Picks Summary
- Brentford-Arsenal Both Teams to Score (-122) at Unibet
- AC Milan-Fiorentina Under 2.5 Goals (-125) at Caesars Sportsbook
Brentford London FC vs. Arsenal FC
Saturday, November 25, 2023 – 12:30 PM ET at Brentford Community Stadium
Brentford
Despite being without their standout forward Ivan Toney for the entire season, the Bees continue to pose a respectable threat on goal.
However, they continue to struggle defensively (they were defeated 3-0 at Liverpool in their final match before the international break), so while they could score, it seems more likely that the Gunners will be more clinical.
Given that six of Brentford’s last nine league games have witnessed at least three goals, we expect Saturday’s matchup with the goal-oriented Gunners to be a high-scoring affair.
Arsenal
Arsenal are proving that their second-place finish from the previous season was no accident as they continue to thrive under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. However, as they travel across London on Saturday to face Brentford, the Gunners must establish themselves on the road.
Although they entered the international break with victories over Sevilla in the UCL and basement dwellers Burnley at the Emirates, their travel experiences have been unremarkable. Following their EFL Cup exit at West Ham three days prior, they suffered their first league loss of the season at Newcastle.
Nevertheless, the St. James’ Park loss was fraught with controversy; therefore, they ought to have resolved that immediately.
Premier League Matchday 13 Prediction, Odds, & Trends
Despite Brentford having suffered defeat in only one of their previous ten league games played at the Gtech Community Stadium this season (Arsenal has already won there in the League Cup), the relegation-battling Clarets are the only visiting team in the top flight to have failed to score there.
Everton claimed a 3-1 victory, and West Ham, Bournemouth, and Tottenham all netted at the Gtech twice; therefore, considering that Thomas Frank’s squad has scored in each of their last 19 home league games, it would seem that backing both teams to score at -122 betting odds is one of the most probable wagers from this weekend encounter.
Supporting Trends
- Brentford has netted at least one goal in 5 of their last 6 games in all competitions
- Arsenal has failed to score at least one goal in just 1 of their previous 17 games
- Arsenal has conceded at least one goal in 5 of their previous 6 away games
Score Prediction: Brentford 1 – Arsenal 2
Soccer Pick: Both Teams to Score (-122) at Unibet
AC Milan vs. ACF Fiorentina
Saturday, November 25, 2023 – 02:45 PM ET at Giuseppe Meazza
AC Milan
At the San Siro on Saturday, AC Milan will face Fiorentina. With four games without a victory in the Italian top division, the club finds itself eight points below local rivals Inter in the Serie A standings. A close contest could ensue.
Before the international break, Milan defeated Paris Saint-Germain at home in the Champions League, which at least provided some encouragement. Furthermore, they have let games pass through their fingers on a few occasions recently, so their form might not be as concerning as it initially appears.
There is hope that Milan can rediscover its winning touch, and this appears to be a decent opportunity against Fiorentina, whose finishing has been lackluster.
Fiorentina
La Viola has encountered difficulties in scoring recently, despite their most current victory against Bologna, which ended a three-game streak in which they failed to find three points.
The match ended a streak of games with few goals scored, as the previous three encounters had all yielded less than 2.5 goals. Their away performance this season has been satisfactory; however, their most recent road trip against Lazio resulted in a 1-0 loss.
Interestingly, the Viola also encountered a low-scoring affair against Lazio, as they have now scored less than 2.5 goals in 3 of their previous 4 league road games.
Serie A Game Day 13 Prediction, Best Bet, & Trends
After consecutive 1-0 home league losses to Udinese and Juventus, Milan could be absolved for their agitation. Furthermore, with 11 of their last 14 home games failing to produce more than two goals, this could be a low-scoring encounter between the teams that enter the weekend ranked third and sixth in the table, respectively. Take the under at -125 betting odds.
Supporting Trends
- Eleven of AC Milan’s previous 14 Serie A home fixtures ended with under 2.5 goals
- Fiorentina have lost 3 of their previous 4 Serie A games without netting a single goal
Score Prediction: AC Milan 1 – Fiorentina 0
