Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction: Lineups, Odds and Stats

*Odds are subject to change.

Brentford face Arsenal in round 26 of the Premier League season. It’s West London versus North London, as Brentford are hoping to break into the top six, while Arsenal try to stay top of the league.

The action starts at 8:00pm on Thursday, 12th February 2026 from the Gtech Community Stadium. Tony Harrington is the match referee.

Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction

My opening prediction is Arsenal to win (1.70 at Betfred). The Gunners have seven wins in the last nine over Brentford. Mikel Arteta can steer the Gunners to a fifth straight win, as they build on seven wins in the last nine over Brentford.

My second pick is under 2.5 goals (1.91 at Betway). Brentford have conceded only 12 times in as many home games, so they could limit Arsenal’s scoring opportunities.

I fancy Arsenal to win to nil, so I predict both teams not to score (1.95 at Bet365). Arsenal have conceded just nine goals in 12 PL away outings and can add to an impressive six away clean sheets.

Brentford Analysis

Brentford are seventh in the PL table (W12 D3 L10) with 39 points from 25 matches, four points off the top five. They have scored seven goals (1.4 per game) and conceded six times (1.2 per game) in their last five league games.

The Bees have opened 2026 in fine form (W4 D1 L2). Back-to-back away wins at Newcastle (3-2) and Aston Villa (1-0) give a welcome boost to morale. That pair of victories came after 2-0 defeats to Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

Keith Andrews’ side boast top six form at home (W7 D3 L2). Just one loss in their last eight home PL matches bodes well for this clash with Arsenal. Besides Nottingham Forest, only Man City came away from the Gtech Community Stadium with maximum points this season.

Fabio Carvalho, Josh Dasilva, and Antoni Milambo are all struggling with knee injuries. Kevin Schade serves the second match of his three-game suspension. No other Bees players are suspended.

Player in Focus

Igor Thiago is second in the PL top scorer charts with 17 goals. Even if Brentford struggle to find the net, you can find odds of 1.78 (Bet365) for Thiago to get 1+ shot on target.

Arsenal Analysis

Arsenal remain top of the PL standings (W7 D8 L9) with 56 points from 25 matches, six clear of second-placed Man City. Arsenal scored nine (1.8 average) and conceded three (0.6 average) across their last five PL games.

Since a shock 3-2 home defeat to Man United, Mikel Arteta’s men have reeled off four wins. In the league, a 3-0 thrashing of Sunderland followed up a 4-0 victory at Leeds. The Gunners also beat Chelsea to reach the EFL Cup final following a victory over Kairat Almaty to book a Champions League last 16 berth.

Those wins show the squad’s ability to bounce back. Confidence is sky high in the Arsenal camp as they enter this final phase of the season.

The recent return of Kai Havertz lifts Arsenal’s midfield and forward options. But their current injuries include Mikel Merino (foot), Bukayo Saka (hip), Max Dowman (ankle), and Martin Odegaard (knock). Leandro Trossard will have a late fitness test. Arsenal have no suspensions for the trip across London.

Player in Focus

Declan Rice – The Arsenal midfield colossus is dangerous from dead balls and capable of surging runs to grab a goal. You can back Rice to have 1+ shot on target at 2.38 (Bet365) or get odds of 6.0 (Betway) for Rice to score a goal.
