Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips | September 21st 2024

Tottenham Hotspur play host to Brentford in a Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday. Tottenham will be looking for only their second Premier League win of the current season, having lost back-to-back league games to Newcastle and Arsenal.

Brentford, meanwhile, will be hoping to pick up their second victory over Spurs since their promotion to the top flight in 2021, a win that would be their third of the season.

So which of these London sides will come out on top this weekend?

Tottenham vs Brentford Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2021, Brentford have tended to struggle against Tottenham. In their six meetings to date, Spurs have won two games and only lost once, while three of their games have ended in draws.
The last time these sides faced off was in January. The match was a thriller that saw Brentford take a first-half lead before Tottenham scored three goals early in the second half to go ahead. Ivan Toney's late goal made things interesting, but the game ended 3-2 to Ange Postecoglou's side.
Both Tottenham and Brentford won games in the EFL Cup this week. However, their matches were very different. Brentford brushed aside Leyton Orient 3-1 despite going behind early on. Tottenham, meanwhile, needed late, late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson to overcome Coventry.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank might be rueing his bad luck coming into this game, as it has been confirmed that their top scorer Yoane Wissa will miss this fixture with an injury.
Tottenham's record signing Dominic Solanke is still looking for his first goal since his big-money move from Bournemouth this summer after drawing blanks against Arsenal and Coventry since his return from injury last weekend.

Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction

While Tottenham's form has not been that good on paper thus far this season, they could well be on nine or even ten points right now had they been more clinical in front of goal.

Brentford will hope to put them under pressure, just as they did against Manchester City last weekend. However, the Bees will miss Yoane Wissa hugely, and his loss will give Tottenham's backline hope.

Given Tottenham's strong home record against Brentford as well as the feeling that their luck in front of goal could improve at any time, the prediction for Saturday is a strong home win.

Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Brentford
