Do Spurs also lose the home match against Brentford?

Tottenham are still in a crisis of form in the final spurt of the season and are now in fear of an international starting place. As seventh in the table, Spurs are still ahead of AVFC with the better goal difference. The upcoming league match against Brentford is therefore all the more important and important in terms of setting the tone for the future.

In the derby against their city rivals, Tottenham have no room to lose points. The best bookmakers currently see Spurs as favourites, offering betting odds of 1.85 on the hosts for a Tottenham vs Brentford bet.

When considering how weak Tottenham have presented themselves in recent weeks, there is little argument to reinforce a prediction on Spurs in Saturday’s game at Tottenham vs Brentford. In any case, the seventh-placed team in the table has only picked up a single win in its last six league games.

Brentford, on the other hand, have shown much better performances in recent weeks. The Bees have won three of their last four league games, including derbies against WHU and Chelsea.

Tottenham – Statistics & current form

Planning for the coming season is in full swing at Spurs. It is still unclear who will take the reins next season. This year, Ryan Mason is still in charge of the team on an interim basis until the end of the season. Under his leadership, the turnaround for the Spurs failed to materialise. Even an international starting right is now in jeopardy.

Nevertheless, it can be ruled out that Tottenham will introduce a new head coach before the end of the season. It is therefore quite possible that the recent form crisis will continue in the second half of the season. Most recently, Tottenham suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, who drew level on points with London’s seventh-placed team.

Saturday’s city derby against Brentford FC threatens another defeat. Spurs have not won either of their last two derbies against their opponents. The league record of 4-4-1 against Brentford nevertheless reaffirms a Tottenham Hotspur points haul, with their only defeat coming in March 1948.

Do Spurs defy recent run of form?

The home record is also encouraging ahead of the league clash with Brentford FC. At home, Spurs have already recorded twelve victories in 18 home games. Statistically, Tottenham are the fifth best home team in the league with a record of 12-1-5. In those 18 matches, the Londoners have scored 36 goals – an average of two goals per game.

Saturday’s game against the Bees will be Tottenham’s last home game of the current season. Spurs have only lost their final game of the season in front of a home crowd twice in the last 14 seasons. Eleven out of 14 encounters, on the other hand, Tottenham won. If Tottenham can win this one too, betting odds of 1.85 on Tip 1 will pay out on Tottenham vs Brentford.

Interim coach Mason will be without Bentancur, Lloris and Sessegnon for the city derby against Brentford due to injury. Dier and Tanganga, on the other hand, are still in doubt.

Brentford – Statistics & current form

Brentford FC go into a do or die game this weekend. The Bees, in ninth place in the table, still have a chance to finish the 2022/23 season in an international starting spot. The city derby against Tottenham, above all, points the way ahead. After all, Spurs are in seventh and thus the last international starting place in the Premier League.

If the Bees fail to win, it will no longer be possible to finish the season in seventh place. It is therefore obvious that Brentford FC will risk a lot on Saturday to win the derby against Tottenham. If the west Londoners’ recent form curve is anything to go by, a surprise from the underdogs cannot be ruled out.

Head coach Thomas Frank’s side have won three of their last four league games. Among other things, the Bees also scored a coup at city rivals Chelsea. Betting fans who do not rule out a derby win for the West Londoners this time can pick up odds of up to 4.10 for a Tottenham vs Brentford tip on the visitors.

Will Brentford improve their record away from home?

In 18 away games in the current league season, Brentford have only managed four wins so far. In return, there have already been seven draws and seven defeats. In the last two seasons, Brentford always won the last away game of a season. In 2020/21, Brentford beat Bristol 3-1 away from home. Last season, on the other hand, there was a 3:2 at Everton FC.

The Bees also have a good record in recent London derbies. Brentford have not lost any of the last eight league derbies. In fact, the West Londoners have recently won three derbies in a row, which means they will be going into the clash against Spurs with a broad chest.

Thomas Frank will be without five players for the league clash against Tottenham due to injury. Therefore, changes in the starting eleven are necessary. Especially because Ivan Toney, the best goal scorer on the side of the Bees, is missing due to a ban for violations of the betting rules.

Tottenham – Brentford Tip

Tottenham are looking for damage limitation in the last two matchdays of the Premier League. Their primary goal is to at least defend their seventh place in the Premier League table, even though the Conference League has no special significance in the upcoming season. Saturday sees the last home game for Spurs against Brentford.

The Bees travel to their city rivals in fine fettle. In their last four league games, Brentford not only picked up three wins, but also beat two city rivals in the process. Only against in-form Liverpool FC did the West Londoners fail to pick up a point.

If Brentford take the momentum from the last few weeks with them, the Bees can be expected to surprise even the stumbling Spurs. We see value in the high odds on a Brentford win and therefore lean towards a prediction on the underdog. For our Tottenham vs Brentford tip on the visitors, betting odds of 4.10 are offered. We are betting four units.
