Cagey encounter at the Community
Season overview
Brentford have won three of their ten matches in all competitions in the 2026-2027 season, drawing five and losing two, but the North Londoners are the more likely victor of Saturday's clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Recent form
Tottenham have a record of winning seven, drawing two and losing once in their last ten matches. They followed up a disappointing 1-1 draw with Getafe on home soil with a 3-0 win away to Hoffenheim in midweek, and those 90 minutes of football will have given a huge confidence boost to Roberto De Zerbi's side.
Brentford have won their last two games, but there is a general sense that Keith Andrews' side are a solid outfit and nothing more. The Bees have shown some attacking qualities in their 4-2 win at Stade Rennes and 7-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, but they are a practical, pragmatic side in the main.
Spurs are in top nick
The Bees have kept it relatively tight at the back at home this season, conceding just four goals in five matches, and have won only two of those games.
Spurs are favourites for Saturday's game and rightly so. Tottenham have won seven of their previous ten games and arrive with a touch more momentum than Brentford.
Back-to-back wins have lifted the Bees up the league table, but they are still some way behind Tottenham in terms of recent form and, despite their solid home record, the visitors should be in good nick on Saturday.
Brentford can make it messy
Odds and predictions
The away side are in the best form, but the Bees are a well-drilled outfit and can be trusted to stay in the game and make things difficult for their visitors.
- Spurs are 2.68 favorites for the game, with Brentford at 2.42 and the draw at 3.5.
- The last three meetings between the sides have seen Tottenham win two and draw one, and Spurs have not lost their two most recent meetings with Brentford at this venue, so there is plenty to like about the double chance option here.
- And both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, priced at 1.5 and 1.62 respectively, suggest this could be a high-tempo, chance-heavy game and Spurs can just about edge it in the end.
Head-to-head and tactics
The last time these two sides met in the Premier League finished 0-0, so it could be a cagey match with Spurs edging it.
Roberto De Zerbi's men like to play a possession-first game with aggressive pressing, but they know how to get men behind the ball, and have the quality to unlock Brentford in those half-spaces. The Bees, meanwhile, set up in a compact shape and have enough quality to cause Spurs problems on the counter and from set pieces.
