Over 2.5 goals looks like the sharper angle in this London derby. The market is already leaning toward goals, with Over 2.5 trading around 1.63–1.67, while BTTS is also heavily favored. Tottenham enter the new season with a revamped squad under Roberto De Zerbi, but defensive absences—most notably Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro—could leave them vulnerable. Brentford, meanwhile, have plenty of attacking firepower at home. With both sides possessing enough going forward and some question marks at the back, 2.5+ goals looks like the smart play.
