Brentford's odds to record a top four finish have drastically shortened after an unbeaten start to the 2026/27 Premier League season.
Tipped by many as strong candidates for relegation in the 2025/26 term following Thomas Frank's exit, Brentford massively overachieved and were denied qualification for the UEFA Conference League merely on goal difference.
Igor Thiago was the star of last campaign -- scoring 22 times in 38 league matches -- and while he's made a slower start to the 2026/27 season, Kevin Schade has so far stepped up to the plate with five goal contributions in as many games.
The Bees are growing stronger under the stewardship of Keith Andrews and sit fourth in the Premier League standings heading into the three-week international break.
Brentford have shortened from 28/1 into 10/3 to secure a top four finish in the 2026/27 Premier League season.
bet365’s football trading expert Steve Freeth said: "Keith Andrews has enjoyed a remarkable 15 months since succeeding Thomas Frank in the Brentford dugout.
"Just over a year ago he was appointed to a chorus of people tipping Brentford for relegation. However, the Bees' continued success in this period sees them already in the conversation for this year’s Top Four race, with both the club and the manager deserving the utmost credit for that."
While pre-season friendlies are to be taken with a pinch of salt, it was hard to look past Brentford's 7-0 victory over Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, and they took their goalscoring form into their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur.
Keane Lewis-Potter, Vitaly Janelt and Michael Kayode were on the scoresheet as the hosts breezed past Roberto De Zerbi's side in emphatic 3-0 fashion.
Three successive draws against Leeds United, Sunderland and Bournemouth followed, and Andrews' side returned to winning ways when defeating Chelsea 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium in gameweek 5.
It was a performance that resembled their opening day victory against Spurs, bullying Xabi Alonso's side for large stages of the game.
The Bees look like a force to be reckoned with when playing in front of their home fans, and without the distraction of European football this campaign, they'll be seeking their best ever top-flight finish.
