Two wins. Two very different routes to get there.
Leeds United had to dig deep in their opening fixture, needing a late Anton Stach free-kick to see off Nottingham Forest. Brentford didn't need much digging at all, brushing aside a big-spending Tottenham 3-0 at the Gtech to get off the mark.
Now the two sides get ready to do battle at Elland Road, both on three points, and both looking to make it two wins from two.

Head-to-Head
Leeds United vs Brentford Head-to-Head
Leeds United hold a narrow edge in this fixture's long history, winning 15 of the 46 meetings between the sides to Brentford’s 13, with 18 draws in between.
Recent meetings have been far tighter, though – the last two Premier League clashes have both been low-scoring, finishing 0-0 at Elland Road in March and 1-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium last December.
Leeds United have actually shaded the underlying numbers across that pair of stalemates, averaging 1.13xG per game to Brentford's 0.65xG per game, without much luck in front of goal.
Goals haven't always been in short supply, though. The sides shared seven in Brentford's 5-2 win in September 2022, before Leeds United won the return fixture 2-1 the following season.
It's a fixture that has swung between stalemates and shootouts in recent years, with little in between.
Form Guides
Leeds United Form Guide
Leeds United Form Guide
Daniel Farke’s side got their season up and running in style thanks to a moment of individual quality from Anton Stach in the 88th minute to see off Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground.
New signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line throughout and, while he didn't get on the scoresheet, he wasn't far away – the striker fired three of those ten shots, the most of any Leeds United player.
He looks set to keep his place up top, with Wilfried Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson both back among the substitutes after returning to full training.
Ilia Gruev remains the one confirmed absentee, still working his way back from a knee issue.
Brentford Form Guide
Brentford Form Guide
Brentford were by far the more eye-catching of the two sides on opening day, brushing aside a big-spending Tottenham 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The underlying numbers back up the scoreline – 23 shots, 8 on target and 3.70 xG, comfortably the biggest attacking output of any team on the opening weekend.
Keane Lewis-Potter , Vitaly Janelt and Michael Kayode were all on the scoresheet as Keith Andrews ' side made an emphatic start to their campaign.
Antoni Milambo remains a long-term absentee as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.
There has been better news elsewhere, though – Sepp van den Berg is back among the substitutes after his own spell out with a groin issue.
Betting Tips
Leeds United vs Brentford Betting Tips
Dominic Calvert-Lewin Anytime Goalscorer @ 13/8
Calvert-Lewin was Leeds United’s spearhead at Forest and, despite going without a goal, fired three of his side's ten shots – the most of any Leeds United player.
With another start up top expected, backing him to open his account here at a price of 13/8 looks a solid bet.
Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/5
Both sides showed plenty of attacking threat on the opening weekend.
Brentford’s 23 shots and 3.70 xG at home to Tottenham were among the biggest outputs anywhere in the division.
With Calvert-Lewin, Largie Ramazani and Lukas Nmecha offering fresh attacking threat for Leeds United too, this looks a game capable of producing goals at both ends.
Leeds United Win & Both Teams To Score @ 4/1
The Whites showed the resolve to get a result at Forest, and with a BOYLE Sports Price Boost on offer here, backing them to win at home while both teams find the net looks an appealing option.
Igor Thiago is the shortest-priced goalscorer in the match at 11/8 , leading a Brentford attack that racked up 23 shots and 3.70 xG last time out, while Leeds United have goal threats of their own as mentioned above.
