Brentford v Tottenham

Brentford vs Tottenham Preview

Brentford grabbed all three points in last Sunday's all-London encounter with a 2-1 win away from home at Crystal Palace with perhaps a slice of luck as Brian Mbeumo's initial saved penalty was ordered to be re-taken and the Cameroonian made no mistake with the second effort from the penalty spot.

Tottenham's woes in the Premier League continued last weekend when Spurs suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to relegation threatened Leicester City to make it a miserable six losses in their last seven games overall, with manager Ange Postecoglou seemingly at a loss as to how to halt his side's losing streak.

Brentford's win away from home against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend became only a second win in eight games overall for The Bees in the Premier League, the other being a comprehensive 5-0 battering of Southampton down on the south coast.

Despite also being dealt four defeats within this recent eight-match period which have seen Thomas Franks' side suffer losses at the hands of Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Liverpool, all of whom currently occupy places in the top six of the table, The Bees may well fancy their chances of grabbing another three points at home on Sunday.

Indeed, Brentford have slipped to just three defeats at home so far this season and having collected seven wins within their 12 games at the Gtech Community Stadium, The Bees look in good shape to add to their points tally.

Tottenham seemingly cannot buy a win right now in the English top flight as the north London club continue to lurch from one disaster to the next with no apparent plan in place to stem the flow of recent defeats, leaving Spurs in a disappointing 15th place in the table and eight points above the relegation zone.

Three of Tottenham's recent six defeats within their last seven games overall in the English top flight have been inflicted upon Ange Postecoglou's side on their travels having been handed defeats on the road at Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and most damaging of all, a 3-2 loss away at strugglers Everton.

The wider picture shows Tottenham have managed to muster just the single win from their previous 11 matches overall in the domestic top tier whilst also slipping to eight defeats as well, which does not bode well for this relatively short trip across London to take on Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

The signs have been particularly poor for some time away from home as well, as Tottenham have managed to capture just four wins from their last 17 outings on their travels, whilst losing 11 of these.
