Tottenham - Brentford: match preview
Tottenham have been struggling for form and are winless in their last five matches, recording two draws and three defeats. Moreover, in each of those three losses they conceded at least two goals. Spurs have collected 19 points from 14 rounds and currently sit 11th in the table. Despite their mid-table position, they are only five points off the Champions League spots in a very congested standings.
Brentford are level on points with Tottenham. They occupy 13th place, trailing Spurs on goal difference. The Bees have scored 21 and conceded 22, while Tottenham’s goal tally stands at 23:18. Brentford have lost twice in their last three matches. However, such results are not alarming for them, considering they lost several key players in the summer and changed head coach. This is a transitional period, and they are handling it rather well.
Probable line-ups
- Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Kudus, Bergvall, Johnson; Kolo Muani
- Brentford: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Henderson; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Prediction
This is an important match for Tottenham as they look to end their poor run, and the hosts will be eager to claim a win. Brentford will certainly put up a fight, and it won’t be easy for Spurs. I recommend betting on both teams to score.
