The Matchday 24 clash in the Premier League between Brentford and Tottenham will take place on February 2 at the Brentford Community Stadium in London. Brentford vs. Tottenham: prediction, betting odds, statistics.
Brentford
Thomas Frank's side secured a 2-1 away victory against Crystal Palace in the last round. However, prior to that, they faced a tough schedule, managing only one win in their previous seven league matches (2 draws and 4 losses). The club sits in 11th place, nine points adrift of the European competition spots. Notably, Brentford's matches are the third most prolific in the Premier League, with an average of 3.57 goals scored per game.
Injuries have sidelined defenders Ethan Pinnock and Aaron Hickey, midfielder Josh Dasilva, and forward Gustavo Nunes.
- At least three goals have been scored in 13 of Brentford's last 17 Premier League matches.
- Both teams scored in 16 of the club's last 21 league games.
- In their last six league matches, the Londoners conceded only one goal in the first half.
Predicted lineup for Brentford (4-3-1-2)
Mark Flekken – Keane Lewis-Potter, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Mads Roerslev Rasmussen – Kevin Schade, Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janelt – Mikkel Damsgaard – Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side enters the derby on a seven-match winless streak in the league, having picked up just one point during this run. This poor form has seen the club drop to 15th in the standings, just eight points clear of the relegation zone. Interestingly, the last time the Londoners had such poor results was in the 2008/09 season (24 points and the same position after 23 rounds).
Due to injuries, defender Destiny Udogie, forwards Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke, and Wilson Odobert, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and midfielders Pape Sarr and Brennan Johnson are unavailable.
- Both teams scored in Tottenham's last five Premier League matches.
- At least three goals were scored in 8 of the Londoners' last 9 league games.
- Two or more goals were scored in the first half in 7 of the club's last 9 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (3-4-3)
Antonin Kinsky – Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies – Pape Sarr, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur – Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, Richarlison.

Brentford vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
This upcoming derby promises to deliver plenty of goals, as matches between these clubs rank among the top three most prolific in the Premier League. Notably, at least four goals have been scored in 7 of Brentford's last 9 home league matches. Meanwhile, in 7 of Tottenham's last 10 away league games, there have been three or more goals.
I favor the home side in this encounter. Ange Postecoglou's team is in poor form, having lost to Premier League strugglers Everton (2-3) and Leicester (1-2) in their last two matches. On the other hand, Brentford has suffered 4 defeats in their last 13 Premier League games, but all were against teams competing for high positions. Additionally, the last three head-to-head meetings at Brentford Community Stadium ended in draws, with at least four goals scored in five of the last head-to-head Premier League encounters between these London clubs.
My prediction: 1X and Total Over 2.5 goals
