Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction & Tips
The Premier League returns this Friday and the start of the season will take place no more and no less than at the Brentford Community Stadium, which will be the 59th venue to host Premier League football in history. It was a grueling journey for Brentford, who suffered nine eliminations in the promotion play-offs before making the jump to the top flight. It is a team that is characterized by its keen eye for talent and its transfer method that consistently generates profits year after year.
The combination of good offense and solid defense was the recipe for success for the “Bees” last season, averaging just 8.6 shots against per game during the regular season. Furthermore, he left his goal unbeaten in three of the six Cup games he played against PL rivals last season (G3, E1, P2-90 minutes) and scored at least two goals in three of those commitments. Those are signs that Brentford could be a competitive roster this season.
After two seasons in a row finishing eighth in the standings, Arsenal are expected to do better this season – especially since they won’t have the “distraction” of playing in European competitions for the first time in 26 years. With a series of new additions to the team, and with some signings still to be made, the ‘Gunners’ will hope to continue with the good performance they showed in the second part of the year. Only Manchester City accumulated more points than Arsenal from Boxing Day onwards (G14, E5, P5).
Indeed, only Manchester United can boast a longer unbeaten streak on the road than Arsenal at Premier League level (G5, E2) and Mikel Arteta’s men must be confident that they will extend that streak into this new season. . They did not concede goals in any of their league games away from home against newly promoted teams last season (G2, E1).
Players to watch: Brentford’s Ivan Toney set a new goal record in the Championship last season after scoring 33 times and also posted 10 assists. Eyes will be on Arsenal star Bukayo Saka to see if he can continue his progress from last season, after suffering terrible racial abuse following England’s defeat at EURO 2020.
Highlight: No London team has ever won their PL debut match (E5, P4).
