Tottenham
Brentford
One of the matches in the fifth round of the Premier League will take place in London, where Tottenham Hotspur will host Brentford at their home ground. Here’s the prediction from the expert team at Dailysports.
Tottenham
The "Lilywhites" are perpetually determined to compete for the highest honors, yet they often struggle to turn this ambition into reality. This season has proven no exception, as they already dropped points in their opening match against Leicester, newly promoted to the Premier League.
Subsequently, they secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Everton, although the "Toffees" currently appear so out of form that this win hardly qualifies as a significant achievement. More crucially, in the following matches, Tottenham suffered defeats to Newcastle (1-2) and Arsenal (0-1), both of whom are direct rivals in the quest for European qualification.
Brentford
The "Bees" have had a stronger start to the season compared to their upcoming opponents. Currently, Brentford occupies ninth place in the league table, having accrued six points from four matches. They have suffered defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City away, which are formidable opponents even at home.
In their most recent outing, Brentford took the lead against the reigning champions within the first minute; however, by halftime, the "Citizens" not only equalized but also netted the winning goal. It is noteworthy that Brentford successfully advanced in the EFL Cup, defeating Colchester (1-0) and Leyton Orient (3-1).
Match Facts
- The "Both Teams to Score" bet has hit in the last four matches between these teams.
- The "Total Over 2.5" bet has also hit in the last four encounters.
- In the last three matches involving Brentford, both "Both Teams to Score" and "Total Over 2.5" bets have been successful.
H2H
Last season, Tottenham triumphed over Brentford at home with a score of 3-2. This victory marked the fourth win in their last five meetings at Tottenham's ground.

- Brentford: Flecken, Ayer, van den Berg, Pinnock, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard, Nørgaard, Jensen, Wissa, Mbeumo
