The new Premier League season gets going with Brentford vs Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium, a fixture that has become a familiar stalemate in recent years.
Brentford open up at home off the back of a ninth-place finish last term, and the Bees remain a stubborn side to break down on their own patch.
Tottenham arrive with a huge injury list and a new-look backline, hoping to lean on an away record that reads unbeaten in their last six trips here in all competitions.
Tottenham have kept a clean sheet in their last three matches against Brentford in all competitions, and the previous six meetings in the Premier League have produced just two home wins for Brentford.
Brentford vs Tottenham Form
Brentford go into their opener in good nick, having thumped Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt 7-0 in pre-season. The Bees were a handful at home last term, losing just three times at the Gtech and seeing off the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa. Igor Thiago, who managed a 26.2% shot conversion rate last season, leads the line again.
Tottenham come in light in attack and carrying a lengthy injury list into the first game of the campaign. Their recent form against the Bees is a mixed bag, but Spurs lean on a strong opening-day record, having lost just once on the first weekend in the last ten years. New signings Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson are all set for debuts in a fresh backline.

Brentford vs Tottenham Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This has the makings of another tight, low-key affair between two sides that rarely give an inch. Brentford are marginal home favourites at 6/4 with AK Bets, but with a stubborn Spurs record here and both defences fancied, we are going 1-1. Our Brentford vs Tottenham prediction leans towards points shared.
Best Bets
Brentford or Draw in the Double Chance market. Brentford are slight home favourites and the numbers back a draw-no-loss angle here, with a combined 64.47% implied probability attached to Brentford avoiding defeat. The previous six Premier League meetings have yielded just two home wins for the Bees, making this a sensible way to start.
Both Teams To Score - Yes. With an anticipated 2.71 total goals and a 55.1% implied probability of both teams finding the net, there is real value in backing goals at either end. Both sides carry a threat going forward even in a cagey fixture.
Brentford vs Tottenham Bet Builder
Kevin Schade to Score or Assist - Kevin Schade scored twice when Brentford beat Frankfurt 7-0 and he picked up a further two assists. 11 goals and assists last season was a solid return but it feels like this could be the season Schade really turns heads.
Mamadou Sangare 2+ Shots - Sangare shot twice in each of his last six games for Lens including against PSG. He scored in Brentford's friendly against Frankfurt.
Both Teams to Score - No goals in their opener after spending so much in the transfer window would be a disasterous start for De Zerbi. Brentford only failed to score in four home games last season, both sides have question marks over their defence and will likely rely on their attacks for wins.

Brentford vs Tottenham Talking Points
This is a fixture heavy on contrasts. Tottenham have spent big this summer, splashing out more than £237 million as they rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi, yet arrive here light in attack and patched up at the back. Brentford, meanwhile, have gone about their business quietly, breaking their transfer record for Mamadou Sangaré from RC Lens. The Bees remain a hard nut to crack at home, having lost just three times at the Gtech last season, and history says this one is tight, with five of the last six home meetings ending level. Spurs will point to being unbeaten in their last six away trips to Brentford in all competitions, so something has to give on the opening weekend.
