Brentford will welcome Tottenham to Gtech Community Stadium as part of the 19th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, a New Year’s opener full of excitement. The hosts come into this clash buoyed by two consecutive wins over Wolves and Bournemouth, climbing to eighth place with 26 points from 18 matches. Despite some inconsistency in overall form, Brentford is particularly strong at home, having won 4 of their last 5 games at Gtech Community Stadium, proving they know how to use home advantage to apply pressure on opponents.

In terms of style, Brentford keeps an energetic approach, focusing on long balls, direct attacks, and maximizing second-ball and set-piece opportunities. However, the Bees’ usual weakness is their defense, where positioning errors and vulnerability on the wings are common. Still, at home, Brentford tends to increase the tempo, engage physically, and turn the match into a physical battle, which might cause difficulties for Tottenham.

On the other side, Tottenham continue to have an unstable season. Their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last round temporarily relieved pressure, but they remain 11th with 25 points. Under coach Thomas Frank, Tottenham adopt a possession-based game, high pressing, and wing attacks supported actively by fullbacks. However, their major problem is defensive security after losing the ball, especially away from home, where they often leave spaces open for quick counterattacks.

Regarding head-to-head, Tottenham clearly leads with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 Premier League meetings with Brentford, including a 2-0 victory in the first leg this season. Yet the current context is very different, with Brentford in great form and Spurs suffering serious squad injuries. With home advantage, positive morale, and a tough playing style, Brentford is slightly favored. Tottenham will surely fight hard, but the hosts are likely to capitalize on the chance to earn all 3 points on New Year’s Day.
