The atmosphere at the Gtech Community Stadium will be electric as Thomas Frank makes a quick return to his former home, but this time he will be occupying the away dugout. It is a strange twist of fate for the Bees fans, seeing the man who built their modern success leading the Lilywhites. Currently, Brentford sits just three points off the top five, and victory here would see them leapfrog their North London rivals. In this article, you’ll discover Explore Our Premier League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Brentford averages an impressive 2.22 goals per home match, showing incredible efficiency in front of goal.
- The Bees have seen over 2.5 goals in 67% of their home fixtures this current season.
- Tottenham’s away matches are chaotic, with the side conceding an average of 1.78 goals per game.
- Spurs have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 78% of their away games exceeding 2.5 goals.
- Thomas Frank returns to his former club while missing seven key players due to injury or AFCON.
- Brentford enters this match following a massive 4-1 victory, highlighted by Kevin Schade’s clinical hat-trick performance.
The Bees are flying high under Keith Andrews, especially after a dismantling of Bournemouth where Kevin Schade looked unplayable. Statistically, Brentford is a juggernaut at home, netting an average of 2.22 goals per game at the Gtech. They have developed a habit of turning their stadium into a fortress, winning four of their last five home matches. Still, there is a lingering worry at the back. They haven’t kept a clean sheet at home in nine attempts, which suggests they prefer to outscore opponents rather than shut them down. It’s hard to say how this will end, but a quiet game seems unlikely given their current 3.33 total goals per match average.
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has confirmed that Igor Thiago is being monitored ahead of Thursday’s clash with Tottenham after picking up a minor knock. Despite the concern, Andrews praised Kevin Schade’s recent "brilliant performance" and emphasized the need for collective improvement following their previous defeat to Spurs. The Bees aim to maintain their momentum at the Gtech Community Stadium to open 2026.

When looking at the goal averages, this match screams entertainment. The overall average goals per match for these two sides sits at a healthy 3.22. Brentford has seen +2.5 goals in 67% of their home outings, and they enter this game after scoring four against Bournemouth. Kevin Schade is in red-hot form, and with Spurs missing defensive shields like Bissouma and Sarr, the German international should find space to exploit. On the flip side, Tottenham’s matches have a 78% rate of going over 2.5 goals when they are the visiting team. Their "attack is the best defense" philosophy often leads to open matches. Even with key attackers out, the presence of players like Archie Gray and a returning Romero ensures they remain dangerous on set pieces and counter-attacks. Everything points toward at least three goals being celebrated on New Year's Day in West London.
