Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson leans towards the hosts and goals, with Brentford’s home form set against a Spurs side that has often edged this fixture.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Brentford to win | 6/4 (with bet365) | Brentford are a stubborn, physical side at the Gtech and the market makes them narrow favourites. Tottenham have won recent meetings, but home advantage tilts this one towards the Bees. Keith Andrews has defied all expectations and I’m backing his side to go one step further and qualify for Europe this season. |
| Igor Thiago to score anytime | (5/4 with Virgin Bet) | Igor Thiago was deadly for Brentford last season. The Brazilian notched 22 league goals in total, with 13 of those arriving in home matches (59%). Only Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak are shorter in the Golden Boot market for the new season and he can open his account for 2026/27 on the opening day against Spurs. |

How Brentford go into the game
Brentford finished ninth last season on 53 points, once again proving a match for anyone on their own patch. The Gtech Community Stadium is one of the tougher trips in the division.
Igor Thiago leads the line and gives them a real focal point in attack. Brentford will back themselves to make home advantage count against a Spurs side they will not fear.
How Tottenham Hotspur go into the game
Tottenham endured a difficult league campaign last season, finishing 17th on 41 points despite plenty of attacking talent. Greater consistency is the clear priority this term.
Richarlison and Dominic Solanke lead the attacking options, with Mathys Tel adding pace. Spurs have won four of the last five meetings with Brentford, so they travel with confidence in the fixture.
