Tottenham vs Brentford prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-01-30 19:30.
[p]Itâs been a fortnight of missed opportunities at Tottenham, who after failing to beat Manchester United in the Premier League despite dominating for large spells, were dumped out of the FA Cup fourth round by Manchester City. While disappointed to see chances of a first piece of silverware in over a decade go up in smoke, Spurs are very much in the race for the top-four, while they may still have their sights set on the summit.[/p]
[p]Ange Postecoglouâs men have been driven forward by their attack, as they come into this clash having scored in 33 successive league matches – their longest such streak in league history. The visit of Brentford could prove tricky however, as Tottenham have won just one of the five H2Hs contested since the Bees were promoted to the top-flight (D3, L1).[/p]
[p]Brentford travel across the capital loitering at the opposite end of the table and looking over their shoulders. Thankfully for them, the returning Ivan Toney helped inspire a first win in eight matches (D1, L6) last time out against Nottingham Forest (3-2), opening up a six point gap to the Premier Leagueâs relegation zone. Manager Thomas Frank will be hoping Toney can lead the charge again here as the Bees aim for a first win on the road since October (L5). [/p]
[p]The away side should still travel with good memories having won on this ground last season (3-1) – their only H2H victory of any description since March 1948 (D6, L9). Brentford will also be keen to get over their âhump dayâ blues having lost their last two Premier League games played on a Wednesday![/p]
[p]Players to watch: In red-hot form, eight of Richarlisonâs ten goal involvements this season have come in his last seven appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (G5, A3). While Toney was Brentfordâs main man last time out, it is worth noting heâs alternated between not scoring (eight) and scoring (eight) in his last 16 Premier League appearances[/p]
[p]Hot stat: After losses to Chelsea and West Ham, Tottenham are hoping to avoid three successive Premier League London derby defeats for the first time since 2004. [/p]
