Soccer predictions online for Brentford – Arsenal

The newcomers Brentford hosts Arsenal at the Brentford Community Stadium in the first game from the 2021/22 season of the Premier League. Let us take a look at it in these soccer predictions online what are about to follow.

Brentford are one of the new teams in the Premier League for this campaign. The Bees managed to do terrific in the Championship last season which allowed them to make this step to the Prem. Currently managed by the Danish coach Thomas Frank, Brentford made a very solid season and they deserved to make a step up in the hierarchy of English football.

At this moment Brentford have some interesting international squad. Because of being managed by a Danish coach this team currently has six players from Denmark. They also have players from countries like Spain, Colombia, Finland, France, Turkey, Ghana, Germany, Czech Republic, Jamaica and Grenada. The current captain of the taem is the Swedish centre-back Pontus Jansson who’s a former player for clubs like Torino and Leeds United.

Despite having an international squad at their disposal, Brentford are aware it would be really difficult for them to keep their place in the Premier League. At least it’s usually the situation for the newcomers, although sometimes some of them are doing major surprises. We should have our answers as the season progresses.

Brentford’s Ivan Toney is the player who finished the 2020/21 season as the Championship best goalscorer. The 25-years old striker managed to score 33 goals in the league, showing and proving his goalscoring instincts. Surely Toney would be one of Brentford’s biggest hopes for survival in the upcoming season. The previous campaign was his first for the Bees and he showed how important he could be for this team.

Another player who would be extra important for Brentford is the Spanish goalkeeper David Raya. The 25-years old should have a lot of work, and his performance would be vital for the Bees’ results in the Premier League. Raya is a curious case because he’s born in Spain, but his whole professional career proceeds in English football. In 2012 he was signed by Blackburn Rovers, but since 2019 he’s playing for Brentford.

Another key player for the Bees is the talented right winger Bryan Mbeumo. Although just 21-years of age, Mbeumo is now one of the most expensive players in Brentford’s squad. The club signed him from Troyes in 2019 and since then Mbeumo is prolific for the team scoring 23 league goals in 86 games. He’s a constant danger on the right flank so the opponents must be really careful with him.

Arsenal will hope to do much better compared to the disappointing previous season they had in the Premier League. Despite finishing 8th in the standings, Mikel Arteta got a vote of confidence from the club’s board, and he’s going to coach the team for the next season, too. One thing is for sure, though – the Spanish manager is walking on the edge now, he needs a much better performance from his team to keep his job.

So far Arsenal did just one piece of business on the transfer market. The Gunners boosted their left flank with the 21-years old talent Nuno Tavares from Benfica. If everything goes according to the plan, Tavares should be a great investment for Arsenal’s future. He’s quick and technical, so he should boost Arsenal’s left-back position and improve it.

According to the press rumours, Arsenal is really close to signing another defender as well. That’s Brighton & Hove Albion’s centre-back Ben White. The 23-years old was terrific for the Seagulls last season, so now the Gunners are getting ready to pay 50 million for his services. This would make him one of the most expensive defenders in the history of English football. Arsenal is surely a team that needs an improvement of defense, but is Ben White the right man for the job? Only time will tell.

At the same time Arsenal said goodbye to few players. David Luiz left the club as a free agent while Martin Odegaard and Dani Ceballos returned to Real Madrid after the end of their loan deals. At the same time Matteo Guendouzi was once again sent to another team as he signed with Olympique Marseille on a loan deal.

Surely Arsenal fans hope of some bigger transfer business than just these two defenders. The club also needs some players to step up and do much better compared to the 2020/21 season. Nicolas Pepe is one of Arsenal’s most significant investments, so he must start showing his impressive talent. At the same time players like Thomas Partey, Willian and Alexandre Lacazette could give more as well. The Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka made a solid performance during Euro 2020, so now the fans hope that Xhaka will play his best season with Arsenal’s shirt so far. He’s a player who could really make an impact in midfield when he’s at the peak of his levels.

For Arsenal it’s great news that they managed to keep their captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the squad. The Gabonese striker is vital for the Gunners, and his goals could be one of the factors that could bring Arsenal in the Top 4. The former Borussia Dortmund star scored just 10 Premier League goals last season, so now the fans hope of improvement in his performance.

That’s our soccer predictions online for the Premier League opening game between Brentford and Arsenal next month. The Bees have a difficult start on their campaign, but sometimes that’s exactly what the newcomers need – to start with excitement against some of the big dogs in the league. At the same time Arsenal are aware that they can’t allow themselves to repeat their average 2020/21 campaign. This is especially valid for the head coach Mikel Arteta who won’t get a third chance to impress. The Spanish manager won the FA Cup with the club, but now he has a lot to prove.
