Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match Prediction
In this London derby we give a slight preference to the hosts. We will not risk a straight win, after all Tottenham Hotspur, despite sitting a little lower in the table, are very dangerous away and have suffered only two defeats on the road in the current campaign. Tottenham Hotspur have dipped slightly in recent away matches and before the win over Crystal Palace could not win in three consecutive Premier League matches. In those four away games the club only once scored more than one goal.
Brentford are close to the European places thanks to excellent home form. The team have played nine home league matches this season and lost only once, to Manchester City (6 wins and 2 draws). The home side have also managed to score at least two goals in 6 of their last 8 home Premier League games.
