Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, February 2
• Time: 02:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur will take place at Gtech Community Stadium in the Premier League on February 2. On Sunday the 11th-placed team will host the 15th-placed team.

The hosts Brentford have dreamt of continental football since their promotion to the Premier League, but Thomas Frank’s men must first crack the top half again before the European aspirations can come to the forefront of their minds. The Bees do have quality players who can help them to get results but they have been inconsistent this season from the start. Despite playing some good football they haven’t got results in many fixtures and they will have to be at their best to move high up in the table.

In the last five games, they have won twice, drawn once and lost twice. In 23 league games, they have won nine fixtures, drawn four and lost 10 games. Currently, the Bees are placed in the 11th spot with 31 points on the board and will look to add more to their tally. In those 23 games, they have scored 28 goals and conceded 32 goals which is surely a concern for Thomas Frank.

Spurs are at the risk of suffering five consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time in 20 years. Injuries have created a lot of problems for Ange Postegoclu as he is missing several key players who are out due to injuries. Fans are not happy with how their team are performing and are demanding the sacking of the Australian head coach. In their last Premier League game, they suffered a shocking defeat against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City as Spurs lost by 2-1 scoreline.

They did win the game in the UEFA Europa League against Elfsborg by 3-0 but they have to perform like that in the league games as well. In their last five games, they have won twice and lost thrice. They are currently placed at the 15th spot with 24 points on the board. Out of 23 games, they have won seven, drawn three, and lost 13 games. If this form keeps on going then surely Daniel Levy will take a harsh decision. Playing away from home against the Bees will not be an easy task for sure but surely this will be a mouthwatering clash.

On that note, let’s take a look at Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur team news:

Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Despite Spurs suffering a lot this season they will be a difficult team to beat for sure. The Bees do have players who are capable of getting them the result at home but Postecoglu’s men will be determined to bounce back in the upcoming fixture. Most probably this fixture will end in a stalemate.
