Arsenal are having an undeniably brilliant season and they have a very real chance of winning the title as we enter the second half of the Premier League season. Having reached a half century of points recently, Mikel Arteta’s side were found wanting at Goodison Park when losing 1-0 and this is a potential banana skin against a Brentford side who are also punching above their weight.
After the Bees finished thirteenth in the table last season following their promotion, they have built on that success and currently sit seventh in the standings. Their only three away defeats came much earlier in the season and customers will be looking to bet on the visitors when it comes to the Asian Handicap betting market.
Indeed, even if you think Arsenal are the likely winners, there are opportunities to bet against the Premier League table-toppers. Consider a bet on Brentford with a goal start or even a +1.5 goal advantage, with Ivan Toney likely to cause a few problems for Gabriel and William Saliba in defence. However, some of the Gunners’ football has been scintillating this season.
When the teams met earlier in the season at the Gtech Stadium, it was a comfortable 3-0 win for Arsenal and perhaps we will see them eventually run out winners here. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard will certainly carry a threat and it will be interesting to see whether Leandro Trossard earns a first Premier League start.
