Brentford vs Arsenal: match statistics
As the league leaders, Arsenal displays significantly better form than Brentford, earning 2.4 points per match in the last five games compared to the hosts' 1.8. The Gunners have won four of their last five matches, while Brentford has lost two. Arsenal boasts better offensive statistics (averaging 1.5 goals per match away) and an impressive defense (50% clean sheets away, averaging 0.75 goals conceded). Although Brentford performs well at home (58% win rate), Arsenal achieves an identical win percentage on the road.
