Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur 12/26/22 EPL Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Monday in an English Premier League showdown at the GTech Community Stadium. When these two teams faced off on April 23rd, the two teams played in a 0-0 draw. 

Tottenham Hotspur sits in 4th place in the standings having picked up 29 points. Tottenham played a friendly on Wednesday against Nice, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. They had 55 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Matt Doherty was the goalscorer in the 21st minute. The defense gave up a goal in the 47th minute. Fraser Forster is going to get the start at goaltender here, while usual starter Hugo Lloris is going to start on the bench. Cristian Romero also won’t be getting the start here after playing with Argentina in the World Cup. Richarlison also won’t be available to go in this game.

On the other side of this matchup is Brentford who sits in 10th place in the standings having picked up 19 points. Brentford played a game on Saturday against Wolfsburg and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. On Tuesday, December 13th, they played against Celta Virgo, and they didn’t look good as they were defeated 3-1. Pontus Jansson is finally healthy and could play in this game. Aaron Hickey, Thomas Strakosha and Kristoffer Ajer are all still banged up though and won’t be able to play in this game. In this game, I would expect that Brentford is going to go in a defensive shape first and really try to take away the Tottenham Hotspur offense. 

I don’t expect Tottenham is going to get many scoring chances in this game, and that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. I expect Brentford’s defensive shape to find success in this game. Brentford’s offense isn’t going to find a lot of success scoring here, and the under is going to cash.
