher, and one effort on target is well within reach if he is even slightly clinical.
Over 5.5 Total Arsenal Corners
This leg is backed by Arsenal’s recent corner output, which has been consistently strong. The Gunners have earned 7+ corners in three of their last four Premier League matches, and in that same run they have also hit 9+ corners in three of the last four, showing they are regularly forcing opponents into deep defensive shapes. Given Arsenal’s shot volume history against Brentford and their ability to pin teams back through wide overloads, six or more corners looks a very natural line for this match.
