Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 31/01/2024, 05:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Tottenham Hotspur resumes Premier League action, hosting Brentford in a London derby scheduled for Wednesday. Brentford enters this game placed six points above the relegation region while Tottenham are three points off the top four. Hosts Tottenham will be looking to rise from two winless outings, the most recent a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup. The North London side will feel hard done by the result, after holding off City, only to concede in the 88th minute. Before that they had played to a 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Tottenham have already lost to Brentford in the transfer market, with the visitors reportedly securing Antonio Nusa’s signature. Ange Postecoglou’s side will not want to take another loss on the pitch, and playing at home should favor them. Spurs had posted four straight home wins before falling to Manchester City in the last game. In the league alone, they will be on the hunt for a fourth straight home win. However, having failed to beat Brentford in their last four meetings means they’ll need a big push here.

Brentford haven't had it easy in recent times but having had more rest days than Spurs, they’ll be rejuvenated. They played six days before Spurs and here, they’ll want to build on their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. That game marked Ivan Toney’s return from suspension and he made it count with their opening goal. Ben Mee and Neal Maupay scored twice in the second half to complete Brentford’s comeback. Before the win, Brentford had gone on a seven-game run without a win. Here they will still have concerns about their defence, having conceded two or more in six of their last eight matches. seven of their last 10 matches have had over 2.5 goals, with Brentford failing to score in just two of the 10 games. Thomas Frank will have reason to motivate his charges here as they have a very poor away run. In their last five away matches, Brentford have suffered straight defeats. Three times in those five away matches, they conceded three goals.
