Our prediction for the Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford match
The "Spurs," even without Kane last season, were contending for a return to the Champions League. Ange Postecoglou managed to finish higher than both Manchester United and Chelsea but lost the race to Aston Villa. Brentford, who had been without Toney for an extended period, struggled and eventually found themselves fighting to avoid relegation, though they secured safety with 39 points, finishing 16th.
In London, they realized they could cope without Ivan Toney and ultimately sold him, though after the European transfer window closed, with the England international moving to the Middle East. Notable new arrivals include a young pair from Liverpool, Sepp van den Berg and Fábio Carvalho. Interestingly, they spent more on these signings than they earned from selling their top striker! Meanwhile, Tottenham bet on Solanke. Several players have left the club, including Højbjerg, Sessegnon, Gil, Emerson Royal, Skipp, Solomon, and Lo Celso, while they signed Bergvall and Odobert.
Postecoglou’s side stumbled in the opening round, missing out on a win over Leicester. After thrashing Everton, they lost to Newcastle. Autumn began with a crucial derby against Arsenal, which ended in a narrow 0-1 defeat. Tottenham then advanced in the League Cup after a penalty shootout against Coventry. Thomas Frank's Brentford had a solid start: they passed Colchester in the League Cup, and later this week, they overcame Leyton Orient. In the Premier League, they couldn’t stand up to Liverpool but managed wins over Crystal Palace and Southampton. They also suffered a narrow 1-2 defeat to Manchester City.
