Our football expert has assessed the betting for you ahead of this game between two sides that ended last season just one point apart.
Correct Score Prediction
Spurs have only lost one of their last five matches against Brentford in all competitions. That was at the tail end of last season when Spurs were in disarray and is no longer the case.
Correct score prediction: Brentford 1-3 Tottenham
1×2 Predictions
Our second tip for Brentford vs Tottenham is for the visitors to come away with all three points. Ange Postecoglou has put a greater emphasis on attacking football in his short tenure so far as he looks to maximise the talent the team has in forward areas.
Tottenham earned a draw at this ground last season but the club was in a very different state at the time.
Brentford lost just two games at this ground last season but they had to settle for seven draws. There won’t be a lot in this one but Spurs have the ability to nick it.
We can get odds of 143/100 for Ange’s men to win with BetKing.
Draw No Bet Predictions
Tottenham are the slight favourite but the bookmakers have had a hard time picking a winner for this one. We can get odds of 8/11 if we back the away side draw no bet with Bet9ja.
BTTS Predictions
The next one of our predictions for Brentford vs Tottenham is for both teams to score.
We have already spoken about Tottenham’s attacking impetus under Postecoglou. The like of Son, Richarlison and Kane will relish the opportunity to play in a forward-thinking side that creates an abundance of opportunities. However, this style means that more is asked of the defensive line.
Spurs will likely ask their fullbacks to invert and play a key role in flooding the midfield. They have showcased some defensive frailty throughout pre-season. They have conceded nine goals across their four warm-up matches.
Despite the loss of Toney, Brentford will be confident of creating opportunities for Yoane Wissa. He performed well when called upon last season. His performance against Liverpool was particularly memorable. The Bees averaged 1.84 goals per game at home last season.
Our Analysis of the Brentford vs Tottenham Match
Brentford performed well last season but they were unable to secure a European football place. Thomas Frank’s side are positive in possession and are a real danger from set-pieces however, it remains to be seen how to loss of Ivan Toney will impact them until his January return.
The future of Harry Kane is still a hot topic heading into the season. There is interest from Bayern Munich but Spurs are keen to get a huge fee for their prized asset. Ange Postecoglou is ushering in a new era at Tottenham and he would love to have Kane around for the upcoming season.
Spurs started last season under Antonio Conte. His approach was perceived as negative and the team often surrendered possession to the opposition. Ange is different. He likes his team to control possession and we have seen some of the hallmarks of his play throughout pre-season.
The visitors have shown real menace in the lead-up to this campaign and I’m expecting to see some exciting attacking football from Tottenham here.
Top Scorers Predictions for Brentford vs Tottenham
Harry Kane is expected to play the season opener against Brentford despite the speculation surrounding his future. It’s thought that a deal with Bayern Munich still needs thrashing out and Kane isn’t against staying at Tottenham.
He has proven himself to be one of the finest goal scorers in world football for a number of years. Last season, he scored 30 goals from an xG of 23.06. We can get Kane to score at 6/5 on Bet9ja.
Postecoglou to get off to a winning start as Tottenham boss
Last season was a forgettable one for Spurs. Their season fell apart fairly early on and they never looked as though they could compete for a top-four spot after Conte’s infamous rant. The hammering at the hands of Newcastle summed their season up but there is hope ahead of this campaign.
They have made an appointment that seems to suit the club’s long-term ambitions and have ditched their short-term approach. This will be an extremely tricky fixture for Tottenham but I fancy them to start the new era with a win.
