Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in deep trouble, having dropped to 15th place in the league. Another poor result here could see them fall even lower, depending on Everton’s performance against Leicester City. Brentford, on the other hand, have had a full week to prepare and will look to take advantage of Tottenham Hotspur’s ongoing struggles.
Brentford
Brentford secured a crucial 2:1 victory over Crystal Palace, but it came at a cost, with captain Christian Nørgaard picking up a knee injury. His status remains uncertain, though there is a chance he could return. Despite that concern, Brentford have their key attacking players fit, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa combining for 25 goals this season. With a full week of rest compared to Tottenham’s midweek European match, the team will be in an ideal position to take control of the game.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3:0 win over Elfsborg in the Europa League, ensuring their place in the tournament’s top eight, but injuries remain a massive concern. The squad is stretched thin, with enough absentees to fill an entire starting lineup. With so few options available, Tottenham Hotspur were forced to use key players in their midweek fixture, adding further fatigue ahead of this crucial league match. Their latest Premier League outing resulted in a humiliating 1:2 defeat to Leicester City, extending their domestic struggles and raising serious concerns about their form.
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Brentford have the momentum, the home advantage, and a much healthier squad compared to a depleted and struggling Tottenham side. With Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive issues continuing to cost them results, Brentford’s attacking duo of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa should be able to exploit the gaps. Tottenham might still have enough firepower to grab a result, but Brentford are in a far stronger position going into this match.
