Brentford take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 24 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 2nd at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
Brentford are an intriguing project that has only recently established itself at a high level. Last season was far from easy, yet 39 points proved enough to secure a safe 16th-place finish. Given that they played much of that campaign without Ivan Toney, who was suspended until January, it was no surprise to see him leave in the summer transfer window. No matter—Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have stepped up, providing a solid goal tally, especially at home. For a while, Thomas Frank’s side was in contention for European spots, but their form plummeted in the winter—they only managed a single league win against Southampton and even suffered a shock FA Cup defeat to Plymouth. However, last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace suggested they may be turning a corner. Brentford’s attacking play remains their biggest strength, and their home performances continue to be their foundation for success.

Tottenham has struggled, but there’s a reason for it. Interestingly, Spurs are quite close to finally ending their trophy drought, having reached the League Cup semifinals after eliminating both Manchester City and Manchester United before edging Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg. Their Europa League campaign has also gone smoothly, and even in January, they won both of their matches. However, the injury crisis within the squad has inevitably taken its toll in the Premier League. Ange Postecoglou’s side, which nearly secured a Champions League spot last season, has collapsed into the lower half of the table, losing far more often than winning. Last weekend’s match against a struggling Leicester side summed up their current woes—they took the lead but ultimately fell apart and suffered a disappointing defeat. With key players still sidelined, Tottenham’s squad depth is being severely tested, leading to inconsistent performances.
During the 2022-23 season, these teams played to three draws, with Brentford winning once. However, in the past calendar year, Tottenham won both meetings—once in January and again in September. Brentford is in better shape than their more high-profile neighbors, and at home, they are capable of handing Postecoglou’s side another defeat.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 scored goals.
