Premier League: Arsenal @ Brentford

What will be the match result?

Arsenal: Win

@ Brentford: Win or Draw

 

Current odds:

Arsenal: Win: (-125)

Brentford: Win or Draw: (-110)

 

• Brentford won the Championship play-off last season after years of disappointment to earn promotion to the Premier League for the first time. Their supporters missed the entire campaign but will be back in their new stadium for big time football, with the welcome of Arsenal their first assignment.

• Results aren’t overly important in pre-season but Arsenal supporters will feel a bit more optimistic about the new season had they managed to win any of their four friendlies. They lost 2-1 to Scottish side Hibernian before drawing 2-2 with Rangers and then followed those results up with defeats to London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.

• Arsenal are of course the favourites heading into Friday’s Premier League opener but Brentford will be buzzing, particularly in front of their own fans, and it would not be a surprise if they took something from the game.
