Arsenal vs Brentford Match Preview, Prediction & odds: 12/4/2025

The Emirates Stadium will host an exciting Premier League encounter this Saturday, April 12, 2025, as Arsenal take on Brentford in a key fixture on matchday 32. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:30 local time. Arsenal are continuing their chase for the Premier League title, while Brentford aim to secure a strong mid-table finish.

Arsenal Overview

Arsenal head into the weekend second in the league with 62 points. Mikel Arteta’s side remains unbeaten in their last five games and recently secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Everton at Goodison Park. At home, the Gunners have been dominant, boasting 10 wins, 4 draws, and only one defeat this season.

Their attacking trio of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and captain Martin Ødegaard continues to impress, while William Saliba and Declan Rice help keep things tight at the back. Arteta’s fluid and aggressive style of play has transformed Arsenal into one of the most complete teams in the league.

The North London side knows that any slip-up could prove costly in the title race, especially with Manchester City and Liverpool close behind. With a favorable fixture against Brentford, Arsenal will aim to grab three crucial points and maintain pressure at the top.

Brentford Overview

Brentford currently sit 12th with 41 points after a mixed run of form. They managed to hold Chelsea to a 0-0 draw in their last outing but have only one win in their last five matches. Away from home, Thomas Frank’s men have struggled for consistency, with eight losses in 15 games.

The Bees will likely rely on the creativity of Bryan Mbeumo and the physicality of Ivan Toney to cause problems for the Arsenal defense. Thomas Frank has been praised for his tactical adaptability, and he may need to set up defensively and hit Arsenal on the counter to have any chance of securing a result.

Head-to-Head and Match Prediction

The last time these two teams met, Arsenal secured a comfortable 3-1 victory away at the Gtech Community Stadium. Overall, in their last five meetings, Arsenal have won four and drawn one, with Brentford yet to win during that stretch.

Prediction

Given the current form and historical dominance, Arsenal are firm favorites to win this clash. However, Brentford’s attacking threat means both sides could get on the scoresheet.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Brentford
