Tottenham take on the visitors Brentford in the round 37 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, May 20th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham are strugglinging the final stretch of the championship. It seemed like just recently the team was seriously fighting for a spot in the Champions League, and now they risk not even qualifying for the Europa League in the next season. Due to the fact that Spurs at least occasionally secure victories at home, they are considered favorites by bookmakers in this match. However, I would dare to disagree; the visitors could very well take points from the Londoners. Of course, Spurs must score their own goal as well. They have been disappointing opponents of various levels on their home turf in the Premier League for eight consecutive matches. However, during this run, they have also conceded goals themselves: a 2-2 draw with Man United, a 2-3 loss to Bournemouth, a 2-1 win against Brighton, and a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Brentford have left a positive impression in the current season. Currently, Thomas Frank's team is seriously vying for a spot in the European competitions and is only four points behind Tottenham. True, Brentford hasn't been as strong in away matches lately as they are at home. However, they are capable of scoring at least one goal on the road, as seen in matches against Chelsea (2-0), Brighton (3-3), or Southampton (0-2). Considering how consistently and frequently Spurs have conceded goals this season, it's unlikely they will keep a clean sheet against Brentford's bold attack.
Tottenham are the favorite, but I must reiterate that I wouldn't be surprised by a draw or even a victory for the visitors. Spurs' performance doesn't inspire confidence. In this situation, the safest bet, in my opinion, is "both teams to score." Both teams are capable of scoring goals: Spurs have netted 65 goals in 36 matches, while Brentford has scored 54. At the same time, both teams have conceded a lot: Brentford has conceded 45 goals in 36 Premier League matches, while Tottenham has let in a total of 59. In their last 11 matches, Thomas Frank's team has only failed to score in three of them, while Spurs have exchanged goals with their opponents in nine out of their last ten league matches. The "both teams to score" bet worked in the first-round match between Tottenham and Brentford this season, which ended in a 2-2 draw. I expect goals to be scored in this encounter as well.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
