Fri Sep 20 11:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Tottenham Hotspur Aim to Build Momentum Against Brentford After Coventry Win

**London, England:** Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to build on their midweek victory against Coventry City when they host Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. Despite a frustrating start to the season, Spurs have shown strong possession stats but struggled to translate that into goals.

The win against Coventry, albeit against a Championship side, could be the spark needed for a turnaround. However, a repeat performance against Brentford is crucial, as anything less than three points could see the victory viewed as a meaningless blip.

Brentford, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to the season with wins against Liverpool and City interspersed with losses. They are currently sitting at 15th in expected goals difference, suggesting they might struggle to avoid relegation again.

While Spurs boast a strong backline, they have been vulnerable to counter-attacks, and the absence of Brentford forward Yoane Wissa (3 goals, 1 assist) could provide an opportunity to tighten up defensively.

Manager Ange Postecoglou is starting to settle on his preferred starting XI, with Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson showing promise. The match against Brentford will be an opportunity for the team to find their rhythm and showcase their potential.

With the start of the Europa League looming next week, a strong performance against Brentford will be essential for Spurs to gain momentum and build confidence for the rest of the season.
