Arsenal - Brentford match score prediction: Surprise in London derby

Pundits are promising fireworks when Arsenal and Brentford meet in the London derby, but the markets are showing their shrewdness in predicting a rare goal-laden affair as the Gunners now turn their focus to the Champions League rather than their hopeless Premier League run.

The good news for the home side is that Bukayo Saka has overcome a long-term injury. However, players such as Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Riccardo Calafiori are still in the recovery room.

Brentford will come into the game following a goalless draw with Chelsea. However, Brentford have a poor away record and are unlikely to spoil Arsenal's party at the Emirates. The likes of Fabio Carvalho, Thiago Rodrigues, Joshua Dasilva and Gustavo Gomes are all out of contention through injury for the visitors, while Vitaly Janelt is expected to return to the starting line-up.

The odds of the match from the beginning were that Arsenal conceded 1 goal, won enough and lost only 82. However, this morning the odds changed to Arsenal conceded half a goal, lost money (won only 85). People believe that the distraction of the Champions League will cause Arsenal to lose the victory.

Some other fans believe that Arsenal will rain goals on Brentford, "because Arsenal beating Real Madrid 3-0 means nothing to the Bees" - but the market voice is different, when the over/under ratio of 2.5 goals to 2 goals has dropped to 2.5 goals this morning.

Anyway, with the odds of half a point, choosing the home team is more reassuring. You can even choose the under when the match promises not many goals.

The score of 1-0 currently has the lowest price with a bet of 1 to win only 7.5, the score of 2-0 and 2-1 are priced at 7.9 and 8 respectively. However, many people also believe in a draw result when the score of 1-1 has a bet of 1 to win only 7.5, and 2-2 pays up to 16.
