I think Tottenham did a really nice job this offseason, adding Sandro Tonali and making some needed adjustments to the roster. Roberto De Zerbi should also be an upgrade on the touchline, and there is enough quality here for Tottenham to take a step forward. On the other side, Brentford can score with the best of them, especially at home. I do think Tottenham get something out of this match, but I have a hard time seeing it stay under three goals. Both teams have plenty of attacking talent, and both can be vulnerable defensively. For me, there’s no need to overthink it. I’m backing Over 2.5 goals and expecting an open match with chances on both ends.
Good start to the European season Sunday with a La Liga cash and the Premier League kicks off next weekend -- that was my best league a season ago. Tottenham barely avoided relegation in 2025-26 and has a new manager, while Brentford finished ninth in the table. The sides drew at Brentford last season. Spurs have a few player availability concerns (Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski among them) even in an opener.
