Brentford host Tottenham in Premier League season opener
Brentford begin their new Premier League season at home to Tottenham, with the match at the Brentford Community Stadium in London on 22 August marking matchday one for both clubs.
Recent meetings between the two sides have tilted firmly towards Tottenham. Of the last five encounters, Tottenham have won four, drawing the other, and have not lost to Brentford in that run.
Recent form
Tottenham arrive having won three and drawn two of their last five matches, going unbeaten across that span. Brentford's form has been more mixed, with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five outings.
The head-to-head advantage sits with Tottenham, who claimed wins in December, February 2025 and both meetings in the 2023-24 season, while the sides shared a goalless draw as recently as January this year.
What to expect
With both clubs opening their campaigns against each other, the fixture offers an early marker of intent for the season ahead. Tottenham's recent dominance in this fixture and their slightly stronger run of results head into the weekend as the more eye-catching context, though Brentford will hope home advantage can help disrupt that pattern.
