Brentford vs Tottenham predictions: Domestic issues to continue for Spurs
&w=707&quality=100)
- Brentford have collected 23 points at home
- Tottenham have lost seven times on the road in the league
- Recommended bet: Brentford to win
Brentford will be hoping to build from last week's victory at Crystal Palace when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Gtech Community Stadium for Premier Premier League action on Sunday.
The Bees picked up just their second away victory of the league of the season at Selhurst Park and they will be eager to build on that when hosting a Spurs side still walking wounded.

Team news
Brentford remain without the services of Joshua Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago and Ryan Trevitt, while Ethan Pinnock is a major doubt due to a hamstring issue.
Christian Norgaard and Kevin Schade are expected to shake off knocks picked up in the win at Palace, but Michael Kayode is unlikely to get international clearance in time for this clash.
Spurs' injury list was added to in Thursday's Europa League win over Elfsborg, with Radu Dragusin coming on as a substitute before being forced off with a knee problem.
He joins James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Cristian Romero and Wilson Odobert in the treatment room.
On more positive news, Djed Spence is expected to return from his spell on the sidelines and he could be thrust straight back into the defence.
The stats
Brentford won seven and drew one of their opening eight home league matches this season, but they have since suffered three defeats and a draw in their next four top-flight outings at the Gtech.
There have been a combined 82 goals in the Bees' 23 league matches, just one less than Spurs' tally of 83.
Spurs have collected just 10 points on the road on the domestic stage, leaving just five teams below them in this department.
Tottenham have lost four of their last five away fixtures in the league, suffering defeats at Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Everton.
Prediction
While Tottenham have been going along nicely in the Europa League, it has been a different story in the Premier League and four defeats in a row has seen them slide down the table.
Spurs have taken just one point from the last 21 on offer in the top-flight and there has been little from their performances of late to suggest that record will get any better.
A long injury list continues to hamper Tottenham and a Brentford side buoyed by last weekend's 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park will be eager to take advantage of the situation.
While Thomas Frank's side have failed to win any of their last four home fixtures in the league, those contests have come against Forest, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Coming up against a Lilywhites team who are walking wounded, the Bees, spearheaded by Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, look capable of picking up the win.
