A busy week off the field for Tottenham will be put to one side on Sunday, as they open their Premier League campaign for the 2022-23 season at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford will have home field advantage for the opener, as they look to compound the misery on Spurs fans.
Before Betting On Brentford vs Tottenham
The first game of Premier League action on Sunday will see Brentford host Tottenham. There will be a lot of attention on the off-field situation at Spurs this weekend, as reports have indicated that Harry Kane is closing in on his Tottenham exit as a move to Bayern Munich is edging closer. Therefore, players on the field will need to ensure that they get off to an excellent start on the field.
Brentford have a poor record in this fixture, as they have won just twice in ten previous league matches against Spurs in their history. However, one of their rare wins was picked up in the most recent meeting between the sides in May. This is the first time since 2014 that Tottenham have kicked off the Premier League season with a London derby, but they were 1-0 winners over West Ham on that previous occasion.
The Bees have typically been slow starters in the league, as they have won just two of their last eleven matchday one matches. However, they have been much quicker starters since moving into the Premier League, as they have avoided defeat on the opening day in each of the previous two campaigns, which includes a 2-2 draw against Leicester last term.
Tottenham boast a fine record on the opening day, as they have only suffered defeat on matchday one in one of their previous seven seasons. That defeat was suffered against Everton in 2020, but they have won five matches on matchday one over that period.
