TEAMS PREVIEW

Brentford FC Preview

Brentford could not have asked for a better year-end finish, sweeping aside Bournemouth 4–1 in a clinical display. Three goals inside 51 minutes effectively killed the contest, even though the Cherries tried to respond with 18 second-half shots, half of them on target. In the meantime, Kevin Schade emerged as the standout performer, firing a hat-trick to cap a dominant Bees performance.

That victory sends the Bees into 2026 in fine form, unbeaten in their last five league games with four wins and a draw. The late push has also lifted Brentford into the top half, leaving them just four points shy of the top five.

Stats that matter 

1. Kevin Schade's hat-trick was the fifth time a Brentford player has scored two or more goals in a Premier League match this season.
2. The game with Bournemouth was the first time in six matches that Bees had managed to find the back of the net in the first-half of a league match.
3. Brentford have won four of their last five home matches in the Premier League. 

Team News 

Aside from players away on AFCON duty and long-term absentees, Brentford’s only fresh concern is Sepp van den Berg, who missed the Bournemouth game and remains a doubt for the Spurs clash.

Brentford Probable XI - Kelleher (GK); Kayode, Ajer, Collins, Hickey (Defenders); Yarmoliuk, Janelt, Damsgaard (Midfielders); Lewis-Potter, Schade, Thiago (Forwards). 

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

The year-end fixture brought welcome relief for Tottenham and Thomas Frank, ending a two-match losing streak with a 1–0 win over Crystal Palace courtesy of Archie Gray’s strike. In doing so, Gray became the youngest Englishman to score a top-flight goal for Spurs since Dele Alli nearly a decade ago. Still, it was far from convincing, with Tottenham managing just four shots on target and an xG of only 0.88. 

Looking ahead to the New Year clash, Thomas Frank and his side can at least draw confidence from their impressive away form. Tottenham are joint-best in the league for points collected on the road this season, level with Arsenal and Aston Villa on 17, a stat that could fuel hopes of back-to-back wins for the first time since August 2025.

Stats that matter 

1. The win against Palace was Spurs’ 2nd London derby away win in 20 matches.
2. Tottenham have lost just one in the eight London derbies played on a New Year’s day.
3. The Spurs lost all four of their Premier matches in January last season. 

Team News 

Lucas Bergvall is a major doubt after picking up a groin injury against Crystal Palace, adding to Thomas Frank’s selection worries. Spurs are already missing several players through injury and AFCON duty, with Xavi Simons suspended for the New Year clash.

Tottenham Probable XI - Vicario (GK); Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence (Defenders); Gray, Bentancur, Palhinha; (Midfielders);  Kudus, Kolo Muani, Richarlison (Forwards). 

BRENTFORD FC vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Despite recent struggles, Tottenham will  fancy their chances, having beaten Brentford 2–0 earlier this season and boasting a strong away record. The Bees have also failed to beat Spurs in their last four league home meetings. Still, Brentford’s red-hot form is hard to overlook, nudging this toward a draw. Bookmakers, however, side with the visitors, backing a Spurs’ win at 1.70, while Brentford's at 4.75 and the draw at 3.80. 

We predict a draw (2-2)
