The Lilywhites travel across London to the Bees this weekend in the Premier League, hoping the positivity of progressing in the Europa League will push them to an urgently needed three points. Let’s take a look at the historical record between Tottenham and Brentford.
Tottenham and Brentford have not played each other much
Across the history of Tottenham and Brentford, the two clubs have only faced each other 14 times.
Half of these fixtures occurred in the League Cup and FA Cup as Brentford were only promoted to the Premier League in 2021.
Of the 7 Premier League fixtures between the two sides, the points are favoured towards Spurs. However, there has been a distinct difference between home and away results.
Tottenham have won 3 of the 4 games played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, only losing once in 2023.
Whereas, Spurs’ three trips to Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium have all ended in a draw.
Tottenham Premier League record vs Brentford:
Wins: 3
Draws: 3
Losses: 1
Goals for: 13
Goals against: 10
The fixture’s top scorer shows the limited history between the teams
The top-scorer in games between Spurs and Brentford is Bryan Mbeumo with a total of 4 goals.
This total is followed by Teddy Sheringham and Brennan Johnson with 3 and 2 respectively.
This list of goalscorers highlights the relative recency of Brentford’s promotion, but also the odd trend of goals coming from many different players when these sides play one another.
Sergio Reguilon is one of two active Premier League players who have played for both teams
The full list of who has played for both Brentford and Tottenham is only 9 players long.
Of that list, only Cristian Eriksen (now at Manchester United) and Sergio Reguilon are still playing in the Premier League.
While rarely featuring under Ange Postecoglou, Reguilon may be required against his old loan destination with Djed Spence returning from injury.
Additionally, with the Carabao semi-final against Liverpool a few days away, Postecoglou may want to rotate as much as possible to stand a chance of progressing to the final.
