Current streaks

Recent form

Brentford

Brentford's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Bees struggling to find their footing in the Premier League. They've managed just one win in their last six matches, suffering four defeats in the process. The team are currently on a three-match winless run in the league, which includes two losses and a draw. Their most impressive result came in a high-scoring 4-2 victory over Newcastle United, demonstrating their attacking potential. However, defensive frailties have been evident, with Brentford conceding an average of two goals per game over this period. The Bees have also been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, Brentford have maintained their position in the middle of the table, sitting 11th with 24 points from 18 games.

Arsenal

Arsenal are currently enjoying a strong run of form, having gone 11 games without defeat across all competitions. The Gunners have been particularly impressive in their last six matches, winning four and drawing two, with no losses. Their offensive prowess is evident, having scored 13 goals in these six games, averaging an impressive 2.17 goals per match. Defensively, Arsenal have been solid, conceding only four goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets. The standout performance came in their most recent Premier League fixture, where they thrashed Crystal Palace 5-1 away from home. It's worth noting that Arsenal have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with three of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. The team's current form has helped them secure second position in the league table, accumulating 36 points from 18 games, which demonstrates their consistency and ability to challenge for top honours this season.

Recent home/away form

Brentford

Brentford's recent home form has been impressive, with the Bees winning four of their last six matches at the Gtech Community Stadium. Notably, they've been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with three of their last four home Premier League games seeing them score four goals each. The standout performances include a 4-2 victory over Newcastle United and a 4-1 thrashing of Leicester. Brentford have been particularly prolific in front of goal, averaging 2.67 goals per game in their last six home matches, but they've also been vulnerable at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. The excitement for fans has been palpable, with 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of the matches. Despite a recent loss to Nottingham Forest breaking their three-game winning streak at home, Brentford's overall form at the Gtech Community Stadium suggests they're a formidable force on their own turf.

Their attacking prowess is evident, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. Notably, Arsenal have only suffered one defeat in this run, a narrow 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League, demonstrating their resilience on the road.
