Brentford at Tottenham 12/2/21 - Premier League Picks & Predictions
Tottenham met a tough loss in the Conference League, while their weekend match at Burnley was postponed. So they have to put all that behind them when they will play host to Brentford on Thursday. Brentford beat Everton over the weekend and they will now look to get something from this trip.
Tottenham (6-5-1) are coming into this match after an unexpected 2-1 loss on the road against Slovenian side Mura in the Conference League. Their qualification to the next round is now in jeopardy, but they will have to shift their focus in the Premier League. Last week they didn’t play their match at Burnley because the match was postponed due to bad weather. Tottenham are sitting at the 9th spot of the Premier League with 19 points, scoring just 11 goals and conceding 17 so far. They have been slightly better at home (4-2-0), scoring 6 and conceding 8 goals. They will be missing Lo Celso and Romero in this match.
Brentford (4-5-4) were not very good in their home match against Everton over the weekend, but they did score an early penalty kick and held on to the lead for the final 1-0 win. It was their first win after a 5-match win-less streak in the Premier League (0-4-1). Brentford are now sitting at the 11th spot of the league table with 16 points, scoring 17 and conceding 17 goals in the process. They have been really hard to beat on the road (2-1-3), scoring 9 and conceding 8 goals. Brentford have only lost to Burnley on the road.
The two teams have only met in the Carabao Cup over the years, five times actually, where Tottenham have 4 wins and 1 draw. They have not been very good offensively this season and Brentford have shown signs of great defensive strategy so far, but that’s not always the case. Taking the Over 2.5 Goals here.
