Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to make a serious bid for the top 4 this season but what do the trends suggest as they come into this match?
The game between Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford will be played on the 31st of January at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts begin this round of fixtures in 5th place on 40 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 22 points.
Spurs come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss at home against Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round.
Spurs competed well against the defending champions and looked set for at least a replay until Manchester City made the breakthrough in the 88th minute. There was little time left for Spurs to score the equaliser.
The loss to Manchester City was the first defeat in 4 matches for Spurs in all competitions. There have been wins over Bournemouth at home in the Premier League and Burnley at home in the FA Cup plus a 2-2 draw at Manchester United in the Premier League.
Statistics show Spurs have won each of their 3 most recent home Premier League fixtures. Both teams have scored in each of their last 6 Premier League matches on home soil and there have been over 2.5 goals in those 6 games. Spurs haven't been beaten in 5 of their 6 most recent clashes with Brentford in all competitions.
Brentford make the short journey to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having last played on the 20th of January at home against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest opened the scoring in the 3rd minute but Brentford equalised 16 minutes later.
The Bees took the lead in the 58th minute but it did not take long for Nottingham Forest to score their second goal. Just 3 minutes later and Brentford scored their third goal and that was enough to take maximum points.
The win over Nottingham Forest was the first victory in 8 fixtures in all competitions for Brentford.
There were 6 defeats in their previous 7 games, including losses against Brighton, Sheffield United, and Crystal Palace away plus Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in the Premier League.
Trends show both teams scored in all of Brentford's last 6 games in all competitions. Brentford's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 10 most recent away clashes in all competitions.
Team news and Spurs are still without Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Son Heung-Min who are on international duty. Giovani Lo Celso, Manor Solomon, and Alejo Veliz are injured but James Maddison is fit.
Brentford have Ivan Toney back in attack but Yoane Wissa, Saman Ghoddos and Frank Onyeka are with their national teams. Rico Henry, Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, and Kevin Schade are all injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Christian Norgaard.
One thing we can predict from these two teams is goals and we should see both teams finding the back of the net.
Spurs are back in form at home in the Premier League and it could be the hosts who come out on top, with over 2.5 goals in total.
