Brentford vs. Tottenham Hotspur Predictions: Two Tips for Saturday's evening kick-off in the Premier League

Top four chasing Tottenham Hotspur travel to Brentford on Saturday evening, as the two sides meet in a Premier League London Derby.

The hosts secured their third league win in as many games last time out, thanks to a last minute Pontus Jansson goal claiming a 2-1 win away to Watford. This means Thomas Frank's men have claimed 15 points from a possible 18, with only Liverpool collecting more in this time. The Bees currently occupy 12th place in their first Premier League season and with five games left to play have their eyes on a top half finish, and an upset here would make that feat increasingly likely.

Tottenham Hotspur’s four game winning run game to an end in their last outing – with a late goal from Leandro Trossard was enough for the Seagulls to secure all 3 points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However despite that home loss, Conte will know it is still in his sides’ hands in the race for that luxurious 4th placed spot with 6 games left to play. A return to winning ways here could create a points gap to North London rivals Arsenal if they fail to defeat Man United in the early kick off, but it certainly won’t be easy against one of the divisions most in-form sides.

Conte has no fresh injury concerns ahead of this fixture, with Japhet Tanganga, Matt Doherty and Oliver Skipp all still absent.

Brentford will be without Frank Onyeka and Sergei Canos. Ethan Pinnock is also a doubt.

Scoring goals had not been an issue for Tottenham Hotspur prior to the Brighton game, where they didn’t even manage a shot on target! I’m willing to look past this as an anomaly as I think we could see goals in London Saturday tea time.

Spurs have scored 2 or more in 5 of their last 6 away game, including 4 vs Villa in their latest. Backing Son to score at 6/4 certainly appeals.

The prolific Spurs forward is the second top scorer in the Premier League and is definitely one of the divisions best finishers - he’s managed 6 goals in his last 4 games. Harry Kane seems to be back to his playmaking best as of recent as well - despite 0 goals in his last 4, the England captain has provided 5 assists in this time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Son get a few chances here in a game I expect goals with the pressure now off Brentford.

I get the incline that Brentford are going to attack this fixture, so backing some stat related bets in line with that looks good for a bet builder. There is no pressure on Brentford to perform as they are all but safe of the drop, but in front of the cameras I expect them to give it a go.

- Brentford average 11.6 shots per home game and Tottenham concede an average of 14.4 per away game!

- With Brentford shots should produce some Tottenham goal kicks – they conceded 8 and 9 goal kicks in their last 2 matches.

- Eriksen has managed 2 or more shots in all of his Starts in the Premier League bar 1 when he ended 1 short. He faces his former club here.

- Andre Marriner is the referee for this fixture and despite the fact it is a London Derby I don’t fancy many cards. Marriner has not shown 6 or more cards in 18 matches.

Combining these 4 selections gives us a tasty 5/1 shot which you can create using Bet365’s bet builder. I am happy to play this at 1 Point for our second selection.
