Manchester City closed the gap to just three points last night but the Gunners are hot favourites to respond with a victory in London.
However, it won’t be easy against a buzzing Bees side who have lost just twice on home soil this season.
Brentford vs Arsenal top betting tips
It’s no surprise to see Mikel Arteta’s men as 7/10 favourites tonight after winning five of their last six matches in all competitions.
They beat Sunderland 3-0 at home on Saturday but it wasn’t a vintage display and the killer third only came right at the death.
This looks like being another test of nerve so I’m going to combine an Arsenal win with under 4.5 goals, a bet that has landed in five of their last six. It pays evens with Ladbrokes tonight.
Midfielder Martin Zubimendi has scored in two of his last three matches so the Spaniard could be worth a punt for a shot on target tonight at a generous 3/1 with Unibet.
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona
It’s semi-final time in the Copa Del Rey and there’s a cracker tonight as Atletico Madrid and Barcelona collide at the Wanda Metropolitano.
These ties are played across two legs so Atletico will be desperate to make home advantage count tonight ahead of their trip to Catalonia next month.
They battered Betis 5-0 in the last round but that’s Atletico’s only victory in their last four matches.
Barca, in stark contrast, have won 17 of their last 18 matches so they could be worth a punt at 23/20 with Ladbrokes.
Hansi Flick’s side won 5-4 on aggregate when they knocked Atletico out of the cup last season but eight of those goals came in Barcelona.
So I’m wary of backing a thriller, even though Barca’s risky high defensive line usually leads to goals at both ends. Instead, I’m going to have a punt on most goals coming after the break at evens with Unibet.
Atletico Madrid Women vs Manchester United Women
It’s also a big night for Atletico Madrid’s women’s side as they take on Manchester United in the Champions League play-offs.
The Red Devils only just missed out on automatic entry to the quarter-finals after finishing with 12 points during the new league phase.
Atletico only banked seven points from their six games and United beat them 1-0 in Spain back in October.
This first leg could be another tight game and under 2.5 goals looks worth a punt at 11/10 with Betfred.
Both teams will probably play it safe in the opening exchanges and that makes the half-time draw another good option at 13/10 with BetMGM.
