Days earlier Spurs had the lions’ share of possession against Arsenal but showed little attacking prowess in defeat to their fierce rivals, and will know a similar display against the Bees will be punished.

Tottenham vs Brentford prediction
Spurs are not struggling to assert themselves on their opponents, either home or away, but are failing to muster much in the way of attacking threat despite their dominance on the ball. Time and again Spurs are getting to the edge of penalty areas and then seemingly making the wrong decision, and Brentford are a team more than capable of punishing that indecision.
The Bees have started the season well, beating Crystal Palace and Southampton and causing both Liverpool and Man City real problems, and will be relishing another big performance at Spurs after winning there in 2022-23 and pushing them all the way last season in what was their only defeat in five meetings.
This will be a real test for Spurs and you feel one they will not escape with all three points this time.
