Tottenham v Brentford

Tottenham vs Brentford Preview

Tottenham had to make do with a point last time out in the Premier League by way of a 2-2 draw away from home at Manchester United which maintained Spurs' fifth place position in the English top flight table, while Brentford moved up into 14th place in the Premier League standings after recording a 3-2 home win against Nottingham Forest which ended a previously concerning five-match losing streak.

Tottenham find themselves just three points behind fourth placed Aston Villa ahead of this weekend's action in the top flight and having lost just once in their last six matches overall in recent times, the north London club look set to gain further success against their upcoming London rivals here on Wednesday night.

Ange Postecoglou's side suffered a 4-2 defeat down on the south coast away from home at Brighton but nevertheless, Tottenham have collected four wins in these previous six games overall which came in the form of victories against Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Everton and Bournemouth respectively.

Earlier in the season, Tottenham had started the campaign with a 10-game unbeaten sequence but although the hosts then endured a tough five-match winless stretch, Wednesday night's hosts have since returned to promising form.

Brentford put an end to a worrying five-match losing streak last time out when they registered a 3-2 home win against Nottingham Forest which not only handed The Bees an important three points but also helped lift Thomas Frank's side up into 14th place and six points clear of the relegation zone.

Previous defeats at the hands of Brighton, Sheffield United, Aston Villa, Wolves and Crystal Palace had plunged the visitors into potential danger of being sucked down into the relegation mire below them but the win over Nottingham Forest will serve as a welcome boost ahead of this relatively short trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday night.

However, Brentford's improved morale may not last very long especially away from home as The Bees have managed to capture just two wins out of their total of nine outings on the road which were achieved at Fulham and Chelsea, but the visitors have also slipped to six defeats within these nine away games as well.

Brentford's recent poor results away from home include losing their last four games on the road on the trot with losses incurred at Liverpool, Brighton, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace respectively.

Tottenham v Brentford Verdict

Current form at home suggests Tottenham are likely to be too strong for visitors Brentford as Spurs have won their last three home games on the trot while Brentford have lost their last four away games on the bounce.

A solid 2-0 home win for the hosts therefore seems to beckon here on Wednesday night.

Therefore, our main bet will be Tottenham win @ 1.61
