Tottenham will face Brentford in the fifth round of the 2024-25 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 11 p.m. on the 21st (Korea time). Tottenham is in 13th place with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses (4 points), and Brentford is in 9th place with 2 wins and 2 losses (6 points).
Tottenham desperately needs a win. It secured victory over Coventry City in the third round of the English Football League Cup, but was not satisfied. It was dragged by 0-1 to win the match with two goals scored right before the game ended. Naturally, the team displayed poor performance. The team failed to score a point by garnering high ball possession ratio.
The situation is even worse in the league. Leaving behind the draw at Leicester City in the opening match, the team garnered a 4-0 complete victory at Everton in the second round, and succeeded in turning the mood around. However, the team lost at both the Newcastle United match and the Arsenal match. Again, the ball possession ratio was high, but the attack work was not efficient. Chance making was insufficient, and the strikers’ shooting accuracy and scoring ability in front of the goal were not good.
As the match is taking place at home, Korea should win a match against Brentford to turn the mood around. Recently, there are strong criticisms against Coach Enze Postecoglou. Even so, his team’s embarrassment to Coventry in the third round of the EFL Cup came as a shock to the fans. Postecoglou needs to win in a good mood with his tactic and change the fans’ minds.
However, predictions have been made that Tottenham will not be able to win again this time. The Evening Standard of the U.K. predicted a 2-2 draw. “Tottenham has no difficulty in subduing its opponent, whether it is at home or away. However, if the team gains high ball possession, it will not pose any threat of attack. This match will be a real test for Tottenham, and neither team will be able to secure three points,” the media reported. 토토사이트 모음
If Tottenham does not win even the match against Brentford, fans’ anger will explode. Since the opening of this season, there has been no pleasant victory except against Everton. The result is the result, but above all, the performance is the biggest problem. Only frustrating attacks continue.
