Arsenal vs Brentford Football Betting Tips
Having fallen into the first two official matches of the new era under the command of Unai Emery, the Arsenal seems to have found the way of the victories. They are already five consecutive since the defeats against Manchester City (0-2) and Chelsea (2-3),
in a season that started at the end of August, exactly one month ago, in the reception of West Ham (3-1) for the Premier League. In the following days, triumphed in the field of Cardiff City (3-2) and Newcastle (2-1).
Last week they made their best debut in the UEFA Europa League group stage, receiving and beating comfortably (4-2 with two goals conceded after 4-0 and in the last 15 minutes) the Ukrainians of Vorskla Poltava.
Last Sunday, they then returned to the championship after two trips, and beat Everton 2-0 in a well-balanced game, but the Gunners managed to be more effective.
On the next day, which starts on Saturday (29th), Arsenal have the welcome to the difficult team of Watford.
Brentford plays for the English Premier League Championship, where he occupies the tenth round of the 7th position, just the first just below the play-off spot for promotion with 15 points.
A positive campaign, therefore, for a group that already has 16 goals scored and 10 suffered in the 9 days since the second division.
After three consecutive victories, which began with the triumph in the reception at Cheltenham, precisely to count for this League Cup, Brentford made two games where he failed to triumph, yet away from home at Ipswich Town where they drew 1-1 and Derby County where they lost 3-1 last Saturday.
I do not think Emery will make a revolution in the team. I expect some stirring, in the image of what he did in the Europa League, even though Arsenal have a tricky match on Saturday with Watford.
The Frenchman is no longer a boy, he has some experience as a coach and generally when he moves too much on the starting lineup, things tend to go bad, so I expect a mixed Arsenal team, that is, composed of some players of the first line and others less used, but may enter a young or another in the accounts.
Brentford is an inferior player, yet deserves respect, it is a team that is doing a good campaign in the Championship and that is characterized by easy marking.
However, Arsenal are at their best defensively, I think the stoppage for the national team has allowed Emery to improve that aspect, which was a clear gap in the first games of the season.
With Everton, Arsenal have gone for the first time this season without conceding goals in an entire match, something that increases the confidence of the defensive sector of the team.

I expect a game where Arsenal dominate in possession, in opportunities, with Brentford seeking to exploit in a counter-attack the space that the Gunners can offer, but also to try to split the expenses in a few moments.
With that, the team of Emery will have half way to arrive to the victory, not to win in the Emirates a Championship team would sound some alarms and would bring some ghosts to the fore, after five consecutive victories with Arsenal at this time. I do not expect a game with many goals yet, Brentford will have trouble scoring, if I score I do not believe it is more than once and I do not see Arsenal as a roller, even because if you catch up with a good two-goal difference near the end, I think you’ll manage the effort and start thinking about Watford’s Premier League game next Saturday.
