Arsenal vs Brentford prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-02 19:30.
[p]Arsenal look to maintain their dominance in the Premier League title race as they host mid-table Brentford in this all-London affair. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Arsenal enter this round of fixtures sitting five points clear at the summit with just one league loss so far this season (W9, D3). That follows a week which saw them become the first team to defeat Bayern Munich this term before grinding out a draw against Chelsea. A fourth straight match in the capital awaits for the Gunners as they look to extend their 12-game unbeaten run in evening Premier League kick-offs (7pm or later – W10, D2). Their last such defeat did actually come in a London derby, but their rampant home league form (W6, D1) points to more magic from Mikel Arteta’s men.[/p]
[p]Alternating between wins and defeats across the last five Premier League rounds (W3, L2), Brentford enter this midweek in the top half and sit within three points of their hauls at this stage in each of their four top-flight campaigns since promotion in 2021. Victory here looks like a mammoth task though for the Bees, who have not only failed to win ten of their last 11 midweek league games (D3, L7), but have also failed to win 19 of their last 23 Premier League London derbies (D6, L13). Brentford’s woeful away league record this season is another source of concern (W1, L5), as it accounts for all but one of their losses in the division in that time. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Since losing his first meeting with Brentford as Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has gone unbeaten in eight H2Hs (W6, D2), although the north Londoners are currently on a three-game run without a clean sheet against the Bees. [/p]
