Tottenham Hotspur welcome Brentford to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Premier League game this Saturday. Tottenham are currently in 11th place in the table, while Brentford are on identical points but are two places below in 13th based on goal difference.
So, with this game having some extra significance thanks to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's lengthy history with Brentford, who will come out on top on Saturday?
Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tottenham's record against Brentford since the Bees were promoted in 2021 is excellent. They've won four of their eight Premier League meetings and have only lost once, in May 2023 under then-interim boss Ryan Mason. Last season, Spurs did the double over their London rivals.
- Tottenham are coming into this game on a winless run of five matches in the Premier League, with their last league win coming over Everton on October 26th. However, they may have gained some momentum following a wild last-gasp draw with Newcastle on Tuesday.
- Brentford were beaten by league leaders Arsenal on Wednesday, continuing a run of alternating wins and losses across six matches that dates back to their win over Liverpool on October 25th.
- Tottenham's attacking form has been extremely concerning as of late. They have failed to have a shot on target in the first half of their last four matches, and scored with their only two shots on target against Newcastle on Tuesday.
- Brentford's home form has been fantastic this season, as they have won five matches at the G-Tech and only suffered one defeat. On the road, however, they have fared a lot worse, losing six of their seven away matches, including their last three.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford Prediction
While Tottenham's form has left a lot to be desired recently, this game does feel like a winnable one for them.
Firstly, boss Thomas Frank spent nearly seven seasons in charge of the Bees and should know their strengths and weaknesses, particularly as his old set-piece coach Keith Andrews is now in charge.
Secondly, Brentford's away record this season is not good at all, with a string of losses on the road.
It is true that Tottenham have been poor at home, not winning since the opening day, and so the pressure will be on them here. However, galvanized by their late draw against Newcastle, they should be hopeful of a result.
