Overview
There was slight optimism for Tottenham fans under nee management that they could get themselves back amongst the top teams in the league. This of course, was before captain and club legend Harry Kane departed for Bayern Munich!
The England man scoring 30 goals for Tottenham last season and was instrumental for years! Losing someone so irreplaceable so close to the start of the season is Tottenham fans worst nightmare.
It’s a similar story for Brentford who are still adjusting to life without star striker Ivan Toney who is serving is 8 month ban. The England striker contributed to 24 goals for Brentford before his ban and was a huge reason for their 9th place finish last season.
What Do The Stats Say?
Only a point separated the two sides in the table last season, defensively Brentford were much better, conceding just 46 compared to Tottenham’s 63! But it was Spurs who were superior in the final third, scoring 70 compared to Brentford’s 58.
In the reverse fixture last season Brentford won 3-1 with Mbuemo helping himself to 2 goals and an assist. On the road Tottenham conceded 38 goals, averaging 2.0 per game!
Head to Head
Tottenham have failed to beat Brentford in the last 3 attempts – 2D, 1L. The last 2 meetings has seen both sides score and a total of 4 goals per game!
Player to Watch
New signing James Maddison will be keen to take his Leicester City form with him to Tottenham. The England international scored 10 goals and 9 assists in a very poor (now relegated) Leicester City side. A positive for Spurs is Maddison’s love for playing Brentford, contributing to 7 (4G, 3A) goals in his last 8 meetings.
