Brentford head into this clash with a run of four consecutive away losses in the Premier League, while Tottenham Hotspur have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine home league matches. Furthermore, Brentford’s recent fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with at least three goals in eight of their last ten matches.
Tottenham’s Resilience and Strength Despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup, Tottenham showed promising signs that could fuel their pursuit of a top-four finish. Ange Postecoglou’s side didn’t manage to overcome the reigning treble winners, but the return of key players from injury is a positive sign. With central defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven back in action, and the recent substitution appearance of midfielder James Maddison, Spurs seem rejuvenated.
Their defensive record at home has room for improvement, with only two clean sheets in ten games. However, Tottenham have managed to win their last three home games with both teams scoring, suggesting a pattern that could continue against Brentford.
Brentford’s Potential to Make an Impact Brentford will draw confidence from their 3-1 victory at Tottenham last May. With star striker Ivan Toney back from suspension, as evidenced by his goal-scoring return against Nottingham Forest, the Bees have the firepower to challenge Tottenham’s defence. Despite their recent away struggles, Brentford’s attacking prowess could see them find the net at Tottenham.
Spurs, on the other hand, demonstrated quality approach play against Manchester City, despite lacking the finishing touch. This fixture could provide them with an opportunity to refine their attack, and a 3-1 victory for the home side could be a solid bet.
Richarlison’s Growing Influence Richarlison’s form has been on an upward trajectory for Tottenham, with six goals in his last six Premier League games. Stepping up in the absence of Heung-Min Son, who is at the Asian Cup, Richarlison has shown increased confidence and strength in leading the Spurs’ attack. His ongoing improvement suggests he could play a significant role in this encounter, potentially adding to his recent goal tally.
