Brentford vs. Spurs – Betting Analysis
Tottenham have a chance to reach their first domestic cup final since 2015, but it could also go wrong. We know Brentford will not be easy to beat and will fight more harder than Stoke did two weeks ago. But Jose Mourinho’s team must be big favorites. Tottenham have a much superior team on paper than Brentford, who are on a fantastic run. Their next Premier League game isn’t until January 13th, so they should be focused.
