Arsenal vs Brentford Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Venue: Emirates Stadium
• Date: 12th April, 2025

• Kick-off Time: 04:30 PM GMT

  Arsenal vs Brentford is set to take place on 12th April at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League match. The Gunners are in incredible form this season despite facing various injuries in defense and playing without a striker as well. Arsenal are currently second in the table with 62 points winning 17 matches, drawing 11 matches and losing only three. Their form in the past five Premier League games has been a bit underwhelming winning two matches and drawing three matches.

  However, Arsenal will be coming off of a 3-0 thrashing against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League which is a major confidence boost for them.

  Brentford on the other hand have their own aspirations to climb in the top ten of the Premier League table this season after a 16th place finish last season.

  As of now they are in 12th place with 42 points winning 12 games, drawing six games and losing 13 games. Brentford's form in the last five Premier League games has been poor as well winning one game, drawing two and losing two. They have been a bag of surprises this year drawing with Manchester City and Chelsea in the Premier League making them a bit unpredictable.

Key Players To Watch In Arsenal vs Brentford

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)

The Brazilian winger has been a key player for Arsenal ever since joining them. There might be a decent chance that Saka will be rested hence the spotlight is on Martinelli who is a big danger from the wing creating lots of goalscoring opportunities and even assisting and scoring on some occassions. Gabriel Martinelli has scored six goals and has four assists in 26 Premier League appearances in the 2024-2025 season.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Mbeumo has been Brentford's key player this season and has already surpassed his goal tally in the previous season. Bryan has amassed 16 goals and has five assists to his name in 31 Premier League appearances.

This implies a major improvement in his performances with him scoring nine goals and only six assists in 26 Premier League appearances last season.

Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction

It is quite obvious that Arsenal are very likely to grab a win against Brentford due to two key factors. The first is their impressive form against Brentford over the last three seasons not losing any match across all competitions, their overall form this season and the fact that they are coming off of a 3-0 win against Real Madrid.

The home stadium advantage is the cherry on the top with the Emirates Stadium having one of the most intense atmospheres this season.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Brentford
