The Gunners host the Bees at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening in a hectic midweek from the English Premier League. Arsenal enter the final month of what has been an entertaining 2025 sitting on top of the EPL, and showing no signs of losing their grip. Can Mikel Arteta's boys hold their ground and finally deliver the title? Beating Brentford would help.
Keith Andrews takes his Brentford side across the capital to North London. The visitors know the size of the task that awaits them as they aim to become only the second team to beat high-flying Arsenal this season. Can the Bees win and take all three points back to the Community Stadium? Their recent league form suggests it's possible after two wins in their previous three.
Traders working at the leading online bookmakers have Arsenal as their pre-match betting favourites to secure a 10th win in 14 starts. Will you back the hosts or take the bigger odds available on an away win? Perhaps you prefer to play the specials, calling the first scorer, handicap, total goals, and more. Flashscore's Frank Monkhouse presents his three predictions.

Hosts will bounce back
Arsenal head into English Premier League gameweek 14 with a record of nine wins, three draws, and just one defeat. The Gunners have scored 25 goals while conceding only 7. Taking a closer look at those numbers, we see Arteta's pace-setters are the second-highest scorers in the division after Man City, but they boast the tightest defence. That'll be key to a title challenge.
Brentford won at the weekend to move into tenth place in the EPL table. The Bees enter with six wins, one draw, and six defeats, scoring 21 goals, but conceding 20. Interestingly, the visitors have found the net more times than Aston Villa in fourth, but allowed more than Fulham, who are down in 15th. A fragile defence up against a strong attack spells trouble for Brentford.
Arsenal dropped two points at the weekend when held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea. The Blues played most of that match at Stamford Bridge with ten men, but took the lead. Merino scored on the hour to cancel an opening goal from Chalobah. Taking a point at the bridge is a decent result, and I'm confident Arsenal will return to winning ways at the first time of asking.
Tip: Arsenal win @ 3/10 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Arsenal beat Brentford, you beat the bookies.
Play the total goals market
Having advised Arsenal to beat Brentford on Wednesday evening in London, we move on to our second pick. Take this match to produce three or more goals from both teams combined. You'll find this bet in the total goals market on the bet365 app, with traders offering odds on over or under 2.5 goals. The match-winner, final score, and scorers aren't important here.
Using the latest stats and trends available on the Flashscore app, we can analyse the form of both London teams. A bet on over 2.5 goals would've landed in Arsenal's home wins over Bayern Munich and Tottenham last month. It was also the correct approach when the locals beat Slavia Prague 3-0, and drew 2-2 with Sunderland in November. Encouraging, but there's more.
A bet on three or more goals would've helped you beat the bookies in each of Brentford's previous three starts. They beat both Newcastle United and Burnley 3-1 at the Community Stadium in November. The Bees lost 2-1 on the road at Brighton, adding weight to our pick. A bet on over 2.5 goals would've landed in two of the previous three meetings of these teams.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need Arsenal v Brentford to produce three or more goals from both teams combined to win this bet.
Arsenal to win an entertaining match
Our third and final Arsenal v Brentford bet comes with the best odds of the three. We're betting on both teams to score in an Arsenal victory. Here, you want to see the home team win 2-1 or better. Arsenal must take the match and add three points to their already impressive tally, but you need Brentford to score at least one goal at the Emirates Stadium.
Returning to the head-to-head stats on the Flashscore app, both score and Arsenal win landed when the neighbours met back in January. Brentford enjoyed the home advantage that day, but Arsenal collected the points thanks to a 3-1 result. Recent meetings show 3-1 and 2-1 wins for Arsenal over Brentford. More of the same would do us nicely, landing a bet at a fair price.
Since Arsenal hammered Slavia Prague 3-0 on the road in the UEFA Champions League early last month, they've played four times. Both teams to score would've been a winning bet in each of those four, with Arsenal beating Spurs and Munich, drawing with Sunderland and Chelsea. Brentford found the net when losing at Brighton, Fulham, Sunderland and Forest this term.
Tip: Both score and Arsenal win @ 9/4 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Arsenal must win the match, but Brentford must score at least one goal.
