Overview
In contrast to the exciting early stages of the 2023-2024 season, the 2024-2025 campaign has seen Tottenham decline markedly. Coach Ange Postecouglou's fast-paced attacking style is no longer effective as opponents have figured it out. As a result, Spurs have only managed 4 points after 4 rounds, an extremely disappointing result.
The next opponent of the "Rooster" in the Premier League, Brentford, is also not easy to bully. In fact, the "Bees" are ranked 6 points higher than Tottenham. Since being promoted, with a reasonable player transfer strategy, Brentford has always been an annoying obstacle for the "big guys" in the Premier League.
Brentford's two defeats came against Liverpool and Man City. They also won two games against lower-league teams in the Carabao Cup. However, Brentford's away form has been poor, with just two wins in their last 10 Premier League away games.
On the other side of the front line, Spurs are also not in good form at home. In the last 6 matches, they have only enjoyed the joy of victory once. This is the basis for Brentford to be confident in the goal of getting points despite being rated lower than the home team.
Tottenham have met Brentford 7 times in the past with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The last 4 matches between the two teams have all seen 4 goals or more.
Human resource situation
Tottenham will welcome back Yves Bissouma, but Richarlison is still recovering. Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie has a minor injury.
On the other side of the front line, Brentford's main striker Yoane Wissa was injured in the match against Man City and will be absent. In addition, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes, Mathias Jensen, Aaron Hickey, Joshua Da Silva and Rico Henry are also unable to return.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de ven, Udogie, Maddison, Sarr, Johnson, Son Heung-min, Kulusevski, Solanke.
Brentford: Flekken, Janelt, Pinnock, Van den Berg, Collins, Damsgaard, Norgaard, Ajer, Lewis-Potter, Mbeumo, Schade.
The match between Tottenham and Brentford takes place at 9:00 p.m. on September 21 (Vietnam time).
