Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Brentford drew five of their final seven home league games in 2025-26
• Tottenham failed to win eight of their final 10 away league games, drawing three
• Igor Thiago scored 22 goals in 38 Premier League appearances last season

London clubs look evenly matched

Brentford could prove to be a match for Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday when the London clubs renew hostilities in the Premier League. The Bees have been excellent in pre-season as they look to build on an encouraging first campaign in charge for Keith Andrews.

They thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 7-0 at home last weekend to serve notice that they are ready for what lies ahead and, although Spurs also beat Bundesliga opposition 3-0, the scoreline was a little flattering.

Roberto De Zerbi may feel he has sorted out a defence that conceded 57 league goals last season, a record only better than the three teams that finished below them. However, clean sheets evaded them in a last-gasp 2-1 win over Chelsea Down Under and a 1-1 training-ground workout with Getafe.

De Zerbi has sorted out soft centre

Spurs have won four of the last five meetings against Brentford, but only one of their last five visits to west London with the other four matches drawn. A draw may be the angle to pursue here with Spurs desperate not to start the campaign off on the wrong foot and the hosts set to face sterner opposition than before.

Tottenham have been renowned for lacking fight and occasionally shooting themselves in the foot, but De Zerbi has shown he won’t tolerate fools. The Italian sanctioned the sale of a keeper who appeared to have lost some of his early lustre and bit the bullet by getting rid of erratic former captain Cristian Romero.

Sandro Tonali will be the classiest midfielder on the pitch this weekend and, although they will be more of a threat away from home when Dominic Solanke is fit, Spurs should have enough about them to claim a point on Saturday.

Bees’ Brazilian a better bet to score 

Brentford will rely on Igor Thiago for goals again and the Brazilian warmed up to his task by netting a brace against Eintracht. He looks a more credible scorer than his opposite number Richarlison, who he eclipsed by 10 goals in the league last term.

The match odds reflect how hard it is to pick a winner here, but the draw appeals given five of the last six meetings at the Gtech have finished all square. Those even contests all ended up either 0-0 or 2-2, so perhaps we are due a 1-1.
