Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction 21 Sep 2024

⚽ Premier League - Round 5 Preview

📅 21 Sep 2024

⏰ 15:00 GMT +1

🏟 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London)

Tottenham and Brentford will need to bounce back quickly after their midweek EFL Cup matches, with Spurs especially feeling the pressure during a stretch of seven games in 22 days. Tottenham’s struggles against top-six rivals continued with a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, marking their sixth consecutive Premier League defeat as underdogs. Ange Postecoglou’s men have had their worst start since 2015/16, but Postecoglou remains confident, pointing to his second-year successes in the past. With tough trips to Manchester United and Brighton on the horizon, this home clash against Brentford is pivotal, though Spurs have managed just two wins from six previous encounters with the Bees across the last three seasons.

Brentford have secured all six of their points at home so far this season but have held their own in tough away fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City. After the City defeat, Thomas Frank’s squad earned praise for their "world-class" performance, even from Pep Guardiola. The Bees will look to replicate last season’s impressive 3-1 win at Tottenham, but they'll have to do so without Yoane Wissa, sidelined with an ankle injury, which Frank admitted is a significant loss. Brentford will need to adapt, but their fighting spirit could see them push Tottenham all the way.
