SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Brentford on Wednesday night.
Arsenal vs Brentford (Wednesday, 19:30)
The Emirates Stadium will play host to an all-London affair on Wednesday night as Arsenal do battle with Brentford.
Mikel Arteta’s league leaders will look to get back into the winning groove after dropping points in a 1-1 draw away at Chelsea on Sunday.
As for Brentford, they will be aiming to continue their climb up the standings after moving into the top half of the table with a 3-1 win over Burnley last time out.
Arsenal Win
Arsenal have been a model of consistency at their Emirates home this season, winning nine of their 10 matches across all competitions. That string of victories includes dominant displays when dispatching of the likes of Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Bayern Munich.
That doesn’t bode well for a Brentford side that is suffering from severe travel sickness. The Bees have come away empty-handed from five of their six Premier League away days this season, with their solitary road success to date coming against relegation-threatened West Ham.
Over 1 Arsenal Goal
For the second instalment of the Bet Builder, I’ll include Arsenal to score two or more goals. Impressively, the Gunners have racked up multiple strikes in eight of their nine victories at their capital headquarters this season, including each of their previous three triumphs.
As mentioned, Brentford's Premier League away form doesn’t make for pretty reading, and that can be attributed to the amount of goals that they have been leaking away from their Gtech Community Stadium home. The Bees’ backline has been breached on multiple occasions in five of their six top-flight road trips this term, and that theme looks like one to follow again when they make the short trip across town to take on league leaders Arsenal this midweek.
Over 0 Brentford Cards
Given the magnitude of the task that Brentford are facing on Wednesday night, I’m more than happy to conclude the Bet Builder by backing the visitors to collect at least one booking.
Keith Andrews' side have picked up an average of 1.92 yellow cards per game across their opening 13 Premier League matches of the season, having a minimum of one name taken by the referee in 12 of their 13 outings thus far, including each of their six assignments away from home.
That trend should continue when they come up against an Arsenal team that is littered with attacking talent, not to mention 11 of the Gunners’ 13 top-flight foes this term have picked up one card or more, including five of the six sides to visit this venue.
