Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford
English Premier League, KO: 12:30 May 20, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur StadiumTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR will be hoping to pick up maximum points from their penultimate Premier League fixture of the season against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
It's been a pretty turbulent and overall disappointing season for Spurs who start the weekend occupying seventh spot in the table.
Last time out, Ryan Mason's men fell to a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, with Unai Emery's side moving level on points with Londoners in the process.
Back on home turf this weekend and for the final time this season, Tottenham will surely look to give their fans something to cheer about by beating Brentford.
After securing an impressive 13th-placed finish in their maiden top-flight campaign, Thomas Frank’s team are on track to better that effort with top-half finish this time around,
The Bees will make the short trip across the capital in good spirits after claiming a comfortable 2-0 win over West Ham last weekend.
Outright Betting
Tottenham Hotspur, who have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight Premier League home games, go into this game as odds-on 5/6 (Bet 365) favourites.
The reverse fixture on Boxing Day ended all square and the same outcome here can be backed at 11/4 (Bet 365) while the visitors are 31/10 (BetVictor) outsiders.
Betting Angles
At the best of times, Tottenham are difficult to trust at odds-on prices, so I'm going to bypass the outright betting and instead head to the goalscorer market.
One of the few positives for Spurs this season has been the goalscoring form of Harry Kane and the England skipper looks an enticing price to strike on Saturday at 21/20 (UniBet).
The Tottenham talisman has been blazing a trail through Premier League backlines this season having banged in 27 league goals, a tally only topped by Man City superhuman Erling Haaland.
While Brentford are always a tough nut to crack, they have conceded at least one goal in 25 of their 36 league games this season thus far, not to mention they have filed just two clean sheets across their last 10 league games.
That doesn’t bode well ahead of a trip to a Tottenham team – who for all their shortcomings – have only failed to score in four of their 36 top-flight tussles this term to date, with Harry Kane helping himself to a healthy portion of those goals.
It's also worth pointing out that the aforementioned Kane notched when these sides met earlier in the season and that only adds to the appeal of backing Tottenham's main man to repeat the trick here at 21/20 (Unibet).
Elsewhere, Tottenham's Cristian Romero could be worth a small investment to pick up a card during this dust-up at 12/5 (Bet 365).
The World Cup winner received his 10th Premier League booking of the season last weekend and looks a prime candidate to land himself in trouble with the officials again here.
