Brentford FC has slowly and exponentially climbed their way up to the first league after playing in the second league throughout the mid-2000s. The Bees, as the team is popularly known, gained a larger following throughout this process. Later, it reached new heights like the Championship and then finally the English Premier League in 2021.
This is the Bees’ first entry into the Premier League in 74 years, and their biggest achievement in the last 10 years.
Undoubtedly, with the arrival of manager Thomas Frank in 2018, Brentford’s betting odds have significantly improved. Under Frank, the Bees have made several changes to their gameplay, and are enjoying a good season this year.
Below, we give you Brentford’s odds for the Premier League and FA Cup, and their squad lineup for this season.
Overview of Brentford Betting Odds
Thomas Frank has been Brentford’s longest-serving coach (2018–till date) – and by far the most successful. He took the Bees up and up through the Championship and into the Premier League for the first time in their recent history.
Frank is a tactical coach and believes in getting the ball in the opposition box as early as possible. He often sets his team in a 1-3-2-5 formation in the build-up – three in the back, two midfielders, and five leading the charge. They frequently change positions to 1-4-3-3 as the game progresses to confuse the opposition.
Here’s what bettors can expect from the Bees this season:
Brentford Premier League Odds for 2024-25
Their highest Premier League achievement in the last three years was a ninth-place finish in the 2022-23 season.
The Bees have managed to finish mid-table every season since their entry in 2021 – a fantastic feat for a new Premier League team.
Season | League Standing |
2023-24 | 16th |
2022-23 | 9th |
2021-22 | 13th |
This season again, the Bees’ performance is promising.
Despite releasing their iconic striker Ivan Toney (who transferred to Saudi Pro League team Al Ahli), the Bees still have a good attacking depth with Igor Thiago, Bryan Mbeumo, and Yoane Wissa. Brentford has already scored 31 goals this season, second only to Chelsea (35 goals). They’ve also won all but one of their home games.
Their recent victories are a testament to how the Bees play as a unit, improving the Brentford betting odds for punters. With their current form, it seems that they are quite likely to finish in the top 10.

Brentford Manager Odds for 2024-25
Frank has been with Brentford for over six years, a rare feat in modern football. He is second only to Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, who has been with the club since 2016.
There were rumours that Frank would potentially move to Manchester United or even become the coach of the English national team. He also caught the attention of Aston Villa after they sacked coach Steven Gerrard in October 2022.
However, Thomas Frank says that he is “very happy” at Brentford. “I am probably at one of the best clubs in the world. End of discussion. In terms of alignment, leadership, culture, everything. Why should I ever leave this place?” he said in an interview.
Currently, there are no indications that Frank would be removed.
Brentford Squad
Frank has not shuffled the squad much this season. Six new players have been added to the team, and nine have been transferred or loaned out.
