Brentford vs Tottenham Prediction
Thomas Frank’s Brentford side have been very entertaining to watch throughout the campaign with the Bees’ 23 matches in the Premier League consisting of 82 goals. They have had an inconsistent recent run of form over the last couple of months but come into this one on the back of a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace in another London derby last weekend. Tottenham Hotspur, the entertainers of the Premier League, have seen 83 goals scored in their 23 matches. Ange Postecoglou’s side defeated Elfsborg by three goals to nil in the UEFA Europa League in midweek but their 2-1 defeat at home to relegation battling rivals Leicester City means that they have managed just one victory, against rock-bottom Southampton, in their last 11 matches in the league. Regardless of the end match result of this one, it appears almost inevitable that it will be a high-scoring and entertaining encounter.
Brentford vs Tottenham Tip: Over 2.5 goals
