Why you should back Tottenham
With Harry Kane now at FC Bayern, forward Son Heung-Min is one of the lead attackers. Heung-Min has terrific contact balance and owns great footwork with the ball. The 31-year-old is also very agile and quick in the open field. Last year, Heung-Min was second on the team in goals (10) and third in assists (6).
Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg plays a variety of roles for this team. Hojbjerg is a smart passer and has good awareness. The 28-year supplied four goals and five assists during the 2022-23 EPL season. Midfielder Ivan Perisic is a reliable facilitator for Tottenham. Perisic excels on crossers and gives his teammates a great chance to capitalize. He ranked first on the team in assists (8) last English Premier season. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Brentford
Midfielder Bryan Mbeumo is a versatile and impactful force. Mbeumo has the skillset to create scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. During the 2022-23 English Premier League campaign, Mbeumo was second on the team in goals (9) but first in assists (9).
On May 20 versus Tottenham, Mbeumo had two goals on six shots along with one assist. Midfielder Yoane Wissa provides Brentford with a strong striker. Wissa will use his quickness and speed to get around defenders with ease. Last year for the Bees, the 26-year-old had seven goals and three assists. See which team to pick here.
