Arsenal vs Brentford prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-11 16:30.
[p]Arsenal were on cloud nine in midweek as they blew European champions Real Madrid away 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Attention temporarily turns back to domestic matters as the Gunners feature in a London derby against Brentford, but despite being unbeaten in eight competitive matches (W4, D4), Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes are all but over. [/p]
[p]Keeping that momentum going ahead of the second leg with Real Madrid is key, and the Gunners look good value to do so here, entering this clash having lost just one of their last 15 league London derbies (W12, D2). The only defeat in that sequence was in fact Arsenal’s sole home league defeat this season (W10, D4), a 1-0 loss against West Ham, although perhaps notably two of those four draws came in games that directly followed midweek European action. [/p]
[p]Looking to take advantage of Arsenal’s current state of European limbo are Thomas Frank’s Brentford, a side desperately seeking consistency after a run of just one win across the last five rounds (D2, L2). A top-half finish is now likely the extent of Brentford’s ambitions, although edging closer to that goal here will be tough as the Bees have lost all four league games against the top-three sides this season. [/p]
[p]Having failed to win a single away league game between the start of the season and the turn of the calendar, Brentford now find themselves amongst the strongest performing away sides with five wins across their six league trips in 2025 (L1). Two of those victories came in London derbies against Crystal Palace and West Ham, which ended a shocking run of seven straight defeats in all-London Premier League away games prior. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Declan Rice wrote his name into Arsenal folklore with two incredible free kicks against Real Madrid in midweek, while he also opened the scoring with a header in this fixture last season. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa attempted at least three shots in ten of his last 12 league games, whilst he also took three shots and scored in this corresponding fixture last season. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Thomas Frank has failed to win his last seven touchline meetings against Arsenal (D1, L6), his longest ongoing streak against any side. [/p]
