My Prediction
Arsenal by 2I must say, in this Arsenal and Brentford scrap, statistics clearly aren't everything. The goalkeepers on both ends have been playing cat chasing lazer pointer, with Arsenal's David Raya clocking a 6.90 rating with 11 saves, and Brentford's Mark Flekken and Hákon Rafn Valdimarsson fetching a 7.35 rating and 7.1 rating on the back of 27 saves and 2 saves, respectively.
There’s been plenty of fireworks on the field with the powerhouses for both squads duking it out. On Arsenal's front lines, the likes of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Gabriel Magalhães, have been knocking opponents’ socks off with impactful performances. Shoutout to Kai Havertz, who has been flexing his muscles with 3 goals from the 6 shots he fired.
Over on Brentford, they're not exactly standing around watching the paint dry either. Kevin Schade, Bryan Mbeumo, and Mikkel Damsgaard have been making headlines, with Schade leading the race netting 4 goals from his 5 chances.
If we take a walk down memory lane, Arsenal seems to have etched their name on the history books more often than not against Brentford. They've outsmarted the Bees twice, with a 2-1 and 1-0 victory, while one match fizzled out into a 1-1 stalemate.
Looking at the regular season records, Arsenal clearly outdoes Brentford with a 10-6-2 record versus the latter’s 7-3-8. Moreover, Arsenal’s recent results have been hotter than a jalapeño, outshining Brentford who, frankly, have misfired lately.
Despite Brentford's honest attempts to keep up, unless they've secretly been brewing an invisibility potion for their players, Arsenal’s tangible advantage, evidently, paves the way for a win by, oh, I'd say a good 2 goals, would you believe it?
