Tottenham Hotspur vs. Brentford – Premier League Preview, Predictions, Team News

Tottenham Looking to Continue Winning Ways Against Brentford

After a convincing 2-0 victory over Marseille in the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to continue their winning ways when they host Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. Brentford, meanwhile, will be hoping to cause an upset and secure their first win of the season.

Team News and Injury Updates

Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns, with only Lucas Moura and Oliver Skipp still sidelined. Brentford, meanwhile, will be without the suspended Kristoffer Ajer while Aaron Hickey and Shandon Baptiste are both doubts.

Predicted Lineups

Tottenham: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son

Brentford: Raya; Roerslev, Jansson, Mee; Canos, Janelt, Norgaard, Jensen; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa

Key Matchups

One of the key matchups in this game will be between Tottenham's Harry Kane and Brentford's Ben Mee. Kane is one of the most dangerous strikers in the Premier League, while Mee is a solid and experienced defender. Another key matchup will be between Tottenham's Son Heung-min and Brentford's Rico Henry. Son is a quick and skilful winger, while Henry is a pacy and physical full-back.

Prediction

Tottenham will be confident of victory in this game, but Brentford have shown that they can be a dangerous team on their day. However, Tottenham's quality should shine through in the end, and I predict a 2-1 victory for the home side.

Additional Information

The match will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, August 27th, 2022. Kick-off is at 3pm BST.
