There will be a midweek London derby in the Premier League this week, as Tottenham look to win a second match in three when they host Brentford. However, the Bees could be a dangerous opponent after getting back on track in their latest league match against Crystal Palace.
Before Betting On Tottenham vs Brentford
Tottenham remain among the leading contenders for a European place this term, as they come into this midweek match sitting fifth in the standings and just three points behind Aston Villa. Spurs have picked up three wins from their last five, and they have suffered just a single loss over that period. However, a response will be expected after being dumped out of the FA Cup by Man City last Friday.
Brentford should come into this derby well-rested after not participating in the FA Cup fourth round over the weekend. The Bees ended a long winless streak in their latest league fixture, as Ivan Toney was among the scorers on his return to action in a 3-2 win against Crystal Palace. A second straight win could lift them up to 12th.
Tottenham’s record in this fixture is very strong. They have suffered just one defeat in their last nine league matches against the Bees. However, five matches over that period have ended in draws. Interestingly, Tottenham’s only league defeat in nine against the Bees was suffered in this exact fixture last term.
Brentford are actually unbeaten in their last four league matches against Tottenham, with three fixtures over that period ending in draws. Spurs also come into this match after suffering London derby defeats in their last two, but they haven’t lost three on the bounce since April 2004.
Tottenham vs Brentford Offshore Odds & Pick
This should be an entertaining match in North London, as Spurs have scored in their last 33 matches in the league. Both teams to score looks a solid selection, and we make Tottenham a good bet to claim maximum points against Brentford.
