Brentford vs Arsenal betting preview

Arsenal won 10 and drew two of their 12 London derbies last season and, having made a strong start to the new campaign, will be confident of claiming another victory on Saturday evening.

The Gunners begin the weekend just one point behind leaders Manchester City and know that if the champions draw with Liverpool in the day’s early game, they will have the chance to move back to the summit by winning this contest.

It won’t be easy – Brentford rarely lose on home soil – but Arsenal are one of the three teams to win here in the league since the start of last season, while only a few weeks ago they repeated the trick in the Carabao Cup.

While they’ve made a habit of simply outscoring opponents at the Emirates, away from home they’ve had a more solid approach and that’s been reflected in the number of ‘wins to nil’ they’ve posted.

So far this season, they’ve let in just three goals on their travels – a league low – and the ‘to nil’ option looks a good way of squeezing some value out of a team who routinely go off at odds-on these days.

For the record, Arsenal are around the 8/11 mark to triumph by any means.

There are also a couple of bets worth considering in the shots markets – read on to check out our full verdict on this televised clash.

Brentford vs Arsenal key stats

• Since the start of last season, Arsenal have won more than half of their Premier League away games without conceding a goal (13 of 22).
• The Gunners have the joint-best defensive record in the top flight having conceded only 10 goals in their opening 12 games. Just three of those have been let in on their travels.
• Brentford have lost only three home games in the competition since the start of the 2022/23 campaign, although one of the losses came at the hands of Arsenal (0-3) in September 2022.
• The Bees have seen Aaron Hickey (hamstring) added to their injury list which also includes Kevin Schade and Rico Henry. Josh Dasilva is also a doubt.
• Arsenal will have Aaron Ramsdale back in goal as David Raya is on loan from Brentford and therefore ineligible. Gabriel Jesus returned to action for Brazil last week but fitness updates are awaited on Ben White and Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal to win to nil (Spreadex)

This is a bet which has delivered often with Arsenal away from home since the start of last season – especially against the lesser lights.

Last season, 10 of the Gunners’ 19 away games saw them win without conceding, while so far this term it’s three of five with Palace, Bournemouth and Everton all beaten in that way.

Arsenal have already won here 1-0 in the League Cup and something similar would be no surprise given how they approach road trips.

Back Arsenal to win to nil at 2/1 at Spreadex

Yoane Wissa over 1.5 shots (bet365)

Essentially standing in for the suspended Ivan Toney, Wissa has delivered time and again for shots punters this season and odds-against about him having two more in this game looks generous indeed.

Wissa has landed the 2+ shots bet in nine of his 12 Premier League games thus far, while he had no fewer than seven against Arsenal in the League Cup.

This will be different but the DR Congo international looks more than capable of having a couple of shots here.

Back Wissa over 1.5 shots at 5/4 at bet365

Ethan Pinnock 1+ headed shot on target (Sky Bet)

Brentford have managed more set-piece shots than any other side in the Premier League this season and also have the highest expected-goals figure from such situations.

It is therefore worth backing Pinnock for a headed shot on target, given the aerial threat he poses.

He’s landed this in three of his last six appearances and will be a man Brentford look for from any corners or free-kicks they may win.

Back Pinnock 1+ headed shot on target at 4/1 at Sky Bet
