Our tip: Brentford – Arsenal: +2,5g

01.01.2025 18:30

The New Year’s Eve duel in the English Premier League will feature two London teams. Brentford, who last earned a point at Brighton (0-0), will be looking to take advantage of their strong home record against Arsenal. The latter moved into second place after a 1-0 win over Ipswich last round and continues to chase down leaders Liverpool.

Brentford has mixed memories of Arsenal. Indeed, they beat them 2-0 at home in their first game after promotion to the Premier League, but haven’t won against them since (0-1-4). However, they are extremely strong at home this season (7-1-1) and their unbeaten run here was only halted by Nottingham (0-1) in their last home game. Before that, the Bees scored 26 goals in eight games here! They have also won the opening home game of the new calendar year in the last five years.

Arsenal are facing their fifth London away derby in a row (and 9th league game in London overall, including five home games) and haven’t lost once in the previous four (2-2-0). Moreover, in both winning occasions (Cr. Palace, West Ham) he scored exactly five goals each time. The Canaries have also won the past three games at this stadium (in all competitions) without scoring a single goal.

What to bet on:

Looking at the current form of both teams, it is obvious who is the favourite. Brentford have won just one of their last five league encounters, while Arsenal have won three, including the last two in a row. And since Brentford have already scored 26 goals at home and the visitors have scored 11 times in their last three away games, we can expect a goal-fest.

Trust:

8/10
