Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction 12 February 2026
🔊 Will Arsenal take another step towards the title? The Gunners' match will close out the Premier League's 26th round. Mikel Arteta's dominant side will visit the Brentford Community Stadium, aiming to secure three points against a formidable opponent. The hosts are in fine form and are vying for a spot in European competitions, so they have no intention of surrendering to the league leaders.
Interesting Fact
Both teams have amassed the most points in the Premier League over the last ten rounds: Brentford with 20 and Arsenal with 23.
Head-to-Head
📊 Brentford have failed to defeat Arsenal in their last 9 encounters. Their most recent victory came in 2021. Since then, the Bees have only managed to secure two draws, both at the Emirates rather than on home turf. In the first round of this Premier League season, the Gunners comfortably defeated Keith Andrews' side 2-0. Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka, both currently sidelined with injuries, were the scorers.
Head-to-head statistics Brentford - Arsenal
Brentford Team Overview
Who would have thought that after Thomas Frank's departure, Brentford would not only maintain their level but actually take a step forward? Keith Andrews' squad is playing confidently and seriously contending for European competition spots. After two consecutive defeats, which were hardly deserved given their quality of play, the Bees regrouped and embarked on a winning streak.
They didn't just beat any teams; they triumphed over Aston Villa (1-0) and Newcastle (3-2). Both victories were on the road, although Brentford generally perform better at home, having lost only twice since the start of the current season. It's worth noting that Keith Andrews' side has no issues with character-they know how to grind out tough matches. They defeated the Villans while down a man, and the Magpies actually scored first.

Arsenal Team Overview
After three consecutive Premier League matches without a win, Arsenal have decided enough is enough and are no longer giving their rivals any chances. Mikel Arteta's side delivered two exemplary performances, dismantling a resilient Leeds 4-0 and Sunderland 3-0. They've significantly improved their scoring output, with even Viktor Gyökeres finding the net consistently. Meanwhile, their defense remains as solid as ever: in the last five league matches, only Manchester United managed to breach David Raya's goal, scoring three times from three shots on target in a 3-2 result.
The Gunners are performing so well that they're considered favorites not only in the Premier League-where they lead Man City by six points-but also in every competition they participate in. Despite dealing with injuries, the team's depth ensures they maintain their momentum. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has even gone as far as to crown the Londoners as Premier League champions, having settled bets on their title win.

Latest news
Brentford
🎙 Keith Andrews on the match against Newcastle: “It's hard to sum it all up briefly. So much happened! The overwhelming feeling right now is pride in our players and our character. I believe we responded well to every challenge we faced during the match. We played exactly the kind of game we needed to at this stadium.”
❌ Brentford have just one new absence. Reiss Nelson, on loan from Arsenal, won't be able to play against his parent club. However, he hasn't been a key figure for Keith Andrews' side, having spent the last three matches on the bench. As for injuries, nothing has changed: Fábio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, and Josh Dasilva remain sidelined with ACL injuries. Kevin Schade continues to serve his suspension for the red card received against Aston Villa. He is the Bees' second-highest scorer this season with six goals.
Arsenal
🎙 "Sunderland are a very good team, whose players make life difficult for their opponents. They are physically strong, straightforward, and well-organized, which made the match a long one. But we allowed them almost nothing. There was just one incident where our goalkeeper tried to catch the ball-I think there was a foul there. Other than that-nothing. It was impossible to truly dominate and fully control the game because their players know how to disrupt play, and they fought until the last minute. Today is a moment to savor, and I am very happy," Mikel Arteta stated after the latest match.
❌ As with the previous round, Max Däumann, Mikel Merino, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Ødegaard remain sidelined. The latest setback is Leandro Trossard, who became the first in the Gunners' squad to reach ten goal contributions (5 goals and 5 assists) this Premier League season. The Belgian was forced off during the clash with Sunderland.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
We don't see much potential for a match filled with yellow cards. The key figure here is the referee, and John Brooks averages 3.6 cautions per game. This is not among the highest in the league. Additionally, team trends suggest a total under 3.5 yellow cards. This bet has won in the last 5 head-to-head meetings at the "Brentford Community", as well as in Arsenal's last 5 matches across all competitions.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Arsenal have been on a scoring spree, but how long can it last? Their opponents are formidable, and Arteta's side haven't been prolific on the road, scoring under 2.5 goals in 12 of their last 14 away Premier League games. This leads us to the next bet - total under 3.5 goals, which has come through in 9 of the last 10 encounters between the Londoners and Brentford.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Brentford take fewer than 4.5 corners in their last 5 head-to-head home matches against Arsenal. What suggests a change in trend? Nothing. The Bees' average in home matches this season is among the lowest in the league - just 4 corners per game. So, we've made our decision quickly on this bet.
Editor's Prediction
Keith Andrews' side performs well, especially in front of their home fans, but it's concerning that the "Bees" have lost their last four home matches against Arsenal. One of Brentford's two home defeats this season came at the hands of another title contender, Manchester City (0-1), where the hosts looked lackluster and created little going forward. It seems likely that Brentford will struggle against the "Gunners" as well. Mikel Arteta's men are in great form and should extend their winning streak. We're backing an Arsenal victory, predicting a final score of 0-2.
