Brentford vs Tottenham: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Marc Mayo13 August 2023

Brentford and Tottenham begin their respective Premier League campaigns with an intriguing London derby this afternoon.

It’s a tale of two (absent) strikers at the Gtech Community Stadium today as the Bees start a season which will be devoid of top marksman Ivan Toney for at least its first half, while Spurs begin life without Harry Kane after his big-money move to Bayern Munich.

It has been a busy summer at Spurs anyway with Ange Postecoglou now in the hotseat after a long-running manager search.

The Australian has already set about stamping his authority on a squad which finished a lowly eighth last time out, while Brentford would love to match their impressive ninth-place finish from last term under Thomas Frank.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Brentford vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 2pm BST kick-off today on Sunday August 13, 2023.

The match will take place at the Gtech Community Stadium in west London.

Brentford vs Tottenham prediction

Spurs’ new project may well turn out to be a prosperous one but Postecoglou could hardly ask for a more difficult welcome to the Premier League.

Brentford lack their main goalscorer but have the potential to be every bit as wily and technical as they’ve ever been.

Brentford to win, 2-1.
